New Lift Truck Selection Guide

A new kind of industrial equipment analysis guide and rating table similar to job and personnel rating techniques has been introduced by Hyster Company for comparison and selection of fork lift trucks. The plan, known as "IIow to Select a Lift Truck," is based on user evaluation of job requirements and truck features by points with a chart and analysis guide.

Thirty-six lift truck features are listed for comparison under the following headings: Performance, Ease of Operation, Durability, Serviceability and Appearance. As many as four trucks can be analyzed and compared on the chart. Total points achieved by each model are divided by the selling price to determine a price-per-point.

Copies of the truck selection guide and the rating table are available at Hyster dealers or by writing for Forms 1406 and 1411 to the Hyster Company, n02 N.E. Clackamas, Portland 8, Oregon.
