Hyster S50CT Specifications

Basic Information

The Hyster S50CT is a versatile, rider-seated forklift built to handle loads up to 2268 kg (5000 lb) with a 610 mm (24 in) load centre. Powered by a 2.4 L, 4-cylinder PSI engine operating on LPG, it delivers 33 kW (44 hp) at 2600 rpm and torque of 160 Nm (118 lb-ft) at 1200 rpm. The truck is distinguished by its sturdy construction, reliable powershift transmission with single pedal control, and a focus on operator safety and efficiency with features like hydrostatic power steering, a 3-function hydraulic control valve with optional integral sideshifter, and the Hyster Stability System (HSS).

Fitted with cushion tyres, it is well-suited for improved indoor surfaces. With a laden travel speed of 18.2 km/h (11.3 mph) and a gradeability of 30 percent, it provides efficient performance in distribution, manufacturing, and warehousing applications. The Hyster S50CT incorporates advanced features including the Operator Presence System (OPS), single pedal inch brake, and a 300 mm (12 in) steering wheel with spinner knob for enhanced maneuverability.
