(GREENVILLE, N.C., USA: May 7, 2008) Hyster Company (www.hysteramericas.com), a leading lift truck designer and manufacturer in North America, and Performance Learning Services announce the release of all existing Hyster Productivity in Motion Operator Training Programs on DVD. The training DVDs were created to help dealers provide training sessions quickly and easily to operators in their areas.  

Each DVD includes options for dealers to either view the presentation or select operator training support documents for downloading and printing. The documents are OSHA-compliant and include:

•    Instructions for printing
•    Operator Training Instructor’s Guide

Using the DVD, dealers no longer need to order and purchase additional printed materials — they can now print an unlimited number of operator training support documents wherever they are.
