Hyster H50CT Specifications
The Hyster H50CT is a 2.3-tonne (5,000 lb) capacity,
internal combustion forklift, engineered as a cost-effective and reliable
solution for moderate-duty material handling applications. Designed for
versatility, it is suitable for use in agricultural, general warehousing and
distribution, beverage bottling, light manufacturing, and retail environments.
Available with either LPG or diesel power, it balances fuel efficiency with the
durability and toughness expected from Hyster.
The H50CT features a streamlined design with sealed electrical connectors and
O-ring face seal fittings for enhanced reliability. Operator comfort and
productivity are supported by its ergonomic design, electronically controlled
Powershift transmission for smooth direction changes, and an optional integral
sideshifter for precise load positioning.
The Hyster H50CT is a counterbalanced pneumatic tire forklift truck designed for
cost-effective versatility and safety. It operates on LPG or diesel and is
controlled by a seated operator. Its rated load capacity is 2268 kg (5000 lb) at
a 610 mm (24 in) load centre. The load distance from the drive axle centre to
the fork face measures 388 mm (15.3 in).
The truck has a wheelbase of 1623 mm (63.9 in). The service weight of the truck
when unladen with standard equipment is 3675 kg (8102 lb). When fully laden, the
axle loading on the front axle is 5279 kg (11638 lb) and on the rear axle is 664
kg (1464 lb). When unladen, these figures shift to 1630 kg (3593 lb) on the
front and 2045 kg (4508 lb) on the rear.
Basic Technical Data: The main component of the Hyster
H50CT is available with multiple engine options to suit various application
requirements. The LPG version utilizes a PSI 2.4L engine, a four-cylinder unit.
It has a total displacement of 2.3 L (143 cu.in). The engine is rated to produce
44 kW (59 hp) at a rated speed of 2700 rpm. Maximum torque is 160 Nm (118 lb-ft)
achieved at 1200 rpm.
An alternative diesel engine option is the Yanmar 2.6L, a four-cylinder unit
with a displacement of 2.6 L (162 cu.in). This engine is rated to produce 29 kW
(39 hp) at a rated speed of 2400 rpm, with a maximum torque of 146 Nm (108
lb-ft) at 1400 rpm. Older models may feature a Mazda 2.2L engine producing 48 hp
at 2550 rpm.
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. Liquid cooling is
maintained by a belt-driven centrifugal water pump and a radiator designed for
efficient heat dissipation. The cooling system is engineered to maintain optimal
operating temperatures during extended use.
Transmission: The H50CT is equipped with a single-speed
electronic powershift transmission featuring a torque converter. The
transmission allows for smooth direction changes without clutching, enhancing
operator efficiency and reducing fatigue. It features one forward gear and one
reverse gear for simple, intuitive control. A forward/reverse direction lever is
provided for operator control. The transmission is controlled and managed by the
vehicle's electronic management system.
Travel Speed:The forklift achieves a maximum travel speed of 19.0 km/h (11.8
mph) when unladen and 18.7 km/h (11.6 mph) when fully laden.
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, providing reliable stopping power. The parking brake is mechanical with
manual hand control. The brake system is designed for durability in demanding
applications. The H50CT features a single pedal inch brake for precise control
during maneuvering.
The electrical system operates at 12 V with a
maintenance-free battery rated at 475 cold cranking amps for gas engines and 700
for diesel engines. The system features sealed electrical connectors to O-ring
face seal fittings on the truck chassis for enhanced reliability in harsh
environments.
The system is responsible for starting the
engine and powering all lights and operator interface components. The
H50CT is equipped with an Operator Presence System (OPS) as a safety
feature.
The Hyster H50CT is fitted with cushion tires, designed
for traction and durability on smooth indoor surfaces. It has four wheels in
total, with the front two being the driven wheels. The front tire size is
6.50x10-10 (165 mmx254 mm). The rear tire size is 5.00x8 (127 mmx203 mm). The
front tread width is 970 mm (38.2 in) and the rear tread width is 968 mm (38.1
in). The body and frame are constructed of fully welded heavy gauge steel for
durability. The truck features a 12-inch steering wheel with a wheel spinner
knob for easy maneuvering.
The Hyster H50CT features hydrostatic power steering with an adjustable steering
column for operator comfort. The steering system is designed for precise control
with minimal effort, particularly useful during low-speed maneuvering in tight
spaces. The mast and fork carriage can tilt forward by 5 degrees and backward by
5 degrees to facilitate load handling and secure transport.
The hydraulic system is a core component for lift and
tilt operations. The auxiliary hydraulic working pressure for attachments is 159
bar (2306 psi). An optional 38.5-inch wide integral sideshifter allows loads to
be optimally positioned, and the responsive electronically-controlled inching
adjustments give the operator better control of load positioning. A safety valve
provides extra safety and prevents uncontrolled lowering of the load at all
times. The hydraulic reservoir capacity is 29.9 L (7.9 gal) for drain and
refill.
The Hyster H50CT is equipped with lifting systems
available in 2-stage and 3-stage configurations, including limited free lift and
full free lift options. With the mast fully lowered, the height to the top of
the mast is 2049 mm (81 in). The free lift for the 3-stage mast with load
backrest extension is 837 mm (32 in), and without load backrest is 1554 mm (61
in).
The maximum lift height for the standard 3-stage configuration is 4325 mm (170
in), at which point the mast extends to a total height of 5537 mm (218 in)
including the load backrest. With the load backrest removed, the extended height
is 4820 mm (190 in). The standard fork carriage width is 1067 mm (42 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 maximum between outer edges is 852 mm
(33.5 in) with a minimum between inner edges of 158 mm (6.2 in).
Load Capacity: 5,000 lb (2,268 kg)
Load Centre: 24 in (610 mm)
The lift speed for the 2268 kg (5000 lb) rated load is
0.65 m/s (128 ft/min) when unladen and 0.63 m/s (124 ft/min) when laden for
standard 2-stage masts. Optional 3-stage full free lift masts provide lift
speeds of 0.61 m/s (120 ft/min) unladen and 0.59 m/s (116 ft/min) laden.
Lowering speed for 3-stage masts is controlled at 0.42 m/s (83 ft/min) for
unladen and 0.49 m/s (96 ft/min) for laden conditions.
The maximum drawbar pull at 1.0 mph is 1471 kg (3243 lb) for a laden truck and
938 kg (2068 lb) for an unladen truck. The maximum gradeability is 27% without
load and 29% with load. Gradeability at 1.0 mph is 27% without load and 25% with
load.
The overall length from the front face of the backrest
to the fork face is 2491 mm (98.1 in). The overall width of the truck is 1160 mm
(45.7 in). The height of the standard overhead guard is 2149 mm (85 in). The
step height from ground to running board is 356 mm (14.0 in). The coupling
height for a pin-type trailer hitch is 330 mm (13.0 in). Ground clearance
minimum below the mast when laden is 98 mm (3.9 in). At the centre of the
wheelbase, ground clearance is 127 mm (5.0 in).
For maneuvering in aisles, the right-angle stacking aisle width (add length of
load) is 2624 mm (103.3 in). The 90-degree intersecting aisle width with a 1067
mm (42 in) wide by 1219 mm (48 in) long pallet is 2030 mm (79.9 in). The outer
turning radius is 2236 mm (88.0 in), and the inner turning radius is 103 mm (4.1
in). The total unladen weight of the standard truck is 3675 kg (8102 lb).
