Hyster H110XM Specifications
The Hyster H110XM is a heavy-duty pneumatic-tire
forklift designed to handle demanding industrial tasks that require strength,
long-term durability, predictable hydraulic response, and reliable lifting
power. With a rated lifting capacity of 11,000 lb (4,990 kg), it belongs to
Hyster’s XM series - a generation of machines engineered during a transitional
period in forklift design, offering refined mechanical systems and rugged
construction without relying on overly complex electronics.
This balance makes the H110XM ideal for harsh
multi-shift operations in steel fabrication facilities, construction
supply yards, lumber mills, ports, heavy manufacturing plants, and
high-load distribution centers.
Operators value the H110XM for its highly stable wheelbase, predictable
steering characteristics, strong torque delivery from industrial diesel
or LPG engines, and exceptional visibility through the mast. The truck
is especially favored in environments where reliability and
straightforward maintenance are top priorities.
Its pneumatic tires provide strong traction and
shock absorption on rough surfaces, allowing the truck to perform
efficiently outdoors in gravel yards, lumber facilities, and
construction material depots. The machine’s overall design reflects
Hyster’s philosophy of building forklifts that remain effective long
after their production era.
The H110XM was produced with several industrial engine
options depending on production year, emissions regulations, and market. These
engines were selected based on their torque characteristics, ease of service,
and long-term industrial reliability.
Common Engine Options:
- Cummins QSB 3.9-L diesel engine (widely used)
- Cummins QSB 4.5-L diesel engine (later years)
- GM 4.3-L V6 LPG/gasoline industrial engine
- Ford or Mazda LPG engines (less common in late models)
Diesel Engine Characteristics:

Lubrication System
The lubrication system ensures steady and reliable oil flow even under high
workloads.
- Oil type: full-pressure wet-sump
- Oil pump: heavy-duty internal gear pump
- Oil capacity: approx. 7-9 L (7.4-9.5 qt)
- Idle oil pressure: 25-35 psi (172-241 kPa)
- High-speed oil pressure: 60-70 psi (414-483 kPa)
- Filtration: full-flow spin-on oil filter
Recommended oil:
- Diesel: SAE 15W-40
- LPG/Gas: SAE 10W-30 or SAE 15W-40
The lubrication system is engineered to withstand extended operation in dusty,
high-temperature industrial environments.
Cooling System
Cooling performance is critical for a high-capacity forklift that often works at
slow speeds and high engine loads.
- Coolant capacity: approx. 16-20 L (17-21 qt)
- Thermostat opening temperature: approx. 82°C (180°F)
- Cooling pressure: approx. 13-15 psi (90-103 kPa)
- Water pump: belt-driven centrifugal
- Cooling fan: heavy-duty mechanical fan with deep shroud
- Radiator type: cross-flow industrial core
The system is designed to dissipate heat consistently during long-duration
lifting and repeated hydraulic duty cycles.
Transmission
The H110XM employs a heavy-duty powershift transmission engineered for smooth
shifting and long service life.
- Transmission type: 1- or 2-speed hydraulic powershift
- Forward speeds (unladen): approx. 12-14 mph (19-22 km/h)
- Reverse speeds: approx. 10-12 mph (16-19 km/h)
- Transmission fluid capacity: approx. 14-18 L (14.8-19 qt)
- Recommended fluid: ATF Dexron III or industrial ATF
- Shift modulation: hydraulic clutch packs with controlled engagement
This transmission provides controlled acceleration and strong power delivery
even under heavy load.
Drive Axle
A planetary-reduction drive axle handles the enormous torque and stress loads
associated with 11,000-lb lifting.
- Axle type: cast-steel housing with multi-stage reduction
- Lubrication capacity: approx. 10-12 L (10.5-12.7 qt)
- Lubricant: SAE 80W-90 or 85W-140 depending on climate
- Hub design: planetary gear reduction hubs for long-duty cycles
The axle is engineered to provide consistent traction on uneven surfaces.
Braking System
Heavy-duty industrial brakes provide fade-resistant stopping performance.
- Service brakes: hydraulic wet-disc brakes (low maintenance)
- Parking brake: mechanical or spring-applied mechanism
- Brake cooling: oil-immersed discs ensure thermal stability
Wet-disc brakes are particularly useful in dusty, dirty environments where drum
brakes would deteriorate quickly.
The H110XM’s electrical system is simple, robust, and
service-friendly.
- System voltage: 12 V
- Battery capacity: approx. 120-150 Ah
- Alternator output: approx. 70-100 A
- Starter motor: approx. 3.0-4.0 kW
