Basic Technical Data: The forklift is powered by the
PSI 2.0L LPG engine producing 44 hp or 33 kW at 2400 rpm with peak torque of 100
lb-ft or 13.9 kg/m at 1300 rpm. The engine displacement is 1997 cc or 122 cu.in
with 4 cylinders. The engine utilizes the latest E-controls fuel system with an
electronically controlled regulator for greater fuel efficiency and improved
emissions. Hyster Variable Power Technology provides adjustable performance
modes that maximize productivity or fuel economy to fit specific application
requirements. Coil-over-plug ignition eliminates spark plug wires. A 2007 model
features the Mazda FE-Z25G 4-cylinder 2.0 L LPG engine as an alternative
configuration. The fuel tank capacity for non-LP units only is 10.2 gal or 38.8
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. Leak-free O-ring face seal fittings at connection points and a
superior filtration system take the worry out of hydraulics.
Cooling: Engine temperature is regulated by a liquid cooling system. 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. CANbus communications,
non-mechanical sensors and switches, and sealed connections minimize electrical
problems.
Transmission: The Hyster S40FTS is equipped with an
electronically controlled powershift transmission featuring 1 speed forward and
1 speed reverse as standard. The MONOTROL pedal allows the operator to control

provide enhanced safety during startup operations.
Travel Speed: The forklift achieves a laden travel speed of 10.6 mph or 17.1
km/h and an unladen speed of 10.7 mph or 17.3 km/h. The Auto Deceleration System
automatically slows the truck when the accelerator pedal is released,
significantly extending brake and tyre life.
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, which is crucial for
stability. The wheelbase measures 54.5 in or 1385 mm. The tread width for
standard configuration is 38.8 in or 986 mm overall width, with wide tread
options of 42.7 in or 1084 mm. The step height is 19.1 in or 485 mm.

mechanical type. The Auto Deceleration System contributes to extending brake
life.
The electrical system operates on a 12 V architecture
with a maintenance-free battery rated at 440 cold cranking amps. The CANbus
communications network minimizes electrical problems through reliable operation
with reduced wiring complexity, non-mechanical sensors and switches, and sealed
connections. The dash-mounted instrument display provides gauges and warning
indicators. The Hyster Stability System (HSS) enhances operational safety by
monitoring and controlling mast and rear axle movements.
Wheel Drive: The Hyster S40FTS features a 2-wheel drive
configuration, with the front wheels providing the tractive effort (2x/2
configuration).
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. Rubber floor
mat is standard equipment.
