Business Wire
Curtiss-Wright Corporation (NYSE: CW) today announced that it
was awarded a contract by Hyster-Yale Group to supply a suite of
in-cab operator controls for its new modular family of Internal
Combustion and Electric lift trucks. The new generation of Lift
Trucks, ranging from 1 to 10 tons, represents a critical portion of
the Hyster-Yale Group’s Class 4 and 5 offerings. Under the
contract, Curtiss-Wright will be fitting these lift trucks with
customized operator controls, including a modular armrest, steering
column controller and electronic throttle control, with each
element contributing to an effective, in-cab operating environment
meeting the needs of the modern-day materials handling market.
“The development of our suite of leading-edge vehicle control
products is a strong example of how we are addressing the growing
demand for the electronification of industrial vehicles,” said Lynn
M. Bamford, President and CEO of Curtiss-Wright Corporation.
“Further, it represents the culmination of a close and productive
collaboration between Hyster-Yale and Curtiss-Wright, combining our
years of expertise and knowledge to deliver a highly flexible
solution. We are proud to have been selected to partner with
Hyster-Yale on this program and look forward to continuing that
close relationship well into the future.”
Working closely with Hyster-Yale Group, Curtiss-Wright developed
an armrest solution that accommodates over 50 variants into an easy
to use set of controls. The ergonomic design enables the machine
operator to use a combination of levers and joysticks to control
key machine functions such as movement of the forks, directional
control, emergency stop and horn, all with the use of just one
hand. Delivery of the suite of in-cab operator controls is expected
to begin in the second quarter of 2021.
