You need a lift truck that can pull its own weight. The E45-65Z AC
power series from Hyster Company does that and more. Our models
work harder, longer, more cost effectively and more efficiently —
without the frequent service required by our competitors’ vehicles.
Ideal for warehouse, retail or industrial applications, the E45-65Z series is powered by a 36- or 48-volt AC system and is
tough enough to take on just about anything. And by employing AC technology, Hyster Company has built in the ability to
tailor lift truck performance to individual needs. Whether your application requires increased speed or longer battery life —
the Hyster E45-65Z delivers the power your application requires.
