From the preliminary concept and design to the manufacturing and selling of the machinery, every machinery that Hyster markets would go through a nine stage development process. Every stage of the development process has been established to ensure product quality over the equipment's lifetime. Hyster testing centers can simulate the life cycle of a forklift in order to make certain that the product performs as designed and that it lasts.

To start with, Hyster performs a lot of research about customer needs in order to be sure that we know what our customers really want. This research is then used to product design. Designs are built utilizing cutting edge computer aided design techniques which help to reduce the risk of weak points and make sure that positioning of all parts are optimal for both service needs and performance. Prototypes are then built in cooperation with experts and specialists in compartment design and ergonomics. Every component and prototype is put through rigorous life cycle testing to pick up on and correct any issues which can reduce the life of a part or a machine to a less than optimal level. When a machinery comes out of the testing stage of development, we want to be certain that it will perform to a high standard. Testing in real life settings is also done so that we could gather more information on the performance of the machine and be confident that it would meet the standards required to complete the job.
