Hyster H170FT Specifications
The Hyster H170FT is a diesel-powered forklift that
delivers exceptional power, durability, and efficiency for heavy-duty
operations. Its core strength lies in the proven Kubota 3.8L turbo diesel
engine, providing dependable torque and reliability for continuous use, meeting
Tier 4 Final emission levels with a Diesel Oxidation Catalyst (DOC). The durable
powertrain is computer controlled and managed by an electronic management
system.
Operator comfort and safety are prioritized through features like hydrostatic
power steering, an adjustable steer column, premium oil-cooled wet disc brakes,
the patented DuraMatch transmission, and the Hyster Stability System (HSS). The
H170FT is designed for productive operation across various applications with low
operating costs, featuring the Auto Deceleration System (ADS), controlled
rollback on ramps, and ECO-eLo performance mode to reduce energy consumption by
up to 15% compared with previous generation engines.
This model is equipped with a 2-stage limited free-lift (LFL) VISTA mast as
standard, with optional 3-stage full free lift masts available depending on
application requirements. It rolls on heavy-duty pneumatic tires. The distance
from the centre of the drive axle to the fork face is 24.2 in (613.5 mm). The
wheelbase is 96.5 in (2,450 mm). The total service weight of the truck is 24,824
lb (11,260 kg) for the standard unladen configuration.
When fully laden, the axle load distribution places 37,509 lb (17,014 kg) on the
front axle and 4,314 lb (1,957 kg) on the rear axle. In an unladen state, the
front axle load approximately 12,022 lb (5,453 kg), and the rear axle load
12,800 lb (5,806 kg). The overhead guard height is 100 in (2,531 mm). The step
height from ground to running board is 12.6 in (321 mm), with an additional step
height from running board to operator station of 10.1 in (256 mm). The overall
width is 88 in (2,239 mm).
The Hyster H170FT is powered by the Kubota 3.8L turbo
diesel engine, a robust and reliable powerplant specifically designed for
heavy-duty industrial operation. It is a four-cylinder turbocharged engine
meeting Tier 4 Final emission levels with a total displacement of 230 cu.in
(3,769 cc). This engine produces a rated power of 110 hp (82 kW) at 2,400 rpm,
with peak torque of 373 lb-ft (275 Nm) at 1,600 rpm. The fuel tank capacity is
19.7 gal (74.8 L).
The engine comes with a cast iron cylinder block and no high tension wires,
distributor caps, or rotors. Lubrication is provided by a pressure-fed system
ensuring all moving components are adequately lubricated. Cooling is managed by
a liquid-cooled system with a Combi-cooler radiator designed to maintain optimal
operating temperatures.
Transmission: It is fitted with a patented DuraMatch
3-speed powershift transmission with electronic inching and electronic shift
control. The transmission provides 3 speeds forward and 2 speeds reverse. It
features the Auto Deceleration System (ADS) which automatically applies the
service brakes to slow the truck when the operator releases the accelerator
pedal, reducing brake and tire wear. Controlled power reversal and controlled
rollback on ramps provide maximum control on grades and increase operator
productivity.
Travel Speed: The forklift achieves a laden forward travel speed of 13.4 mph
(21.5 km/h) and an unladen forward travel speed of 14.5 mph (23.3 km/h). Reverse
speeds are 10.7 mph (17.2 km/h) laden and 11.6 mph (18.6 km/h) unladen.
Axles: The drive axle is located at the front with 4 wheels. The rear steer axle
has 2 wheels with a track width of 60.4 in (1,535 mm). The front track width is
78.9 in (2,003 mm).
Brakes: The service brake system utilizes premium oil-cooled wet disc brakes
with foot/hydraulic control. They are completely sealed from water and dirt,
providing excellent stopping power and extremely long service life in the
harshest environments. The parking brake is mechanical with hand control.
The electrical system is engineered to reliably support
the engine, safety features, and lighting. It operates on a standard 12-volt
architecture with dual maintenance-free batteries rated at 900 cold cranking
amps each (total 1800 CCA). The system powers the starter motor, engine control
systems, and all essential lighting components for safe operation.
Non-mechanical, Hall-Effect sensors and
switches are designed to outlast the life of the truck. The system
features the Vehicle System Manager (VSM) for comprehensive control and
diagnostics. The Hyster Stability System (HSS) is integrated into the
electrical architecture.
The chassis provides a rigid and durable foundation,
constructed from heavy-gauge steel with fully welded frame construction to
support all major components under heavy load stress. The operator compartment
features an ergonomic design with optimized step height and non-slip tread, soft
touch contoured hand grip, and significantly expanded floor space. The
three-point entry design with low step height facilitates easy driver access.
Wheels and Tires: The H170FT is fitted with pneumatic tires with 4 front and 2
rear wheels.
Front: 8.25x15-14 PR
Rear: 8.25x15-14 PR
Track Width:
Front: 78.9 in (2,003 mm)
Rear: 60.4 in (1,535 mm)
Drive Configuration: The vehicle utilizes a 2-wheel drive configuration, with
the four front wheels serving as the driven wheels.
Steering: The steering system on the Hyster H170FT is a hydrostatic power
steering system that provides smooth and effortless control during low-speed
maneuvering and in confined spaces. An infinitely adjustable steer column
enhances operator comfort and productivity.
The hydraulic system is responsible for powering the
lifting, tilting, and any auxiliary functions. It is equipped with a 3-function
hydraulic control valve with TouchPoint hydraulic mini-levers and a fully
adjustable armrest. The system operating pressure for attachments is 2,250 psi
(15.5 MPa). The hydraulic tank capacity is 19.0 gal (71.7 L).
Leak-free O-ring face seal fittings reduce
leaks for enhanced reliability. Performance optimization developments
include load sensing hydraulics (power on demand) to reduce total fuel
consumption. A safety valve prevents uncontrolled lowering of the load.
The mast tilts forward by 5 degrees and backward by 9.2 degrees.
