Hyster H2.5UT Specifications

Basic Information

The Hyster H2.5UT is a diesel-powered, counterbalanced forklift truck manufactured from approximately 2020 to 2024. This rider-seated model is engineered for medium-duty indoor and outdoor material handling tasks requiring a rated load capacity of 2500 kg. The machine is powered by the Yanmar 4TNE92 engine, a four-cylinder diesel unit with a displacement of 2.6 liters, meeting EU Stage IIIA emission regulations.

The UT series represents a versatile range of counterbalanced forklifts designed for light to medium applications in confined spaces, with capacities ranging from 1.5 to 3.5 tons. The H2.5UT features a one-piece welded frame with many components cast, including the drive axle housing, ensuring structural integrity and durability. The single-speed powershift transmission is well-proven, reliable, and efficient.

Tilt cylinders are sealed to minimize contamination, and large, high-quality filters ensure optimum performance. The risk of unplanned downtime is reduced thanks to excellent cooling by the radiator, which manages engine coolant and transmission oil. Auxiliary hoses are centered on the free lift cylinder to eliminate hose twisting, with positive hose retention and large radius bends to minimise hose scuffing.

The Hyster H2.5UT is a four-wheeled forklift with a load capacity of 2500 kg or 5512 lb at a 500 mm or 19.7 in load centre. The nominal load at the centre of gravity is 2.5 t. Its design prioritises stability and manoeuvrability in confined spaces. The machine is fitted with superelastic tyres as standard according to the data sheet, though pneumatic tyres are also referenced.

The tyre configuration is 2x2, indicating two wheels on the front drive axle and two wheels on the rear steer axle. The transmission type is W (powershift). The service weight of the machine is 3650 kg or 8047 lb. Weight distribution with full load places 5320 kg or 11729 lb on the front axle and 650 kg or 1433 lb on the rear axle. Without load, weight distribution shifts to 1500 kg or 3307 lb on the front axle and 2150 kg or 4740 lb on the rear axle.

Engine Specs

Basic Technical Data: The forklift is powered by the Yanmar 4TNE92 engine, a four-cylinder diesel unit meeting EU Stage IIIA emission standards. With a displacement of 2659 cc or 2.6 L , this engine produces 33.9 kW or 45.5 hp of power at a rated speed of 2450 rpm according to ISO 1585. The engine delivers peak torque of 143 Nm or 105 lb-ft at 1400 rpm. Alternative LPG configurations utilize the GCT K25 engine producing 37.4 kW with displacement of 2488 cc. The proven industrial engines ensure reliable performance.

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. Large, high-quality filters ensure optimum performance.

Cooling: Engine temperature is regulated by a liquid cooling system. This system comprises a radiator, a water pump, a thermostat, and a cooling fan. The radiator manages both engine coolant and transmission oil, providing excellent cooling that reduces the risk of unplanned downtime. The water pump circulates coolant through the engine jackets to absorb heat, which is then dissipated as it passes through the radiator core.

Drive Train

Transmission: The Hyster H2.5UT is equipped with a single-speed powershift transmission (type W) that is well-proven, reliable, and efficient. The DuraMatch transmission system provides seamless acceleration control.

Travel Speed: The forklift achieves a laden travel speed of 20.0 km/h or 12.4 mph and an unladen speed of 20.0 km/h or 12.4 mph according to the data sheet.

Axles: The front axle is a rigid, drive axle that carries the majority of the load, with the drive axle housing cast as an integral component of the one-piece welded frame. The rear axle is a steer axle designed to oscillate, allowing all wheels to maintain ground contact on uneven surfaces. Both drive and steer axles are cast for durability. The wheelbase measures 1600 mm or 63.0 in. The tread width is 970 mm or 38.2 in for the front and 980 mm or 38.6 in for the rear. The step height from ground to running board is 430 mm or 16.9 in, with an intermediate step height of 697 mm or 27.4 in.

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

Electrical System

The electrical system operates on a 12 V architecture. It includes a comprehensive wiring harness connecting all electrical components. The system includes an Operator Presence Sensing (OPS) system that automatically cuts off hydraulic and travel functions when the operator leaves the seat, ensuring vehicle and personnel safety. The steering column must be returned to centre position before the engine can start.

Wheels and Tires

Wheel Drive: The Hyster H2.5UT features a 2-wheel drive configuration, with the front wheels providing the tractive effort (2x driven wheels).

Wheels: The forklift uses a 2x/2 wheel configuration, meaning two wheels on the front axle and two on the rear. The front wheels are the driven wheels. The machine features a one-piece welded frame with many components cast, including the drive axle housing, ensuring durability.

Tires: This model is fitted with superelastic tyres as standard according to the data sheet. The tyre size for the front is 7.00-12 NHS-12. The tyre size for the rear is 6.00-9 NHS-10. Standard tyres are specified as L 2x/2 for diesel models and P 2x/2 for LPG models , with superelastic as an option. Pneumatic tyres provide stability outdoors and optimized maneuverability.

Steering: The steering system is hydrostatic power steering. The turning radius is 2350 mm or 92.5 in according to the data sheet. The internal turning radius is 136 mm or 5.4 in. The redesigned steering column height and angle, combined with optimized steering wheel centre, reduces neck and shoulder fatigue during operation.

Hydraulic System

The hydraulic system is designed for efficient lifting and tilting operations. It operates at a maximum operating pressure for attachments of 175 bar or 2538 psi. The pump delivers a rated flow of 64 L/min or 16.9 gpm for attachments. Tilt cylinders are sealed to minimize contamination. Large, high-quality filters ensure optimum performance.

Auxiliary hoses are centered on the free lift cylinder to eliminate hose twisting, with positive hose retention and large radius bends to minimise hose scuffing. The hydraulic oil tank capacity is 60.0 L or 15.9 gal, with an alternative of 70.0 L.

Mast Data

The Hyster H2.5UT can be equipped with various mast types. Specifications for a standard mast include a lowered height of 2010 mm or 79.1 in. Construction height is 2180 mm or 85.8 in. The mast has a free lift of 160 mm or 6.3 in, allowing the forks to be raised to this height without increasing the mast's overall height. The standard lift height is 3000 mm or 118.1 in. At full lift, the upright extends to a height of 3575 mm or 140.7 in with load backrest.

The fork carriage is CLASS II A according to ISO 2328. The fork carriage width is 1040 mm or 40.9 in. The standard fork dimensions are 40 mm or 1.57 in thick, 122 mm or 4.8 in wide, and 1070 mm or 42.1 in long according to DIN ISO 2331. The load distance from the centreline of the front axle to the front face of forks is 475 mm or 18.7 in. The mast and fork carriage can tilt forward by 6 degrees and backward by 12 degrees to facilitate load handling and secure transport.
