At Hyster, we recognize that each work environment and application requirement can be different. We have clients in a huge variety of industries which motivates us to provide a really diverse array of materials handling product solutions. Regardless of what your industry is or what the environmental conditions we have a machine to get jobs completed effectively and meet all your requirements. We have built trusting relationships between manufacturing, marketing, and service groups so that we can assure you that all equipment are built to the highest quality standards and that you would be given the ongoing support you require when you have a Hyster machine on your work place.

From the initial concept and design to the production and sale of the equipment, every machinery that Hyster markets will go through a nine stage development process. Every stage of the development process has been created to ensure product quality over the lifetime of the machinery. Hyster testing centers are able to simulate the life cycle of a forklift in order to make sure that the equipment lasts and that it performs as intended.

To begin with, Hyster performs a great deal of research about customer requirements in order to be sure that we know what all our customers really want. This research is then used to product design. Designs are built using cutting edge computer aided design systems which help to reduce the risk of weak points and make sure that positioning of all parts are optimal for both service requirements and performance. Prototypes are then built in cooperation with professionals and specialists in ergonomics and compartment design. Every component and prototype is put through thorough life cycle testing to find and correct any issues which could lessen the life of a component or a machinery to a less than optimal level. When a machinery comes out of the testing stage of development, we would like to be certain that it would perform to a high standard. Testing in real life settings is also done so that we could gather more information on the machine's performance and be confident that it would meet the standards needed to get the job completed.
