THE HYSTER® END RIDER.


DURABLE COMPONENTS. SIMPLIFIED SERVICEABILITY.

No matter your role, your reputation is always on the line. Day in and day out – you’ve got to keep things moving. How can you reduce the chances of that dreaded “my equipment is down” moment?

With reduced service times and increased service intervals, this truck can be serviced faster and as much as 50% less often, meaning less time out of service and more time moving product.

reduced force in pull rod

Reducing force in pull rod by 25% results in less wear and tear on the truck.

Lubrication and 'x' groove bushings at all pivot points.

50%
increase in steel

The thicker, more durable undercarriage is designed to guard against dirt and debris, with felt washers that seal bushing locations to keep dirt out and lubrication in.

EXIT ROLLERS

LARGE EXIT ROLLERS REDUCE PALLET DRAG

Large exit rollers equal those of the leading competitor. Increased exit roller size reduces pallets' tendency to drag.

INCREASED BEARING SURFACES

1.00" FLAG-STYLE LINKAGE PINS

1.00" flag-style linkage pins match the leading competitor's in size. The increased bearing surfaces create a more consistent force distribution and extends the life of lubrication making your truck more durable.

INCREASED STRENGTH

1.00" THREADED ROD ADJUSTMENT

1.00" threaded rod adjustment is comparable to the leading competitor. This extra weight increases the strength in the "fuse point" without changing the assembly or serviceability.

REDUCED FORCE BY 25%

1.25" x 2.75" PULL ROD

Reducing force in pull rod by 25% results in less wear and tear on the truck. Oversized pull rods tie linkage together for smooth lifting and lowering.

MORE STRENGTH IN FRONT LINKAGE

FRONT YOKE & UPPER LINKS

Improvement to the front linkage enhances truck performance. Extending the pivot arms helps reduce forces in the pin, and increasing the weight of the front yokes by 45% enhances their strength. Our engineers changed the front upper links from bar-stock to casting, and increased the weight by almost 70% to create a pallet jack that consistently outperformed the competition.

FRAME & FORKS
IT'S WHAT'S UNDERNEATH THAT COUNTS.

Forks and Frame

Your operation needs an end rider that can handle rigorous demands. From enhancing frame stability, to reinforcing our forks with more steel, to engineering the undercarriage to protect all of the truck's most critical components, we've designed our heavy duty end riders to be the durable solution to your application's toughest challenge.

fork close-up

A 50% increase in steel on the standard forks and a 75% increase on double pallet forks gives this truck the strength to lift even the heaviest loads, and our single-piece casting puts less stress on the risers.

Enhanced frame has more metal in all the right places for greater strength and steadier load handling.

Fork tip is specifically designed for smooth pallet entry. Increasing fork-pallet interlocking pressure by 500% allows for successful pallet exit on the first try.

QUICK-ADJUST CASTERS
RECUCING SERVICE TIMES TO KEEP YOU MOVING FORWARD.

Springless, heavy duty casters can be adjusted from the top of the operator platform in about 2 minutes with the truck on the floor and the battery in its box, significantly reducing maintenance time.

  • Durable design resists damage from dock plates
  • No coil springs to break
  • Urethane spring block is durable and damage resistant
  • Wheel for protection

ACCELERATED LIFT TEST

310,000,000 lbs
lifted by Hyster.

109,000,000 lbs lifted by the leading competitor.

In an accelerated lift test of the full undercarriage linkage system, the Hyster® end rider provided nearly three times the lift cycles than the leading competitor. A lift cycle equaled raising and lowering a load every five to seven seconds. Cycles continued until bushing or lift failure. Bushings were replaced and the testing started again. After three rounds of tests, the results were obvious.
