Since the 1930's, when Hyster started manufacturing forklifts, the company has been recognised as a leading force in the materials handling industry. HYSTER is part of the Nacco Materials Handling Group (NMHG) a holding company responsible for the Materials handling activities of NACCO INDUSTRIES.

Hyster is able to offer a complete range of forklift and materials handling solutions, with over 140 products, covering lifting capacities from 1 to 52 tonnes; including pallet trucks, stackers, order pickers, reach trucks, narrow aisle trucks, electric diesel and gas counterbalance forklifts, and large container handlers.

While investigating hyster diesel forklifts in and around Newtownabbey BT58 you should be aware that a business was fined £2,000 and plus costs when a Health and safety Executive inspector found a worker being lifted eight feet into the air on a forklift truck to fit a company sign on the building. Although no one was hurt this incident had all the hallmarks of an accident waiting to happen. Accidents involving fork lift trucks make up a significant proportion of accidents in the workplace and it is an employer’s responsibility to ensure that drivers receive proper training and that equipment is used correctly.
