Midwest Manufacturing News • March 2026 • Cost-Effective Forklifts Offer Scalability

Hyster has announced the expansion of the UT Series of forklifts with two higher-capacity internal combustion engine (ICE) models, designed to meet the less demanding material handling needs within intense industries like metals, building materials, mining, and manufacturing. The 8,000-to-10,000-lb. capacity H80-100UT and 11,000-to-15,500-lb. capacity H110-155UT offer reliable, cost-effective solutions to help industrial businesses maintain productivity and protect their bottom line.

“The new additions to the UT Series play a key role in our approach to meet operations where they are by providing the strength and performance they expect from Hyster in solutions that are right-sized for their application,” said Jennifer Meyers, Global Activation Manager, Hyster. “The simple and straightforward design of these new trucks provides the ergonomics and serviceability to keep operators stacking, loading, and moving goods and keep operating costs low.”

The H80-100UT and the H110- 155UT are ergonomically designed to help reduce operator fatigue throughout the course of a shift, with a wideview mast for visibility, a 3.5” LCD display, and a familiar, automotivestyle layout that helps operators stay comfortable and efficient. Each model also offers generous foot room and an adjustable steering column to support a more comfortable operating position.

A profiled steel overhead guard and high-strength roof help enhance operator protection. The trucks also include an operator presence system as standard and can be configured with an optional full-suspension seat that reduces the shock and vibration experienced by the operator.

The large engine access area offers technicians generous room to perform routine maintenance, and troubleshooting issues does not require computerbased diagnostics. A heavy-duty powershift transmission and robust drive axle offer long service life. The UT Kubota 3.8- liter diesel, LPG, and dual-fuel engines provide reliable performance and enable operations to easily source replacement parts. In fact, the engine cover, instrument panel, display and many other components are exchangeable with UT Series trucks of other capacities.
