How electric lift trucks power through tough conditions
In industries where the work doesn’ t stop for long, materials handling equipment needs to be more than just efficient. Equipment needs to be durable, dependable, and ready for the challenge. And increasingly, it needs to work both inside and outside, and with zero exhaust emissions.
Selecting zero emission electric lift trucks, like Hyster ® A Series forklifts, enables operations with industrial strength materials handling needs to support sustainability. All without compromising on performance in harsh weather, difficult terrain, and demanding shift patterns.
The robust and customisable Hyster ® J2.2-3.5A electric counterbalance forklift range is designed for energy efficiency, with a choice of batteries alongside the dependability needed in intensive and industrial operations. The new electric Hyster A Series forklifts offer high performance and low impact for lifts up to 3.5 tonnes. Building on the proven Hyster ICE A Series and long expertise in developing trusted electric forklifts, the new models enable operations to utilise clean power options while also selecting particular features for unique application needs.
Here’ s how Hyster J2.2-3.5A electric lift trucks help bring clean power and productivity-driving features to match specific tough handling demands.
Wood Handling, Timber Yards, and Building Materials Depots
What’ s the challenge? These sites often operate both indoors and outdoors year-round in the yard. Forklifts can be exposed to severe weather, dirt, dust, and uneven

terrain. Trucks must handle loads like packs of wood, large boards, pallets of bricks, and cement bags, and do so with great efficiency.
The solution: The Hyster A Series electric forklifts feature a robust chassis, sealed electrical components, and an IP67-rating for protection against dust and water. This helps it withstand the rigours of outdoor use, reducing downtime and maintenance costs. At the same time, the lift trucks are designed for high performance, emissionfree operation indoors when needed. Tailoring the truck with weatherproof cabin options also aid operator comfort, even in wet and dirty conditions.
Metal Finished Goods, Recycling, and Scrap Handling
What’ s the challenge? Facilities handling metals are often arduous environments. There can be sharp debris, fluctuating temperatures, and frequent stop-start operations. Energy efficiency and durability are critical.
The solution: With a choice of battery options, the Hyster A Series electric lift trucks allow tough metal operations to select the right power to meet their demands. For example, the lithium-ion battery option provides fast, opportunity charging, which can help maximise uptime- ideal for operations that can’ t afford delays. Drive motor options also enable the truck to be customised to manage charging needs, energy
