At Hyster, we recognize that each and every work environment and application requirement may differ. We have clients in a wide array of businesses which inspire us to offer a very diverse variety of materials handling product solutions. Regardless of what your business is or what the environmental conditions we have a machine to get jobs done effectively and meet your requirements. We have established trusting relationships between service, production and promotion teams so that we could assure you that each machinery is manufactured to the highest quality standards and that you would receive the continuous support you need when you have a Hyster machine on your work site.

From the preliminary concept and design to the manufacturing and sale of the equipment, each and every product that Hyster markets would go through a nine stage development process. Each and every stage of the development process has been established to ensure product quality over the lifetime of the machinery. Hyster testing centers could simulate the life cycle of a lift truck to make sure that the machinery performs as designed and that it lasts.

To be certain that we know what our clients really want, Hyster performs a great deal of research concerning client requirements. All this research is then utilized to the products design. Designs are built using cutting edge computer aided design techniques that help to reduce the risk of weak points and make certain that positioning of every component is optimal for both performance and servicing needs. Next, prototypes are made in cooperation with professionals and specialists in compartment design and ergonomics. Every prototype and component is put through rigorous life cycle testing to find and correct any problems 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 will function to a high standard. Testing in real life settings is also performed so that we can gather more information on the machine's performance and be confident that it would meet the standards needed to complete the task.
