H620HD Hyster Rough Terrain Forklift Specs & Dimensions (2019 - 2026)

Robust Hydraulic System

Leak-free o-ring face seal fittings are used throughout the truck for enhanced reliability. Smart placement of the control valve and hose routing away from heat sources reduces operating temperature, extending the life of seals and hoses for enhanced reliability.

Auto-Shifting Transmission with True Inching

This truck series is equipped with ZF transmissions paired with Cummins engines to provide inching capability and better controllability. The auto-shift transmissions enable smooth shifts that enhance the longevity of the drivetrain and operator comfort by reducing jolt. Competitor trucks utilize declutch which increases clutch energies on the transmission and creates wear and tear on driveline components.

High Capacity Cooling System

High capacity cooling system is designed for high ambient temperature conditions up to 113° F (45° C). Puller fan enables the cooling system to operate more efficiently by drawing cool, clean air from above through the radiator. On-demand hydraulics reduces heat load into the truck by pumping oil only when needed. The drivetrain runs cooler, thereby extending the hydraulic oil and component life. Components last longer with cooler fluid temperatures.

Heavy Duty Steer and Drive Axles

Hyster steer axles are designed for longer life with a linkage design enabling six turns lock to lock. Hyster has collaborated with AxleTech to provide heavy duty drive axles with wet disc brakes to provide long life. The sturdy design enables longer service intervals on wearable service components.

On-Demand Cooling (Tier 4)

A proportional, viscous cooling fan draws power only when cooling is required between 10% and 100% of the engine speed, unlike direct drive fans which draw high levels of power at all times. Reduces accessory loads on the powertrain, consumes less fuel and lowers noise levels.

On-Demand Hydraulics

The Hyster on-demand, load-sensing hydraulic system is developed in collaboration with Sauer Danfoss to deliver flow only when required. A variable displacement pump, capable of more oil displacement even at low pump speeds, means the engine runs at lower speeds, extending the life of components while operating more quietly. The system consumes up to 10% less fuel than a typical fixed displacement hydraulic system while producing less heat. Oil and filters last longer; hoses, seals and components also wear less and last longer.

Ease of Service

Hyster trucks have been designed with the service technician in mind. Gull-wing hoods provide quick access to key components, and daily checks don’t require tilting the cab. A tilting cab provides easy access to hydraulic components in seconds. Broad, slip-resistant running boards foster quick daily checks, while a large access bay enables easy radiator cleaning. A hydraulic sight gauge enables at-a-glance fluid level checks.

Longer Service Intervals

Major engine and drivetrain components are engineered to operate on 500-hour service intervals. Extended hydraulic oil change intervals of 200 hours ensure that the truck remains in operation with longer time between oil changes or servicing.

Cooling System

Designed for heavy duty cooling applications requiring additional cooling capacity. Cooling cores are packaged such that cool air (not pre-heated air) is channeled across cores. Quad-core radiator features four separate cooler cores. Cool overhead air is drawn in for more efficient cooling than in stacked radiator configurations. Louvered cooling fins for maximum air flow to radiator. Hinged hood pivots at wide angles to provide easy access to cooling system. Ample space in front of cooler cores enables effective maneuvering of service tools and equipment during service checks. Easy to clean since coolers are not stacked in front of each other.

Heavy Duty Masts & Carriages

The Hyster H550-700HD/S forklift, exceptionally suited for tough applications, has been engineered for long load centers, wide loads and heavy duty-cycle conditions. Coil rams, both integral and hook carriage mounted, are available in a number of configurations for steel industry and port applications. The mast, with robust mast channels, rollers, stub shafts and chain anchors, is designed to excel in heavy duty applications. The sturdy mast design for this truck series enables less mast deflections while offering a number of single and 2-stage mast options for a wide variety of applications in multiple industries. Greaseable load rollers with tapered roller bearings ensure the front end provides years of dependable performance. Carriages are designed to have minimal capacity derate on sideshifting carriages, enabling the truck to provide close to full rated capacity under all operating conditions.

Coil Ram Options

Hyster is committed to providing tailored solutions for unique customer applications. The H550-700HD/S series can be ordered with coil rams for steel applications. Configurations include integral, pin carriage or hook carriage mounted rams. Quick connect pin or hook carriage mounted rams are designed for dual use as a forklift truck or as a coil ram thus maximizing asset utilization for our customers.

Carriage & Fork Options

Different applications require different tools — customize your truck with five available carriage and fork options on the H550-700HD/S truck series.

More Value, Less Cost

Hyster understands that your total cost of ownership extends beyond the initial acquisition costs. Hyster has teamed with leading quality suppliers to provide well-integrated systems that help reduce your overall cost of operations over the useful life of the truck.

Lower Fuel Consumption

Fuel consumption is a key driver of the total cost of ownership for high capacity lift trucks. Hyster provides a truck with superior fuel consumption characteristics compared to similarly sized trucks offered by the competition. The engine design produces more power and torque using XPI high-pressure common rail fuel injection and variable geometry turbochargers. Advanced controls enable the Cummins 6.7L QSB engine to provide peak performance and operating efficiency while delivering great fuel economy and durability.

Automatic Throttle-Up (Tier 4 Only)

Automatic throttle-up, available on Hyster H550-700HD/S Tier 4 Final trucks, provides automatic response to lift inputs from the operator when the lift lever is activated. A single-touch lever or joystick-controlled rev-up keeps the engine in the most efficient band, delivering good fuel economy. Given the improved operator ergonomics, this feature enhances productivity. The automatic throttle-up feature applies only when the truck is in neutral.

Empty Seat Engine Shutdown (Optional)

This feature reduces fuel consumption by shutting down the truck when the operator is out of the seat for extended periods of time, thus limiting idle hours on the truck. Empty seat engine shutdown is programmable to activate within a 3-15 minute window after an operator leaves the seat. Factory preset to 15 minutes, the setting is easily adjustable by the customer with minimal tools, lowering the total cost of ownership over the useful life of the truck.

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.

Cab comfort & visibility

A low profile carriage enables a clear line of vision for an optimized view of fork tips. Forward visibility is uncluttered by the position of hydraulic valves, hoses or mast cross-members with a clear view through the mast window. Canted hoses are arranged along the line of sight so the operator sees only one hose and has good visibility. Rear and side visibility are not impeded by structural elements of the truck. There are no front posts in the corners, which enhances operator's visibility. A curved tempered glass windshield provides an uninterrupted front end view. Likewise, a curved rear windshield provides excellent rearward visibility over the operator's left and right shoulders.

Low noise – operator & environment

With minimal noise at the operator's ear (73 dB(A) BITA) cabin interior noise ranks among the lowest in the industry, which enhances operator alertness and productivity.

Outstanding all-around visibility

As in all Hyster big trucks, operator controls are conveniently placed within a spacious cab for maximum comfort to increase operator productivity. Mini-levers or joysticks and switches are integrated into the armrest for smooth controlled actuation of mast and attachment functions. The armrest moves with the seat to maintain the driver's control, even when driving over uneven surfaces. On the exterior, the sloping counterweight enhances visibility of steer tires for defensive maneuvering and reduced tire gouging. Quiet operation is enhanced by lower engine speeds due to on-demand hydraulics and curved tempered glass properties. A fully adjustable steering column and seat comes standard for all H550-700HD/S trucks.
