The wheelbase measures 1,450.8 mm. Ground clearance is 116.1 mm. Top speed is 18.3 km/h. The fuel is LP/Gas. Maximum torque is reached at 1,200 rpm. Working pressure is 159 bar. The engine fitted is the PSI 2,4L. The Hyster Forklift series covers 261 models. Unladen weight within it ranges from 2,068 to 19,602.9 kg; the S50CT2 sits at the bottom of that range with 3,596.1 kg. Its immediate neighbours are the S40FT (Fortis) below it with 3,555 kg and the H40FT Diesel above it with 3,622 kg. 655 Hyster models across 15 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.
