Hyster H155FT Specifications
| Basic Information |
The Hyster H155FT is a 7.0-tonne (15,500 lb) capacity
forklift, available with LPG or diesel power, engineered for powerful
performance in demanding heavy-duty material handling applications. As a core
model in Hyster's Fortens series, this forklift is designed for intensive use in
industries such as ports, heavy manufacturing, construction materials, and
automotive operations.
Powered by a choice of advanced engines including the GM 4.3L V6 LPG unit or
Kubota 3.8L turbo diesel, it delivers responsive power and efficient operation.
Its robust chassis, pneumatic tires, and choice of Electronic Powershift or
DuraMatch transmissions ensure productive, safe, and efficient operation.
Operator comfort and safety features, including the Hyster Stability Mechanism
(HSM), oil-immersed wet disc brakes, and adjustable steer column, contribute to
exceptional handling confidence and reduced operator fatigue.
The Hyster H155FT is a counterbalanced pneumatic tire forklift truck designed
for versatility and safety. It operates on LPG or diesel and is controlled by a
seated operator. Its rated load capacity is 7030 kg (15500 lb) at a 610 mm (24
in) load centre. The load distance from the drive axle centre to the fork face
measures 601 mm (23.7 in), and the truck has a wheelbase of 2235 mm (88.0 in).
The service weight of the truck when unladen with standard equipment is 9495 kg
(20960 lb). When fully laden, the axle loading on the front axle is 15047 kg
(33180 lb) and on the rear axle is 1487 kg (3280 lb). When unladen, these
figures shift to 4213 kg (9290 lb) on the front and 5292 kg (11670 lb) on the
rear.
| Engine Specs |
Basic Technical Data: The main element of the Hyster
H155FT is available with multiple engine options to suit various application
requirements. The LPG version utilizes a GM 4.3L V6 engine, a six-cylinder unit
with electronic controls. It has a total displacement of 4.3 L (262 cu.in). The
engine is rated to produce 72 kW (96 hp) at a rated speed of 2400 rpm. Maximum
torque is 285 Nm (210 lb-ft) achieved at 2400 rpm.
Alternative engine options include the Kubota 3.8L turbo diesel producing 70 kW
(94 hp) at 2200 rpm with 333 Nm (246 lb-ft) of torque at 1600 rpm. The Kubota
engine features a cast iron block and heads, forged steel crankshaft,
turbocharger with wastegate, oil-cooled pistons, and an electronically
controlled high-pressure common-rail fuel system.
It is equipped with an Exhaust Gas
Recirculation (EGR) system and a Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) to meet
Tier 4 interim emission standards. A Cummins 4.5L diesel engine is also
available in some configurations, producing 78 kW (105 hp). The fuel
tank capacity is 74.8 L (19.8 gal) for gas or diesel units.
Lubrication and Cooling: The system is designed to support continuous
operation in demanding conditions. The engine employs a forced
lubrication system with spin-on full-flow oil filters to protect
internal components. The cooling system includes a heavy-duty radiator
with an anti-clog design to ensure efficient heat dissipation during
extended use in tough applications.
| Drive Train |
Transmission: The H155FT is equipped with multiple
transmission options. The standard Fortens model features a 2-speed Electronic
Powershift transmission with hydraulic inching and electronic shift control. The
Fortens Advance models feature the 3-speed DuraMatch transmission which manages
truck deceleration and direction changes, contributing to extending brake and
tire life and preventing transmission wear. The DuraMatch transmission offers 3
forward gears and 2 reverse gears. All powertrains are controlled, protected and
managed by the Pacesetter VSM industrial on-board computer featuring a CANbus
communications network.
Travel Speed: The forklift achieves a maximum travel speed of 22.0 km/h (13.6
mph) when fully laden and 22.5 km/h (14.0 mph) when unladen with the Electronic
Powershift transmission. With the DuraMatch transmission, travel speeds increase
to 25.1 km/h (15.6 mph) laden and 25.7 km/h (15.9 mph) unladen. LPG versions
achieve 21.9 km/h (13.6 mph) laden and 22.1 km/h (13.7 mph) unladen.
Axles and Brakes: The truck uses a drive axle configuration with four wheels on
the front and two on the rear (4x2). The service brake system features
oil-immersed wet disc brakes housed in a sealed unit, preventing contaminants
and damage in dirty environments. The brakes are hydraulic with foot control,
while the parking brake is mechanical with hand control. The drive axle
incorporates planetary reduction gears and a differential assembly.
| Electrical System |
The electrical system operates at 12V with a maintenance-free battery rated at 475 or 1010 cold cranking amps depending on configuration. The system features the Pacesetter VSM industrial on-board computer with CANbus communications network for comprehensive monitoring and control.
Intelligent CANbus technology permits adjustment and optimization of the truck's performance, in addition to monitoring key functions, enabling quick, easy diagnostics and minimising repair downtime. The system is responsible for starting the engine and powering all lights and operator interface components.
| Wheels and Tires |
The Hyster H155FT is fitted with pneumatic tires,
designed for traction and comfort on various indoor and outdoor surfaces. It has
six wheels in total, with four on the front axle and two on the rear (4x2). The
front and rear tire size is 8.25x15-14PR (210 mmx381 mm). The front tread width
measures 1846 mm (72.7 in), and the rear tread width is 1536 mm (60.5 in). The
body and frame are constructed of robust, fully welded heavy gauge steel for
durability, with a robust chassis design that optimises capacity retention at
high lifts.
The Hyster H155FT features hydrostatic power steering with an equal-area,
double-ended steering cylinder mounted in a cast ductile iron axle frame.
Elastomeric axle mounts absorb shock and allow lubrication-free articulation.
Wheel hubs rotate on large, tapered roller bearings, and top spindle bearings
are lubricated through easy-access lube fittings.
The hydrostatic steer system provides smooth, precise steering with only 4 turns lock-to-lock. The infinitely adjustable tilt steering column allows operators to easily obtain a comfortable driving position. The mast and fork carriage can tilt forward by 5 degrees and backward by 10 degrees to facilitate load handling and secure transport.
| Hydraulic System |
The hydraulic system is a core component for lift and tilt operations. The auxiliary hydraulic working pressure for attachments is 155 bar (2250 psi). Load Sensing Hydraulics (LSH) are available, increasing productivity while lowering fuel consumption. A 3-function hydraulic control valve is standard, with cowl-mounted hydraulic control levers available for convenient operation.
Seatside E-hydraulics with TouchPoint mini-levers are available to reduce operator fatigue on long shifts. The hydraulic tank capacity is 70.9 L (18.7 gal) for drain and refill. An in-tank hydraulic filter allows for cleaner overall operation, and leak-free O-ring face seals help maximize uptime.
| Mast Data |
The Hyster H155FT is equipped with a 2-stage limited
free-lift VISTA mast as standard, with a maximum fork height of 5400 mm (212
in). With the mast fully lowered, the height to the top of the mast is 3740 mm
(148 in). The standard free lift height is 160 mm (6 in). Optional full free
lift masts offer 2416 mm (95 in) of free lift with load backrest and 2640 mm
(103 in) without.
At maximum lift, the mast extends to a total height of 6595 mm (260 in) without
load backrest and 6754 mm (266 in) with load backrest. The fork carriage is a
1981 mm (78 in) wide hook-type carriage with a 1219 mm (48 in) tall load
backrest extension. The standard forks have dimensions of 60 mm (2.5 in) thick,
150 mm (6 in) wide, and 1219 mm (48 in) long. Fork spread maximum outside to
outside edge is 1876 mm (73.9 in) with a minimum inside to inside edge of 160 mm
(6.3 in).
