Hyster S135FT Specifications

Basic Information

The Hyster S135FT is an LPG or diesel-powered forklift that delivers exceptional power, durability, and efficiency for heavy-duty operations. Its core strength lies in the proven Kubota 3.8L engine options, providing dependable torque and reliability for continuous use, meeting EPA/CARB and Tier 4 Final emission levels. The durable powertrain is computer controlled and managed by an electronic management system.

Operator comfort and safety are prioritized through features like hydrostatic power steering, an infinitely adjustable steer column, and the Hyster Stability System (HSS). The S135FT is equipped with an electronic powershift transmission with 2 forward and 2 reverse gears as standard, with an optional DuraMatch transmission featuring 3 forward and 2 reverse gears.

This transmission includes the Auto Deceleration System, controlled rollback on ramps, and controlled power reversals to move loads more efficiently with less operator fatigue and product damage. The truck is designed for decreased downtime and low cost of operation, with features like the Kubota 3.8L DOC engine providing maintenance-free emissions with no need to add fluids or remove filters for cleaning.

This model is equipped with a standard 2-stage limited free-lift (LFL) VISTA mast, with optional 3-stage full free lift masts available depending on application requirements. It rolls on cushion tires. The distance from the centre of the drive axle to the fork face is 19.6 in (498 mm). The wheelbase is 72.0 in (1,830 mm). The total unladen weight of the standard truck is 19,200 lb (8,709 kg) for the 2-stage LFL configuration.

When fully laden, the axle load distribution places 29,520 lb (13,390 kg) on the front axle and 3,180 lb (1,442 kg) on the rear axle. In an unladen state, the front axle load 7,860 lb (3,565 kg), and the rear axle load 11,340 lb (5,144 kg). The overhead guard height is 91.0 in (2,302 mm) with the tall option, and 88.0 in (2,235 mm) with the short option. The step height is 20.9 in (531 mm).

Engine Specs

The Hyster S135FT offers a choice of two robust engine options to suit different application requirements. The LPG engine is the Kubota 3.8L, a robust and reliable powerplant specifically designed for industrial operation. It is a four-cylinder engine with a total displacement of 230 cu.in (3,769 cc). This engine produces a rated power of 91 hp (68 kW) at 2,400 rpm, with peak torque of 221 lb-ft (300 Nm) at 1,000 rpm. The forklift can equipped with a PSI 4.3L V-6 engine option with 96.6 to 103.3 hp output.

The diesel engine option is the Kubota 3.8L turbo diesel, a four-cylinder engine meeting Tier 4 Final emission levels with a Diesel Oxidation Catalyst (DOC) that captures and oxidizes particulate matter (soot). It has a displacement of 230 cu.in (3,769 cc). This engine produces a rated power of 74 hp (55 kW) at 2,200 rpm, with peak torque of 227 lb-ft (309 Nm) at 1,400 rpm. Cast ductile iron steer axle provides maximum durability and superior steering control. The fuel tank capacity for diesel units is 17.4 gal (65.8 L).

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, with an optional on-demand cooling system that reduces overheating and automatically reverses fan direction every 20 minutes to clear radiator of debris.

Drive Train

Transmission: It is fitted with an electronic powershift transmission as standard, with 2 forward and 2 reverse gears. An optional DuraMatch transmission provides 3 forward and 2 reverse gears with state-of-the-art, strong clutch packs that provide longer life. Strong transmission gears and shafts contribute to decreased downtime. Features include hydraulic inching and electronic shift control, along with the Auto Deceleration System which automatically slows the truck when the accelerator pedal is released, extending brake life. Controlled power reversal feature virtually eliminates tire spin, thereby increasing tire life.

Travel Speed: The forklift achieves a laden travel speed of 12.4 mph (20.0 km/h) and an unladen travel speed of 12.9 mph (20.7 km/h). With the 3-speed forward transmission, laden speed is 12.6 mph (20.2 km/h) and unladen speed is 13.0 mph (20.8 km/h).

Axles: The drive axle is located at the front. The rear steer axle is robust with cast ductile iron construction for maximum durability and superior steering control.

Brakes: The service brake system is hydraulic with foot control. The parking brake is mechanical with hand control. The truck features strong transmission gears and shafts for reliable operation.

Electrical System

The electrical system is engineered to reliably support the engine, safety features, and lighting. It operates on a standard 12-volt architecture with a maintenance-free battery rated at 900 cold cranking amps. The Pacesetter VSM industrial on-board computer enables you to adjust and optimize the performance.

The system powers the starter motor, engine control systems, and all essential lighting components for safe operation. The advanced dash display uses a non-reflective, backlit LCD screen. The Hyster Stability System (HSS) is integrated into the electrical architecture. Optional Hyster Variable Power Technology provides adjustable performance modes that allow customers to maximize productivity or fuel economy.

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 heavy load stress. The ergonomically designed operator compartment enhances overall comfort and productivity with low noise level at operator ear lessening driver fatigue and an isolated drivetrain minimizing the effect of powertrain vibration and road-born shocks. The unique grid-style overhead guard pattern improves visibility while protecting operators and strengthening the truck's structure. The front, curved leg design provides greater shoulder clearance for easier operator entry and exit.

Wheels and Tires: The S135FT is fitted with cushion tires with 2 front and 2 rear wheels.
Front Tires: 28x12x22
Rear Tires: 22x12x16
Overall Width: 56.6 in (1,438 mm)

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 S135FT is a hydrostatic power steering system that provides smooth and effortless control during low-speed maneuvering and in confined spaces. An infinitely adjustable steer column enhances operator comfort.

Hydraulic System

The hydraulic system is responsible for powering the lifting, tilting, and any auxiliary functions. The system is equipped with a 3-function hydraulic control valve. The auxiliary hydraulic pressure relief for attachments is 2,250 psi (15.5 MPa). The hydraulic tank capacity is 19.8 gal (75.0 L). The mast tilts forward by 6 degrees and backward by 10 degrees. A safety valve prevents uncontrolled lowering of the load.
