Hyster H110XM Specifications

Basic Information

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.

- 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)

- 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.

Drive Train

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)

- 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.
