, Hysler's New All-Purpose lift Truck Works in Boxcors, Yords or Buildings

An all new, pneumatic tire, lift truck that has the compactness to work inside a single-door boxcar, yet has the traction and capacity to handle 70m-lb. loads over rough yard terrain, has been developed by Hyster Company for both the one truck and multi-truck user. With an unusual combination of long r,r'heelbase for stability and exceptionally compact dimensions for close-quarter work, the Hyster 70 also features maximum power for a trend toward the packaging of larger, more economically handled unit loads.

The Hyster 70 has been designed to meet the needs of the retail lumber industry which requires a heavyduty maneuverable unit which can operate within confined yard and storage areas.

Typifying its manueverability qualities is a turning radius : of 100" and a length of. I06/s". Both measurements are the shortest in the 7000-lb. pneumatic range. In addition to performance in confined lumber handling operations, the iHyster 70 is also advantageous for stevedoring operations, concrete products handling and other industries requiring , lift-truck power and compactness.

The truck is equipped with pneumatic tires to provide the flexibility required for both inside and outside operation. These insure adequate flotation over rough terrain or unpaved yard surfaces at the same time, allow the operator to work in inside storage locations when transferring or stacking a load. All-weather dependability is provided by a heavy-duty Hercules gasoline engine. Large bore and stroke enables this 70-H.P. engine to develop a rated torque ol182 pounds-feet atlZffi R.P.M.

Hydraulic booster-type power steering is standard equiprnent and assures effortless, fast maneuvering and instantaneous response. The Hyster 70 also features center-point steering with rugged steering axle which pivots about the longitudinal axis of the truck to maintain tire contact over rough ground conditions, and long-lived, self-energizing aircraft type brakes that have 166.4 square inches of braking surface, the largest in the field.a

Rugged one-piece frame and body provide maximum stability. Heavy duty upright assembly provides unexcelled strength and rigidity for handling capacity loads. Floating drive axles offer a frnal 4:1 reduction at the drive wheels u'hich reduces strain on transmission components.

The new Hyster 70 can be equipped with any number of special attachments in addition to forks having lengths specifically designed for the loads encountered in retail lumber operations. Among these is the End Loader that enables the operator to end-stack long lengths of lumber, thus eliminating the need for side aisles and alleviating the normally crowded conditions caused by increased inventory the Side Shift, which enables the operator to move his carriage sideways to stack unit loads evenly . the Swing Shift attachment, which permits angle stacking, again to make utilization of existing space and a number of hydraulic or mechanical attachments including a crane boom that is espegially well-suited for unloading gondola-type railroad cars.

Other features include conveniently operated controls a new direct reading dial for recording engine hours, high-capacity cooling s),stem incorporating a pusher type fan, a heavy-duty lZ-inch diameter clutch. Various upright heights, "free lift" mast, LP-Gas fuel system, diesel engine and dual drive wheels are available as optional equipment.
