Riekes Equipment Introduces New Hyster A Series

KANSAS CITY, MO (Jan 5, 2023) – Riekes Equipment in North Kansas City offers the new award-winning Hyster^® H40-70A series. Thes 4,000-to-7,000-pound capacity forklifts offer world-class ergonomics, low total cost of ownership and safety features designed to bolster confidence and productivity, including the innovative Dynamic Stability System (DSS).

The A Series is a new line of forklift trucks manufactured using the Hyster A+ Logic design philosophy. A+ Logic is a scalable approach that begins with the strong base of the A Series truck platform and allows customers to choose the options they need from a fully integrated set of scalable and adjustable features based on their unique application.

“We developed A+ Logic because no two customers face identical challenges and meeting their needs means building the truck around them – not a generic, off-the-shelf solution,” says John Santiago, Director, Product Planning and Solutions, Hyster. “A tight-knit collaboration with our customers was an essential part of our approach, and the A Series platform allows us to act on that feedback, delivering a lift truck solution built around their needs, with everything they need and nothing they don’t.”

Durable components and extended service intervals help further control maintenance spend and bolster reliability and uptime.

“The A Series delivers the tough, high-quality forklifts that customers in demanding applications expect, with advances to support truck stability, operator best practices and ultimately, productivity,” says Jimmy Anderson, Product Manager, Hyster. “As operators push to get the job done, DSS lends them a helping hand, automatically reinforcing their training. It gives visual indicators, audible alerts and automatic performance adjustments for stable travel that keeps business moving. Whether you are an operator, a manager or a business owner, DSS is a tool to helps meet targets for performance and safety.”

“We are excited to offer the Hyster A Series lift trucks to our customers.”  Said Pete Womack, Riekes Equipment VP of Sales. ” It focuses on the operator, providing comfort and visibility for safe use all day long. There is even an optional glass roof that provides an  unobstructed upward view to help operators when placing loads up high.”

While the A Series offers exceptional configurability, it also offers robust standard features, such as DSS which is standard on all H40-70A models and completely maintenance-free, DSS uses sensors to continually monitor truck status. When it detects the truck exceeding designated thresholds, DSS automatically implements measures like limiting truck speed and hydraulic function, to help minimize the risk of forward and sideways tip-overs.
