Hyster H4.0-5.5FT Counterbalanced LPG and Diesel Forklift Truck Highlights:A robust chassis and high strength mast design optimises capacity retention at high lifts with excellent visibility and rigidityThe ECO-eLo Fuel Efficiency Mode reduces fuel consumption by up to 20% with limited effect on overall diesel truck productivity under application conditionsAvailable Load Sensing Hydraulics (LSH) increase productivity and lowers fuel consumption further reducing overall operating costsAll powertrains are controlled, protected and managed by the Pacesetter VSM™ industrial onboard computer featuring a CANbus communications network. This system permits adjustment of the truck’s performance, in addition to monitoring key functions, enabling quick, easy diagnostics, minimising repair downtime and unnecessary parts swappingChoose either Electronic Powershift, DuraMatch™, DuraMatch™ 2 or DuraMatch™ Plus2 transmissions:The standard Fortens model features 1 or 2 speed Electronic Powershift TransmissionsThe Fortens Advance models feature the DuraMatch™ or DuraMatch™ 2 transmissions which manages truck deceleration & direction changes, contributing to extending brake and tyre life and preventing transmission wear. DuraMatch™ 2 is the two speed optionThe Fortens Advance+ models feature the DuraMatch™ Plus2, a 2-speed Extended Function Transmission with Dynamic Auto Deceleration System, throttle response management and Auto Speed HydraulicAll Hyster H4.0-5.5FT diesel and LPG models feature oil immersed brakes contributing to reduced maintenance and extended truck dependabilityThe maintenance free Hyster Stability Mechanism (HSM™) enhances lateral stability without compromising uneven surface travelAn innovative operator compartment design offers easy driver access, excellent all-round visibility and conveniently located controls. To optimise driver comfort, the new FLM 80 full-suspension seat, together with the isolated powertrain have contributed to achieving a low whole body vibration (WBV) of 0.6ms2 and operator ear noise levels are lowComplete cowl-to-counterweight service access contributes to rapid, efficient maintenance. Simplified layout of wiring and hydraulics offers greater access to components, which decreases service time for unscheduled repairs and regular maintenanceHassle-Free hydraulic systems featuring Leak-free O-ring face seal fittings enhance reliability and non-mechanical, Hall-Effect sensors and switches are designed to outlast the life of the truck.To match the performance to the application there are a number of options including advanced hydraulic and cooling system options Models ModelModel DesignationLoad Capacity (kg)Load Centre (mm)Lift Height (mm)EngineTransmissionH4.0FT-5Fortens40005006000Kubota 3.6L DieselElectronic Powershift 1-speed / Electronic Powershift 2-speedH4.0FT-6Fortens40006006000Kubota 3.6L DieselElectronic Powershift 1-speed / Electronic Powershift 2-speedH4.5FTS-5Fortens45005005300Kubota 3.6L DieselElectronic Powershift 1-speed / Electronic Powershift 2-speedH4.5FT-6Fortens45006005300Kubota 3.6L DieselElectronic Powershift 1-speed / Electronic Powershift 2-speedH5.0FTFortens50006005300Kubota 3.6L DieselElectronic Powershift 1-speed / Electronic Powershift 2-speed H5.5FTFortens55006005300Kubota 3.6L DieselElectronic Powershift 1-speed / Electronic Powershift 2-speedH4.0FT-5Fortens Advance40005006000Kubota 3.6L Diesel / Kubota 3.8L Diesel / Kubota 3.8L LPGDuraMatch™ 1-speed / DuraMatch™2 2-speed H4.0FT-6Fortens Advance40006006000Kubota 3.6L Diesel / Kubota 3.8L Diesel / Kubota 3.8L LPGDuraMatch™ 1-speed / DuraMatch™2 2-speed H4.5FTS-5Fortens Advance45005005300Kubota 3.6L Diesel / Kubota 3.8L Diesel / Kubota 3.8L LPGDuraMatch™ 1-speed / DuraMatch™2 2-speedH4.5FT-6Fortens Advance45006005300Kubota 3.6L Diesel / Kubota 3.8L Diesel / Kubota 3.8L LPGDuraMatch™ 1-speed / DuraMatch™2 2-speed H5.0FTFortens Advance50006005300Kubota 3.6L Diesel / Kubota 3.8L Diesel / Kubota 3.8L LPGDuraMatch™ 1-speed / DuraMatch™2 2-speed H5.5FTFortens Advance55006005300Kubota 3.6L Diesel / Kubota 3.8L Diesel / Kubota 3.8L LPGDuraMatch™ 1-speed / DuraMatch™2 2-speed H4.0FT-5Fortens Advance +40005006000Kubota 3.8L Diesel / Kubota 3.8L LPGDuraMatch™2 2-speedH4.0FT-6Fortens Advance +40006006000Kubota 3.8L Diesel / Kubota 3.8L LPGDuraMatch™2 2-speedH4.5FTS-5Fortens Advance +45005005300Kubota 3.8L Diesel / Kubota 3.8L LPGDuraMatch™2 2-speedH4.5FT-6Fortens Advance +45006005300Kubota 3.8L Diesel / Kubota 3.8L LPGDuraMatch™2 2-speedH5.0FTFortens Advance +50006005300Kubota 3.8L Diesel / Kubota 3.8L LPGDuraMatch™2 2-speedH5.5FTFortens Advance +55006005300Kubota 3.8L Diesel / Kubota 3.8L LPGDuraMatch™2 2-speed Downloads H4.0-5.5FTSpecification SheetFortens RangeBrochure Gallery Click the button to complete a brief form.
