Carter Holt Harvey Pinepanels - Hyster H14.00XM

Carter Holt Harvey's giant MDF mill at Rangiora are rapt with their new Hyster H14.00XM forklifts which were delivered recently after a rigorous purchasing evaluation programme. The Pinepanels site had fond memories of the Hysters they used many years ago, and were impressed with the latest model from Hyster's Nijmegen plant. Pinepanel's site requirements are demanding, with reliability from the forklifts of utmost importance, due to the high costs involved in interrupting production. The forklifts also work very high hours, in some cases in excess of 6000 per annum. Gough Forklifts could see the benefits that the new Hysters would offer Pinepanels, as not only are these new trucks the toughest in the industry, but they also have unsurpassed levels of operator comfort. Fork visibility was also an important consideration for Pinepanels, as MDF boards are easily damaged if handled incorrectly. Hyster's award-winning cabin, with curved front windscreen and slim profile A pillars,provides outstanding forward visibility, and the operators at CHH have been quick to appreciate the benefits Hyster provides. The two new trucks were specified by Craig Armstrong-Fray of Gough Forklifts, who was present at the handover along with (from left) Paul Foster of Goughs and Paul Robertshaw and Shane Thomson of Carter Holt Harvey Pinepanels.
