Hyster knows that each work environment and application may be quite different. This has motivated the Hyster company to provide a diverse product variety of materials handling product solutions for a wide range of businesses. No matter what the environmental conditions are or what your business is we have a machine to meet all your needs and get tasks done effectively. We have built trusting relationships between service, manufacturing and marketing teams so that we could assure you that each and every machine is manufactured to the highest quality standards and that you will receive the continuous support you require when you have a Hyster machine on your work site.

From the initial concept and design to the manufacturing and sale of the equipment, each and every machine that Hyster markets would go through a nine stage development process. Every stage of the development process has been created to ensure product quality over the lifetime of the machine. Hyster testing centers can simulate the life cycle of a lift truck in order to make sure that the machinery performs as intended and that it lasts.

To start with, Hyster performs a great deal of research about customer needs to be certain that we know what all our customers truly want. This research is then applied to product design. Designs are built using cutting edge computer aided design systems which help to lessen the risk of weak points and make sure that positioning of all parts are optimal for both performance and servicing needs. Prototypes are then built in cooperation with experts and specialists in compartment design and ergonomics. Each component and prototype is put through rigorous life cycle testing to find and correct any issues which may reduce the life of a machinery or a part to a less than optimal level. When a machinery comes out of the testing stage of development, we want to be certain that it would function to a high standard. Testing in real life settings is also done so that we can gather more information on the machine's performance and be confident that it will meet the standards needed to complete the job.
