Southern African Hyster dealer BHBW has introduced a new reach truck that works inside and outside providing even more flexibility for storage, handling and loading operations.
The new “2-in-1” RO1.6-2.0 reach truck models, for lifts up to two tonnes, unlock new possibilities on sites with mixed indoor and outdoor operations. Pallets can be retrieved indoors and then loaded into trucks outside, or trucks with varying floor conditions can be unloaded and the pallets put away in the warehouse – all with the same reach truck.
The new outdoor reach truck features Super Elastic tyres for load and drive wheels for use on uneven, outdoor ground conditions, as well as in indoor warehouse operations. The Super Elastic tyres are particularly effective at absorbing the effects of uneven ground surfaces, making it comfortable for drivers while giving the Hyster durability that tough applications depend on.
For added flexibility and warehouse optimisation, the new reach truck also supports operations in narrow warehouse aisles, with a more compact design compared to most counterbalance lift trucks. The outdoor reach truck offers 3-stage FFL masts, with tilting and side-shifting forks, support a lifting height of up to 7.5m in the warehouse.
A number of options are available to enable businesses to power productivity in their specific application. For instance, telescopic forks can be added to increase the range of possible pallet positions, or to provide flexibility for operations that may need to load or unload trucks from one side only.
Simple serviceability and diagnostics are integral to the design of the outdoor reach truck, helping to maximise operational uptime. The reach truck is equipped with a range of standard and optional sensors to help enhance component reliability, minimise downtime for repairs, and reduce the total cost of ownership. There is a long service interval of 1 000 hours, reducing service needs and cost. Parts are readily available and easily replaced.
The new Hyster outdoor reach truck adds new depth to BHBW’s Hyster warehousing range, which also includes power pallet trucks, pallet stackers, standard reach trucks and low, mid and high-level order pickers and very narrow aisle trucks.
