Hyster has added the new platform double stacker to its range of warehouse equipment to help operations increase productivity, while managing costs.

The new Hyster S2.0SD stacker truck, which can handle loads up to two tonnes, enables double stacking and handling of open sided pallet loads, as well as the transportation and loading or unloading of pallets stacked two high in a trailer.

For operator protection and comfort, the Hyster S2.0SD platform double stacker features a large platform with rubber floormat to provide excellent grip and side/rear operator compartment panels. The truck provides an ergonomic lifting option for shelf replenishment operations with a two-stage NFL mast with lift heights of 1,660mm, 2,020mm and 2,980mm. Applications with tight spaces can also benefit, thanks to the flexibility of a fold-up platform. Models with a fixed platform are also available.

Those opting to use a lithium-ion battery with the truck will also benefit from high uptime across multiple shifts thanks to the ability to opportunity-charge during breaks via the convenient side plug. The truck is designed to be ‘lithium-ion ready’, with a controller that automatically recognises the chemistry of the battery (lithium-ion vs. lead-acid) so there is no need to change any parameters to manage the battery.

Monica Radavelli, Product Manager for Hyster said, “Managing costs is as important as ever, so the new Hyster platform double stacker is designed for dependability as well as productivity, with a low total cost of ownership. It features heavy duty components, robust design, a reliable electric system, and simple serviceability that applications can combine with additional options to further match the truck to the specific application.”

The Hyster S2.0SD platform double stacker, which replaces the current Hyster P2.0SD model, is available to order now.
