Hyster H40FT Specifications
The Hyster H40FT is a 1.8-tonne (4,000 lb) capacity,
LPG-powered, seated rider forklift, engineered for reliable performance in
demanding material handling applications. As a core model in Hyster's product
line, this forklift is designed for versatility in industries such as
warehousing, distribution, manufacturing, and logistics. Powered by a choice of
advanced engines including the PSI 2.4L LPG unit or Kubota 2.5L diesel, it
delivers responsive power and efficient operation.
Its robust construction, pneumatic tires, and optional DuraMatch transmission
with electronic controls ensure productive, safe, and efficient operation.
Operator comfort and safety features, including the Hyster Stability System
(HSS), hydrostatic power steering, and MONOTROL pedal, contribute to exceptional
handling confidence and reduced operator fatigue.
The Hyster H40FT 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 1814 kg (4000 lb) at a 610 mm (24.0
in) load centre. The load distance from the drive axle centre to the fork face
measures 470 mm (18.5 in), and the truck has a wheelbase of 1623 mm (63.9 in).
The service weight of the truck when unladen is
3472 kg (7654 lb). When fully laden, the axle loading on the front axle
is 4805 kg (10593 lb) and on the rear axle is 482 kg (1062 lb). When
unladen, these figures shift to 1782 kg (3929 lb) on the front and 1690
kg (3725 lb) on the rear.
Basic Technical Data: The main component of the Hyster
H40FT is available with multiple engine options to suit various application
requirements. The LPG version utilizes a PSI 2.4L engine, a four-cylinder unit
with electronic fuel management. It has a total displacement of 2.3 L (143
cu.in). The engine is rated to produce 44.0 kW (59.0 hp) at a rated speed of
2700 rpm. Maximum torque is 164 Nm (121 lb-ft) achieved at 2000 rpm.
Alternative engine options include the Kubota 2.5L LPG engine producing 44.0 kW
(59.0 hp) at 2700 rpm with 178 Nm (131 lb-ft) of torque at 1000 rpm. Earlier
models may feature a Mazda F2 2.2L engine producing 50 hp at 2500 rpm with 156
Nm (115 lb-ft) of torque at 1800 rpm. The Kubota 2.4L Tier 4 Final turbo diesel
engine is also available for diesel variants. The fuel tank capacity is 52.8 L
(13.9 gal).
Lubrication and Cooling: The system is designed to support continuous operation
in demanding conditions. The engine employs a forced lubrication system with
full-flow filtration to protect internal components. The cooling system features
an anti-clog radiator designed for efficient heat dissipation. The anti-clog
radiator is engineered to maintain optimal operating temperatures during
extended use while resisting debris accumulation.
Transmission: The H40FT is equipped with multiple
transmission options. The standard model features an electronic powershift
transmission with electronic inching and electronic shift control using the
MONOTROL pedal. The MONOTROL pedal allows operators to control direction and
acceleration with a single pedal, reducing operator fatigue and improving
productivity. The Advance model may be equipped with the electronically
controlled DuraMatch 1-speed transmission. The transmission features one forward
gear and one reverse gear.
Travel Speed: The forklift achieves a maximum travel speed of 18.0 km/h (11.2
mph) when fully laden and 18.2 km/h (11.3 mph) when unladen. Alternative travel
speeds of 17.9 km/h (11.1 mph) laden and 18.0 km/h (11.2 mph) unladen for
Advance models.
Axles and Brakes: The truck uses a drive axle configuration with two driven
wheels on the front (2x2). The service brake system is hydraulic with foot
control. The parking brake is mechanical with hand control. The brake type is
drum, with drive axle dry brakes having a fluid capacity of 6.5 L.
The electrical system operates at 12 V with a
maintenance-free battery rated at 475 cold cranking amps. The system is
responsible for starting the LPG engine and powering all lights and operator
interface components. The system features moisture-resistant electrical
connectors for durability. CANbus communications network integration allows for
comprehensive monitoring and control.
The Hyster H40FT is fitted with pneumatic tires,
designed for traction and comfort on various indoor and outdoor surfaces. It has
four wheels in total, with the front two being the driven wheels. The front tire
size is 7.00x12-12 (178 mm x 305 mm). The rear tire size is 6.00x9 (152 mm x 229
mm). The front tread width measures 965 mm (38.0 in). The rear tread width is
967 mm (38.1 in). The body and frame are constructed of fully welded heavy gauge
steel for durability. A rubber floor mat is standard equipment.
The Hyster H40FT features hydrostatic power steering with an adjustable steer
column for operator comfort. The steering system is designed for precise control
with minimal effort. The double acting steer cylinder ensures precise and direct
steering. The mast and fork carriage can tilt forward by 6 degrees and backward
by 10 degrees to facilitate load handling and secure transport.
The hydraulic system is a core component for lift and
tilt operations. The auxiliary hydraulic pressure relief for attachments is 2250
psi (15.5 MPa). Cowl-mounted hydraulic control levers are standard for
convenient operation. A safety valve provides extra safety and prevents
uncontrolled lowering of the load at all times. The hydraulic tank capacity is
45.8 L (12.1 gal) for drain and refill.
The Hyster H40FT is equipped with lifting systems
available in 2-stage and 3-stage configurations. With the mast fully lowered,
the height to the top of the mast is 2170 mm (86.0 in). The free lift for
standard 2-stage limited free lift mast is 140 mm (5 in). Optional full free
lift masts offer 1565 mm (61 in) of free lift.
The maximum lift height for the standard configuration is 3292 mm (129 in), at
which point the mast extends to a total height of 3715 mm (147 in) including the
load backrest. Triplex mast configurations offer lift heights up to 4750 mm (187
in) with lowered heights of 2134 mm (84 in).
The fork carriage is ISO 2328 class II A and has a width of 1067 mm (42.0 in).
The standard forks have dimensions of 40 mm (1.6 in) thick, 100 mm (3.9 in)
wide, and 1067 mm (42 in) long. Fork spread outside dimensions are 1099 mm (43.3
in).

The lift speed for the 1814 kg (4000 lb) rated load is
0.62 m/s (122 ft/min) when laden and 0.64 m/s (126 ft/min) when unladen for
standard 2-stage masts. Optional 2-stage full free lift masts provide 0.54 m/s
(106 ft/min) laden and 0.57 m/s (112 ft/min) unladen. Optional 3-stage full free
lift masts provide 0.58 m/s (114 ft/min) laden and 0.61 m/s (120 ft/min)
unladen.
Lowering speed is controlled at 0.58 m/s (114
ft/min) for laden and 0.50 m/s (98 ft/min) for unladen conditions on
standard 2-stage masts. The maximum drawbar pull at 1 mph is 2350 kg
(5180 lb) for a laden truck and 1050 kg (2315 lb) for an unladen truck.
The gradeability at 1 mph is 38% with load and 32% without load.

mm (15.0 in). The seat height relating to SIP is 1061 mm (41.8 in). The coupling
height for towing is 365 mm (14.4 in). Ground clearance minimum below the mast
unladen is 132 mm (5.2 in), subtracting 6 mm when laden. At the centre of the
wheelbase, ground clearance is 160 mm (6.3 in).
For maneuvering in aisles, the right-angle stacking aisle width for pallets (add
load length) is 2619 mm (103.1 in). The 90-degree intersecting aisle width is
1987 mm (79.5 in). The outer turning radius is 2149 mm (84.6 in). The total
