Hyster H60FT Specifications

Basic Information

The Hyster H60FT is an LPG or diesel-powered, counterbalanced forklift truck manufactured from approximately 2019 to 2025. This sit-down rider model is engineered for demanding indoor and outdoor material handling tasks requiring a rated load capacity of 6000 lb or 2722 kg. The machine is available with a PSI 2.4L LPG engine or a Kubota 2.5L diesel engine, with the diesel version meeting Tier 4 Final emission standards. The Fortens series features the durable powertrain controlled by the Pacesetter VSM electronic management system with a CANbus communications network.

The electronically controlled 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, extending brake and tyre life. The Hyster Stability System (HSS) enhances operational safety. Additional features include hydrostatic power steering, adjustable steer column, rubber floor mat, operator restraint system, anti-clog radiator, single pedal inch brake, and cowl-mounted hydraulic control levers.

The Hyster H60FT is a four-wheeled forklift with a load capacity of 6000 lb or 2722 kg at a 24.0 in or 610 mm load centre. The nominal load at the centre of gravity is 2.72 t. Its design prioritises stability and manoeuvrability in demanding environments. The machine is fitted with pneumatic tyres as standard, with optional superelastic or cushion configurations available. 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 electronic powershift with 1-speed forward and reverse, with optional 2-speed configurations available. The service weight of the truck without load is 9943 lb or 4510 kg, and with load is 15943 lb or 7232 kg. Weight distribution without load places 3865 lb or 1753 kg on the front axle and 6077 lb or 2756 kg on the rear axle. With load, weight distribution shifts to 13905 lb or 6307 kg on the front axle and 2038 lb or 924 kg on the rear axle.

Engine Specs

Basic Technical Data: The forklift is available with multiple engine options. The PSI 2.4L LPG engine produces 59 hp or 44 kW at 2700 rpm with peak torque of 121 lb-ft or 164 Nm at 2000 rpm, featuring a displacement of 2351 cc or 143 cu.in. The Kubota 2.5L diesel engine produces 59 hp or 44 kW at 2700 rpm with peak torque of 131 lb-ft or 18 kg/m at 1000 rpm, featuring a displacement of 2491 cc or 152 cu.in.

The diesel version meets Tier 4 Final emission standards. The LPG engine features dual fuel capability. The permanent output for both engines is 44 kW. The fuel tank capacity is 13.9 gal or 52.8 L for LPG models. Diesel fuel capacity is approximately 14 gal or 53 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 simplified wiring and hydraulics layout offers easy access to components, facilitating service times.

Cooling: Engine temperature is regulated by a liquid cooling system with an anti-clog radiator design. 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 radiator effectively manages engine coolant temperatures for extended periods.

Drive Train

Transmission: The Hyster H60FT is equipped with an electronically controlled powershift transmission featuring 1-speed forward and reverse as standard, with optional 2-speed configurations available. 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. Electronic inching and electronic shift control with MONOTROL pedal simplify operation.

Travel Speed: The forklift achieves a laden travel speed of 11.1 mph or 17.9 km/h and an unladen speed of 11.3 mph or 18.2 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 63.9 in or 1623 mm. The tread width for standard configuration is 46.7 in or 1186 mm overall width, with wide tread options of 52.0 in or 1321 mm.

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

Electrical System

The electrical system operates on a 12V architecture with a maintenance-free battery rated at 475 cold cranking amps. The Pacesetter VSM on-board industrial computer controls, protects and manages all powertrains, ensuring maximum uptime and dependability with fast and accurate trouble-shooting and first-time fixes.

The CANbus communications network enables reliable operation with reduced wiring complexity. The dash-mounted instrument display provides gauges and warning indicators. An operator restraint system is standard equipment.

Wheels and Tires

Wheel Drive: The Hyster H60FT 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 robust chassis design for enhanced durability.

Tires: This model is fitted with pneumatic tyres as standard. The front tyre size is 28x9-15 or 7.00x12-12. The rear tyre size is 6.50x10. Solid pneumatic tyres are available for yard applications. Cushion tyre configurations are also available for indoor use.

Steering: The steering system is hydrostatic power steering. The minimum outside turning radius is 89.6 in or 2277 mm. The adjustable steer column allows operators to easily obtain a comfortable driving position. The steering axle design ensures precise and direct steering control.

Hydraulic System

The hydraulic system is designed for efficient lifting and tilting operations. It operates at an auxiliary hydraulic pressure relief of 2250 psi or 15.5 MPa for attachments. The hydraulic tank capacity for drain and refill is 12.1 gal or 45.8 L. Cowl-mounted hydraulic control levers are standard equipment.

Mast Data
