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 1.60 xmt (545) 1600kg counterbalance forklift in and around scotland you might wish to be aware that a forklift driver also has a legal duty to ensure the safety of others. In one case a forklift driver working at a sawmill was fined £1,750 plus costs after an incident in which he hit a fellow employee causing a fractured pelvis, cuts and bruises. The driver''s vision was impaired by the load he was carrying. In this case the employer had employed an in-house forklift truck trainer and the driver had received regular refresher training and re-testing and as a result it was the employee not the employer that was fined for this incident.
