Ground clearance is 138.2 mm. Top speed is 20.6 km/h. Lifting capacity is 1,912 kg. The fuel is Gas. Maximum torque is reached at 1,800 rpm. Lift height is 3,230 mm. The engine fitted is the Mazda 2,0L. The Hyster Forklift series covers 293 models. Unladen weight within it ranges from 2,068 to 19,602.9 kg; the H40FTS Gas sits at the bottom of that range with 3,294 kg. Its immediate neighbours are the J40ZT (48V) below it with 3,289 kg and the E35Z (36V) above it with 3,303 kg. Lifting capacity within it ranges from 1,130 to 14,969 kg; here the H40FTS Gas sits at the bottom of that range with 1,912 kg. 727 Hyster models across 19 series are on record.

Hyster forklifts — drive type, capacity, series

A Hyster designation has three parts. The leading letter gives the drive type: H for internal-combustion trucks, E for electric. The number that follows denotes capacity — in the European ranges in tonnes, as the factory designation H2.0-3.0XT for the 2,000 to 3,000 kg band shows. The letters at the end mark the series.

Those series codes are the real key to the build year. FT, XT and A stand for successive generations of the same basic concept; the FT series, for instance, was designed for the Stage V emissions standard. Two trucks of identical capacity can therefore be years apart technically — the number alone says nothing about it.

Above the standard classes the designation grows longer. An H210HD is a rough-terrain truck with a rated capacity of 9.53 tonnes at a 1,220 mm load centre on pneumatic tyres. The HD code marks this heavy-duty version; trailing digits as in H210HD2 indicate the generation.

When comparing two offers the load centre matters as much as the capacity. A rated capacity always applies to a specific load centre distance — move the load forward and the permissible mass drops sharply. That figure is on the data plate and in the machine's capacity chart, not in the model designation.

What to check before buying

  • Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.
  • Compare the data plate and chassis number with the papers.
  • Check the weights in the papers against the figures here — attachments change them.
  • Load the hydraulics and watch for sag.
  • Ask about parts availability for this build year — the running costs hang on it.
