S55FTS Hyster LPG Forklift Specs & Dimensions (2019 - 2026)

Superior Serviceability

Complete cowl-to-counterweight access, convenient daily service, the integral dashboard display’s onboard diagnostic capabilities, and reduced service requirements help to significantly reduce service times to maximize uptime.

Low-Effort Operation

Adjustable armrest that accompanies the TouchPoint e-hydraulic optional configurations moves with the seat and telescopes forward/vertical in one simple movement to provide greater flexibility in achieving a more custom position. Rear drive handle with horn button (optional) provides an excellent hand hold for reverse driving while giving ready access to the auxiliary horn button for use when approaching cross-aisles and pedestrian traffic areas. Brake pedal layout and the minimal braking requirements of the Auto Deceleration System significantly reduce operator fatigue. 12-inch steering wheel with spinner knob improves steering response, increasing control and efficiency while minimizing shoulder strain with only 4 turns lock-to-lock. An infinitely adjustable tilt steer column and optional full-suspension seat can be adjusted for almost any operator. Controlled rollback on ramps contributes to lower driver fatigue and significantly enhances truck and load control on ramps.

Performance Customized for Your Application

Hyster® Variable Power Technology™ provides adjustable performance modes that allow customers to maximize productivity or fuel economy to fit their specific application requirements. A choice of 2 high output engines, 2 performance transmissions, 2 hydraulic controls and 3 cooling system options allows you to customize your truck to optimize your productivity. Multiple industrial engine selections, the Kubota 2.5L LPG and the PSI 2.4L LPG or dual fuel, provide fuel efficiency so you can get more loads moved on a single tank. Pacesetter VSM onboard computer enables you to adjust and optimize the performance of your S40-70FT trucks. Patented DuraMatch™ transmissions provide breakthrough features that include the Auto Deceleration System, controlled rollback on ramps, and controlled power reversals to move loads more efficiently with less operator fatigue and product damage. Enhanced cooling system with optimized airflow stabilizes operating temperatures, allowing uninterrupted workflow and increasing uptime.

Superior Operator Control

Superior ergonomic features like ample foot and leg room, optional e-hydraulic controls, infinitely adjustable tilt steer column, integrated dashboard display, 12-inch steering wheel with spinner knob, enclosed cab (optional), Auto Deceleration System, EZXchange tank bracket (optional), 5 choices of seats and the reverse drive handle with integrated horn button (optional) enable your operator to maximize productivity. Optional return-to-set tilt has programmable set points for alignment of mast and forks and is extremely beneficial in applications where product damage can be caused by nonparallel stacking. The optional Hyster-designed integral sideshift provides excellent forward visibility and affords greater capacities than carriage mounted sideshifts. The Hyster exclusive MONOTROL® pedal provides for quicker, smoother control of travel speed and direction, helping improve operator efficiency and bolstering productivity.

Hyster Variable Power Technology

Hyster Variable Power Technology provides adjustable performance modes that allow customers to maximize productivity or fuel economy to fit their specific application requirements. With three selectable performance modes, the S40-70FT series can be tailored to achieve a balance of enhanced performance and superior fuel economy, or to maximize productivity during peak business periods when moving more loads is integral to the success of your operation.

Decrease Downtime by Up to 30%

Industrial lift truck downtime results from problems with the powertrain, electrical system, cooling system or hydraulic system. Advanced design of the Hyster® S40-70FT truck series has reduced downtime in these areas by up to 30%. When service is needed, easy access to major components can make service more efficient.

Significant Savings in Ownership Costs

The Hyster® S40-70FT series can offer significant annual savings in operating consumable costs, such as fuel efficiency, extended tire life, reduced brake wear and optimized service time, which can result in the lowest cost per load moved. This, combined with up to a 30% decrease in downtime, makes this lift truck series an exceptionally smart choice.

Ergonomics Can Lead to Savings

The Hyster® S40-70FT series reduces operator fatigue through superior operator comfort, intuitive handling, and easy entry and exit. A comfortable operator can lead to higher rates of productivity, and as a result, significant savings in operating costs and productivity improvements.

Enhanced Productivity

Productivity means moving more of your loads in less time with less cost. The development of the Hyster® S40-70FT series has focused on boosting performance to increase productivity and meet application requirements. This increased productivity can result in significant savings in materials handling costs through reduced operating expenses, labor costs and operator overtime and increased throughput.

Taking Materials Handling to a New Level

Hyster S40-70FT Fortis series trucks are built for superior performance so operators can trust them with heavy loads, long loads and all loads in-between.

Operator Training

Proper education in operating lift trucks minimizes the risk of injuries due to accidents while increasing productivity. Hyster offers OSHA-compliant materials that support the training of qualified operators.

Maximum Stability

Our patented Hyster Stability System (HSS®) is built into the fundamental design of every truck—not “added on” like other manufacturers—to allow for travel across various surfaces and to minimize truck lean for enhanced lateral stability. HSS® is a 100% maintenance-free design and its passive mechanical system uses gravity to optimize steer-axle geometry.

Performance At-A-Glance

Advanced dash display uses a non-reflective, backlit LCD screen, and 21 indicator lights provide performance at-a-glance. Easy-to-use onboard diagnostics through the advanced dash display provide fast troubleshooting for first-time fixes. Optional premium monitoring package reports air and hydraulic oil filter restrictions and low engine coolant levels.
