Hyster Forklift Part
Hyster Forklift Part - Hyster is known as a global leader in forklift trucks. However, it began as a producer of lifting equipment as well as winches. Most of its production was focused in the northwest United States and dealt mostly with the wood and logging industry. A couple years after the first forklift trucks were invented Hyster became synonymous with quality manufacturing. Over the last 80 years Hyster has continued to get bigger and develop its product line. The growth of its products coupled with its desire to stay service oriented has allowed Hyster to grow into the international participant it is in our day.
In the period between 1940 and 1960, Hyster continued its growth throughout the western world. In 1946, Hyster opened a plant in Illinois that was exclusively committed to bulk producing trucks. This allowed Hyster to drive its costs down and, at the same time, offer a better quality product at industry aggressive prices. In 1952, Hyster began its first foray in to the international production market through opening its first plant in the Netherlands. The Netherlands plant was originally designed to produce two products: Hyster 40" and the Karry Kranes.
The endlessly changing needs of Hyster customers and Hyster's aptitude to continue to innovate led to rapid expansion throughout the 50's and 60's. They began building container handlers in the United states in 1959 to meet with the ever growing demand for transportation goods. In 1966, Hyster developed a process for enabling a lift truck to go both forward and backwards using the same pedal. This pedal was known as the Monotrol pedal, which revolutionized the industry. Later in the decade Hyster opened a R and D centre in Oregon that was focused on improving the design and functionality of lift trucks. The centre is still one of the world's best testing facilities in the materials handling industry.
The sixties was characterized by rapid growth right through the entire materials handling industry. Due to this, Hyster needed to refocus its approach towards these growing mass markets. As a consequence, in 1970, the XL design philosophy was born. The XL design philosophy allowed Hyster to offer better quality at a more affordable price. A further expansion in production capabilities was necessitated by the need in Europe for Internal Combustion Engine Vehicles. To plug this gap, a plant in Craigavon, Ireland was opened in 1980. Through the 80's Hyster continued to concentrate on developing industry leading forklifts. The Hyster brand name was recognized throughout the world for its dedication towards excellence. This attention to excellence produced many suitors for the enterprise. In 1989, a large multinational company based in Stockton called NACCO Industries bought Hyster and started an aggressive expansion plan. NACCO swiftly changed the XL philosophy with a more driver oriented lift truck that concentrated on operator comfort, which is known as the XM generation of forklifts.
The shift in supply change management to a much more just-in-time focused arrangement has meant that Hyster has had to frequently invest in brand new technology. Acquisitions and investments were made in the US, Italy, Netherlands, and lots of other places all over the globe. All of these investments have made Hyster a worldwide leader in the lift truck market. In 2009, Hyster celebrated its 80th anniversary as an industry leader of materials handling equipment, which consists of over 300 different models of forklift trucks.
