Hyster H3.0FT Fortens Specifications

Basic Information

The Hyster H3.0FT Fortens is an LPG-powered forklift that delivers a compelling balance of power, efficiency, and versatility for material handling operations. Its core strength lies in the proven PSI 2.4L or optional Kubota, or Yanmar engines, providing dependable torque and reliability for continuous use. The durable powertrain is computer controlled, protected and managed by the Pacesetter VSM electronic management system, featuring a CANbus communications network.

Operator comfort and safety are prioritized through features like hydrostatic power steering, a well-designed operator compartment, and the optional Autospeed Hydraulics system. The H3.0FT is equipped with the electronically controlled DuraMatch 1-speed transmission and is designed for productive operation across various applications with low operating costs.

This model rolls on superelastic tires, with standard front tire size 28X9-15 and rear tire size 6.50x10. The distance from the centre of the drive axle to the fork face is 483 mm (19.0 in). The wheelbase is 1,623 mm (63.9 in). The total service weight of the truck is 4,612 kg (10,168 lb). When fully laden, the axle load distribution places 6,640 kg (14,639 lb) on the front axle and 972 kg (2,143 lb) on the rear axle.

In an unladen state, the front axle load 1,823 kg (4,019 lb), and the rear axle load 2,789 kg (6,149 lb). The overhead guard height is 2,185 mm (86.0 in). The seat height relating to SIP is 1,086 mm (42.8 in). The coupling height is 390 mm (15.4 in). The overall length is 3,633 mm (143.0 in). The length to face of forks is 2,633 mm (103.7 in). The overall width is available as 1,186 mm (46.7 in) standard, with options up to 1,601 mm (63.0 in).

Engine Specs

The Hyster H3.0FT Fortens offers a choice of three engine options to suit different application requirements. The primary engine is the PSI 2.4L, a robust and reliable powerplant specifically designed for LPG industrial operation. It is a four-cylinder engine with a total displacement of 2,351 cc (143.5 cu.in).

This engine produces a rated power of 44.0 kW (59.0 hp) at 2,700 rpm according to ISO 1585 standards, with peak torque of 164 Nm (121 lb-ft) at 2,000 rpm. Fuel consumption according to VDI cycle is 3.1 L/h.

An alternative is the Kubota 2.5L engine, a four-cylinder engine with a displacement of 2,491 cc (152.0 cu.in). It produces a rated power of 43.9 kW (58.9 hp) at 2,500 rpm, with peak torque of 178 Nm (131 lb-ft) at 1,000 rpm.

Another alternative is the Yanmar 4TNE98 engine, a four-cylinder engine with a displacement of 3,319 cc (202.5 cu.in). It produces a rated power of 43.0 kW (57.7 hp) at 2,600 rpm, with peak torque of 189 Nm (139 lb-ft) at 1,700 rpm. The fuel tank has a capacity of 52.8 L (14.0 gal).

The engine meets EU exhaust gas emission regulations applicable at the time of manufacture. Lubrication is provided by a pressure-fed system ensuring all moving components are adequately lubricated. Cooling is managed by a liquid-cooled system designed to maintain optimal operating temperatures.

Drive Train

Transmission: It is fitted with a computer-controlled DuraMatch 1-speed automatic powershift transmission. The electronically controlled DuraMatch transmissions provide smoother directional changes to eliminate shock loading and extend the life of the clutch packs. These transmissions offer unique and patented features, managed by the VSM, such as the Auto Deceleration System, which contributes to extending brake and tire life and so reduces the frequency of required changes and ultimately your overall operating costs. The transmission type is designated as W.

Travel Speed: The forklift achieves a laden travel speed of 19.1 km/h (11.9 mph) and an unladen travel speed of 20.3 km/h (12.6 mph).

Axles: The drive axle is located at the front. The rear steer axle is robust with proven steer axle design.

Brakes: The service brake system is hydraulic, with optional oil-immersed brakes available. The parking brake is mechanical.

Electrical System

The electrical system is engineered to reliably support the engine, safety features, and lighting. It operates on a standard 12-volt architecture and features a CANbus communications network. The Pacesetter VSM (Vehicle System Manager) electronic management system ensures maximum uptime and dependability, as it allows for fast and accurate trouble-shooting, facilitates first-time fixes and can help to minimise costly "parts swapping". The system powers the starter motor, engine control systems, and all essential lighting components for safe operation.

Wheels and Tires

The chassis provides a rigid and durable foundation, constructed from heavy-gauge steel with fully welded frame construction to support all major components under load stress. Wheels and Tires: The H3.0FT Fortens is fitted with superelastic (SE) tires with 2 front and 2 rear wheels.

Front Tires: 28x9-15
Rear Tires: 6.50x10

Track Width:
Front: 965 mm (38.0 in)
Rear: 967 mm (38.1 in)

Drive Configuration: The vehicle utilizes a 2-wheel drive configuration, with the two front wheels serving as the driven wheels.

Steering: The steering system on the Hyster H3.0FT Fortens provides smooth and effortless control during low-speed maneuvering and in confined spaces.

Hydraulic System

The hydraulic system is responsible for powering the lifting, tilting, and any auxiliary functions. The system operating pressure for attachments is 155 bar (2,248 psi). The main hydraulic pump has a rated flow of up to 75 L/min (19.8 gpm) for attachments. The hydraulic oil tank has a capacity of 45.8 L (12.1 gal). If the Autospeed Hydraulics option is selected when lifting a load the engine speed is automatically increased to provide full hydraulic power.

The Pacesetter VSM maintains the current travel speed (or prevents travel) until the operator steps on the accelerator. No operator inching is required and productivity and efficiency is increased by simplifying operator actions. The mast tilts forward by 6 degrees and backward by 5 degrees. A safety valve prevents uncontrolled lowering of the load.

Mast Data

The standard mast configuration is available as a 2-stage limited free lift mast or 3-stage full free lift mast depending on application requirements. Mast Height (Lowered): 2,195 mm (86.4 in).

Free Lift: 140 mm (5.5 in). This feature allows for lifting loads at low heights without increasing the overall mast height, a valuable function when entering trailers or working under low-clearance structures.

Maximum Fork Height (Lift): 3,055 mm (120.3 in). Mast Height (Extended): 3,805 mm (149.8 in). Maximum Lift Height (3rd stage mast): Available up to 5,800 mm (228 in).
