Hyster H175FT Specifications

Basic Information

The Hyster H175FT is a heavy-duty, diesel-powered, counterbalanced forklift truck manufactured from approximately 2019 to 2025. This sit-down rider model is engineered for demanding outdoor material handling tasks requiring a rated load capacity of 17500 lb or 8000 kg. The machine is powered by the Kubota 3.8L turbo diesel engine producing 110 hp or 82 kW, meeting EPA Tier 4 Final emission standards with a DOC. The Fortens series features the durable powertrain with DuraMatch transmission providing 3 speeds forward and 2 speeds reverse.

The Auto Deceleration System automatically slows the truck when the accelerator pedal is released, extending brake and tyre life. Controlled rollback on ramps provides maximum control on grades and increases operator productivity. Additional features include electronic inching, electronic shift control, controlled power reversal, 3-function hydraulic control valve, hydrostatic power steering, adjustable steer column, rubber floor mat, Combi-cooler radiator, and TouchPoint hydraulic mini-levers with fully adjustable armrest.

The Hyster H175FT is a four-wheeled forklift with a load capacity of 17500 lb or 7937 kg at a 36 in or 900 mm load centre. The machine is fitted with pneumatic tyres as standard with a 4x/2 configuration indicating four wheels on the front drive axle and two wheels on the rear steer axle. The transmission type is powershift with 3 speeds forward and 2 speeds reverse.

The service weight of the truck without load is 26782 lb or 12148 kg, and with load is 44280 lb or 20085 kg. Weight distribution without load places 11367 lb or 5156 kg on the front axle and 15415 lb or 6992 kg on the rear axle. With load, weight distribution shifts to 39778 lb or 18043 kg on the front axle and 4502 lb or 2042 kg on the rear axle.

Engine Specs

Basic Technical Data: The forklift is powered by the Kubota 3.8L turbo diesel engine producing 110 hp or 82 kW at 2400 rpm with peak torque of 373 lb-ft or 275 Nm at 1600 rpm. The engine displacement is 3769 cc or 230 cu.in with 4 cylinders. The engine meets EPA Tier 4 Final emission standards with a Diesel Oxidation Catalyst (DOC). The engine power at governed speed is 110 hp. Some sources indicate 74 hp or 55 kW at 2200 rpm with torque of 227 lb-ft or 308 Nm at 1400 rpm. The fuel tank capacity is 19.7 gal or 74.8 L.

Lubrication: The engine lubrication system is a forced-feed type, employing a gear pump to circulate oil throughout the engine block and cylinder head, ensuring all moving components are adequately lubricated for reduced friction and prolonged engine life. The system includes a full-flow oil filter to remove contaminants. The maintenance-free battery system simplifies routine checks.

Cooling: Engine temperature is regulated by a liquid cooling system with a Combi-cooler radiator that manages both engine coolant and transmission oil. This system comprises a radiator, a water pump, a thermostat, and a cooling fan. The water pump circulates coolant through the engine jackets to absorb heat, which is then dissipated as it passes through the radiator core. The powertrain protection system monitors temperatures to ensure optimal operation.

Drive Train

Transmission: The Hyster H175FT is equipped with an electronically controlled DuraMatch powershift transmission featuring 3 speeds forward and 2 speeds reverse. The DuraMatch transmission provides smoother directional changes to eliminate shock loading and extend clutch pack life. The Auto Deceleration System automatically slows the truck when the accelerator pedal is released and brings the truck to a stop, significantly extending brake and tyre life. Controlled power reversal moves loads more efficiently with less operator fatigue and product damage. Controlled rollback on ramps controls the rate of descent on a grade when the brake and throttle pedal are released, providing maximum control. Electronic inching and electronic shift control simplify operation.

Travel Speed: The forklift achieves a laden travel speed forward of 13.3 mph or 21.5 km/h and unladen forward speed of 14.4 mph or 23.2 km/h. Reverse travel speed with load is 10.6 mph or 17.1 km/h and without load is 11.5 mph or 18.6 km/h.

Axles: The front axle is a rigid, drive axle that carries the majority of the load, while the rear axle is a steer axle designed to oscillate, allowing all wheels to maintain ground contact on uneven surfaces. The wheelbase measures 96.5 in or 2450 mm. The track width front is 78.9 in or 2003 mm and rear track width is 60.4 in or 1535 mm.

Brakes: The service brake system is foot-operated hydraulic type, providing reliable and controlled stopping power. The parking brake is hand-operated mechanical type. The service brake is hydraulic drum type.

Electrical System

The electrical system operates on a 12 V architecture with two maintenance-free batteries rated at 900 cold cranking amps each for a total of 1800 CCA. The dash-mounted instrument display provides gauges and warning indicators. Non-mechanical, Hall-Effect sensors and switches have been fitted which are designed to outlast the life of the truck.

The powertrain protection system monitors and alerts the operator when temperatures rise. The step height from ground to running board is 12.6 in or 321 mm, and from running board to operator station is 10.1 in or 256 mm.

Wheels and Tires

Wheel Drive: The Hyster H175FT features a 2-wheel drive configuration with 4 wheels on the front drive axle and 2 wheels on the rear steer axle (4x/2 configuration).

Wheels: The forklift uses a 4x/2 wheel configuration, meaning four wheels on the front axle and two on the rear. The front wheels are the driven wheels. The machine features a robust chassis design for enhanced durability in heavy-duty applications.

Tires: This model is fitted with pneumatic tyres as standard. The front tyre size is 8.25x15 14PR and the rear tyre size is 8.25x15 14PR. Some sources indicate dual drive pneumatic tires. Solid pneumatic tyres are available for yard applications.

Steering: The steering system is hydrostatic power steering with adjustable steer column. The minimum outside turning radius is 149 in or 3794 mm. The minimum inside turning radius is 14.3 in or 362 mm. The length from centre of wheels to face of forks is 24.2 in or 613.5 mm.

Hydraulic System
