Hyster S70FT Specifications

Basic Information

The Hyster S70FT is an LPG or dual fuel-powered forklift that delivers a compelling balance of power, efficiency, and versatility for material handling operations. Its core strength lies in the proven PSI 2.4L or Kubota 2.5L engines, providing dependable torque and reliability for continuous use. The machine rolls on cushion tires, offering excellent stability and maneuverability on smooth indoor surfaces.

Operator comfort and safety are prioritized through features like hydrostatic power steering, an infinitely adjustable steer column, and the Hyster Stability System (HSS). The S70FT is equipped with an electronic powershift transmission featuring a single pedal inch brake and is designed for productive operation across various applications with low operating costs.

This model is equipped with a standard 2-stage limited free lift VISTA PLUS mast, with optional 2-stage or 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 15.8 in (402 mm). The wheelbase is 56.3 in (1,430 mm). The total unladen weight of the standard truck is 10,535 lb (4,779 kg) for the 2-stage LFL configuration.

When fully laden, the axle load distribution places 15,221 lb (6,904 kg) on the front axle and 2,314 lb (1,050 kg) on the rear axle. In an unladen state, the front axle load approximately 3,269 lb (1,483 kg), and the rear axle load 7,266 lb (3,296 kg). The overhead guard height is 84.0 in (2,128 mm). The step height is 13.8 in (350 mm).

Engine Specs

The Hyster S70FT offers a choice of two robust engine options to suit different application requirements. The LPG engine is the PSI 2.4L, a robust and reliable powerplant specifically designed for industrial operation. It is a four-cylinder engine with a total displacement of 143 cu.in (2,343 cc). This engine produces a rated power of 59 hp (44 kW) at 2,700 rpm, with peak torque of 121 lb-ft (164 Nm) at 2,000 rpm. The fuel tank capacity for LPG is 10.7 gal (40.5 L).

The dual fuel engine option is the Kubota 2.5L, a four-cylinder engine with a displacement of 152 cu.in (2,491 cc). This engine produces a rated power of 59 hp (44 kW) at 2,500 rpm, with peak torque of 131 lb-ft (178 Nm) at 1,000 rpm. 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.

Drive Train

Transmission: It is fitted with a basic electronic powershift transmission with neutral start switch and anti-restart protection. Gear changes are controlled by a MONOTROL pedal, which integrates direction and speed control. A single pedal inch brake is standard.

Travel Speed: The forklift achieves a laden travel speed of 11.1 mph (17.8 km/h) and an unladen travel speed of 11.2 mph (18.0 km/h).

Axles: The drive axle is located at the front. The rear steer axle is robust with proven steer axle design.

Brakes: The service brake system is hydraulic with foot control. The parking brake is mechanical with hand control.

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 475 cold cranking amps. The system powers the starter motor, engine control systems, and all essential lighting components for safe operation. The Hyster Stability System (HSS) is integrated into the electrical architecture.

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 load stress. Wheels and Tires: The S70FT is fitted with cushion tires with 2 front and 2 rear wheels.

Front Tires: 21x9x15
Rear Tires: 16x7x10.5

Track Width:
Standard Tread Overall Width: 45.6 in (1,158 mm)
Wide Tread Overall Width: 48.9 in (1,242 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 S70FT 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 (15.4 MPa). The hydraulic tank capacity is 9.5 gal (36.1 L). The mast tilts forward by 5 degrees and backward by 5 degrees. A safety valve prevents uncontrolled lowering of the load.

Maintenance Data

250 Hours/6 Monthly maintenance includes changing engine oil with appropriate oil selection for temperature conditions, checking for wear and damage of drive belt, adjusting drive belt if needed, and checking LPG regulator for tar drain.

500 Hours/6 Monthly maintenance includes hydraulic oil change for S40-70FT models at 30.1 L (31.8 qt) or 39.8 L depending on configuration, inspecting and replacing hydraulic tank breather as required, and cleaning battery and cable terminals. Heavy-duty or high-temperature operations require more frequent checks, and hydraulic oil sampling and analysis is a recommended practice.

1000 Hours/6 Monthly maintenance includes adjusting valves as required (intake 0.15 mm cold, exhaust 0.35 mm cold for gas/LPG engines), adjusting timing as required (6° +1° BTDC Orange Mark), and changing LPG fuel filter for 2007 emission compliant engines.

2000 Hours/1 Yearly maintenance includes changing hydraulic oil filter, changing hydraulic tank breather, changing air filter, changing PCV valve, checking oxygen sensor indicator light, changing LPG fuel regulator filter and fuel filter for applicable engines, and checking fuel injectors.

4000 Hours/2 Yearly maintenance includes changing hydraulic oil, changing cooling system fluid at 11.0 L to 11.6 L depending on engine configuration, and inspecting and replacing hydraulic tank breather as required. Normal operating conditions may allow for less frequent oil sampling, but oil sampling should be done just prior to all oil and filter changes.
