Hyster Co.: YardMaster® HR45 Series Container Handlers

Hyster Co.

The Hyster Co. YardMaster® HR45 series of container handlers is equipped with the ELME 817 top pick 20- to 40-foot telescopic spreader and pendular floating twistlocks. Built of high-tensile steel, the telescoping boom is designed to stack 9-foot 6-inch containers five-high in the first row and four-high in the second row to increase storage capacity and bottom line, the company says. Eight-foot 6-inch containers can be stacked five-high in both the first and second rows. Its dual lift cylinders feature an equalizing valve designed for stability, while the rotator allows for -85 to 185 degrees of rotation. The YardMaster HR45 cab is designed to provide all-around visibility.
