Hyster H60XT Specifications

Basic Information

The Hyster H60XT is a 2.7-tonne (6,000 lb) capacity, LPG-powered, seated rider forklift, engineered for reliable performance in demanding material handling applications. As a core model in Hyster's XT series, this forklift is designed for versatility in industries such as warehousing, distribution, manufacturing, and logistics. Powered by the advanced PSI 2.4L engine, it delivers responsive power and efficient operation.

Its robust construction, pneumatic tires, and choice of 2-stage or 3-stage VISTA masts ensure productive, safe, and efficient operation. Operator comfort and safety features, including the Hyster Stability System (HSS), electronic powershift transmission with MONOTROL pedal, and adjustable steer column, contribute to exceptional handling confidence and reduced operator fatigue.

The Hyster H60XT is a counterbalanced pneumatic tire forklift truck designed for versatility and safety. It operates on LPG (dual fuel capability) and is controlled by a seated operator. Its rated load capacity is 2722 kg (6000 lb) at a 610 mm (24 in) load centre. The load distance from the drive axle centre to the fork face measures 483 mm (19 in), and the truck has a wheelbase of 1700 mm (66.9 in).

The service weight of the truck when unladen with standard 2-stage mast is 4671 kg (10300 lb). When fully laden, the axle loading on the front axle is 6378 kg (14064 lb) and on the rear axle is 1012 kg (2232 lb). When unladen, these figures shift to 1908 kg (4207 lb) on the front and 2761 kg (6089 lb) on the rear.

Engine Specs

Basic Technical Data: The main component of the Hyster H60XT is the PSI 2.4L engine, a four-cylinder LPG unit with electronic fuel management. It has a total displacement of 2.3 L (143 cu.in). The engine is rated to produce 46 kW (62 hp) at a rated speed of 2700 rpm. Maximum torque is 168 Nm (124 lb-ft) achieved at 1600 rpm. Alternative engine configurations include the Kubota WG2503 in some model years, producing similar power output. The fuel tank capacity is 69 L (18.2 gal) for LPG and dual fuel units.

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 aluminum core, anti-clog radiator designed for efficient heat dissipation during extended use. The radiator is engineered to maintain optimal operating temperatures while resisting debris accumulation.

Drive Train

Transmission: The H60XT is equipped with an electronic powershift transmission featuring MONOTROL pedal directional control. This 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. The transmission is controlled and managed by the vehicle's electronic management system.

Travel Speed: The forklift achieves a maximum travel speed of 19.8 km/h (12.3 mph) when fully laden and 20.0 km/h (12.4 mph) when unladen with the powershift transmission.

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 hand control. The brake system is designed for durability in demanding applications.

Electrical System

The electrical system operates at 12 V with a maintenance-free battery rated at 475 cold cranking amps. The alternator output is 65 A in some configurations. The system is responsible for starting the LPG engine and powering all lights and operator interface components. An integrated dashboard display provides comprehensive monitoring of truck functions.

Wheels and Tires

The Hyster H60XT 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 28x9-15 (711 mm x 229 mm x 381 mm). The rear tire size is 6.50x10 (165 mm x 254 mm). The front tread width with standard tread is 1191 mm (46.9 in), with wide tread of 1326 mm (52.2 in) available. The body and frame are constructed of fully welded heavy gauge steel for durability. Integral tie downs are standard for secure transport. A rubber floor mat is standard equipment.

The Hyster H60XT 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 6 degrees to facilitate load handling and secure transport.

Hydraulic System

The hydraulic system is a core component for lift and tilt operations. The auxiliary hydraulic pressure relief for attachments is 2550 psi (17.6 MPa). A 3-function hydraulic control valve is standard, with cowl-mounted mechanical hydraulic control levers for convenient operation. The hydraulic tank capacity is 42 L (11.1 gal) for drain and refill. A safety valve provides extra safety and prevents uncontrolled lowering of the load at all times.

Mast Data

The Hyster H60XT 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 2245 mm (89 in). The free lift for standard 2-stage limited free lift mast is 140 mm (5 in). Optional full free lift masts offer 1490 mm (58 in) of free lift.

The maximum lift height for the standard configuration is 3209 mm (126 in), at which point the mast extends to a total height of 4330 mm (175 in) including the load backrest. Triplex mast configurations offer lift heights up to 4750 mm (187 in) or higher with lowered heights of 2260 mm (89 in). The 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. The 2-stage limited free-lift VISTA PLUS mast provides excellent all-round visibility.

Load Capacity

Load Capacity: 6,000 lb (2,722 kg)

Performance Data

The lift speed for the 2722 kg (6000 lb) rated load is 0.57 m/s (112 ft/min) when laden and 0.60 m/s (118 ft/min) when unladen for standard 2-stage masts. Optional 3-stage full free lift masts provide 0.54 m/s (106 ft/min) laden and 0.57 m/s (112 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 is 2013 kg (4438 lb) for a laden truck and 1149 kg (2534 lb) for an unladen truck. Drawbar pull at 1.0 mph is 1720 kg (3792 lb) laden and 1149 kg (2534 lb) unladen. The maximum gradeability is 23.5% with load and 27.6% without load.

Dimensions and Weight

The overall length of the truck from the front face of the backrest to the fork face is 2701 mm (106.3 in). The overall width with standard tread is 1191 mm (46.9 in), with wide tread of 1326 mm (52.2 in).

The height of the standard overhead guard is 2250 mm (88.6 in), with an optional height of 2150 mm (84.6 in). The step height from ground to running board is 435 mm (17.1 in). The seat height is not detailed in the provided source material. Ground clearance minimum below the mast unladen is 104 mm (4.1 in), subtracting 6 mm when laden. At the centre of the wheelbase, ground clearance is 210 mm (8.3 in).

For maneuvering in aisles, the right-angle stacking aisle width (add length of load) is 2802 mm (110.3 in). The 90-degree intersecting aisle width is 2108 mm (83 in). The outer turning radius is 2324 mm (91.5 in). The total operating weight of the truck with standard 2-stage mast is 4671 kg (10300 lb).
