From the preliminary concept and design to the manufacturing and selling of the product, every product that Hyster markets will go through a nine stage development process. Each and every stage of the development process has been established to ensure product quality over the lifetime of the machine. Hyster testing centers could simulate the life cycle of a lift truck in order to make sure that the equipment lasts and that it performs as intended.
To begin with, Hyster performs a great deal of research regarding client needs in order to be certain that we know what all our customers really want. This research is then applied to product design. Designs are built utilizing cutting edge computer aided design techniques that help to lessen the risk of weak points and ensure that positioning of every component is optimal for both performance and servicing needs. Then, prototypes are made in cooperation with specialists and professionals in compartment design and ergonomics. Every prototype and component is put through thorough life cycle testing to pick up on and correct any problems which could reduce the life of a component or a machinery to a less than optimal level. When a machine comes out of the testing stage of development, we want to be certain that it will function to a high standard. Testing in real life settings is also carried out so that we could collect more data on the performance of the equipment and be confident that it would meet the standards needed to get the task done.
