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 j 2.50 xm (717) 2500kg counterbalance forklift in and around Banbridge BT32 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.
