Advantages

• Productive 8,000 lb capacity: An 8K-class forklift is a true workhorse, sized to handle heavier pallets, dense building materials, steel bundles, pipe, machinery, and oversized loads that exceed the limits of standard 5,000–6,000 lb trucks. This capacity expands what your crew can move safely and reduces the need for multiple smaller lifts.
• Propane power for consistent performance: Propane forklifts are valued for immediate cold starts, steady power delivery, and minimal refueling downtime—swap or refill a cylinder and you are back on task in minutes. Propane also produces fewer particulates than diesel, making it a practical choice for indoor use with proper ventilation while still being robust enough for outdoor yard work.
• Triple mast versatility: The 89" collapsed height helps the truck clear standard doors, mezzanines, and lower racking areas, while the 185" lift height provides the reach you need for most warehouse stacking and production staging tasks. You get the operational flexibility of a compact profile without sacrificing useful lift range.
• Side shift precision: Side shift lets the operator move the carriage laterally without repositioning the entire truck. This reduces time spent jockeying into place, lowers the risk of product or rack damage, and speeds up tight aisle work, trailer loading, and exact pallet placement.
• Three Way Hydraulics control: Independent hydraulic circuits give the operator responsive, coordinated control over key functions. With dedicated controls for lift, tilt, and an auxiliary function such as side shift, your team can set forks quickly and accurately, boosting cycle times and enhancing safety.
• Operator-focused design: Hyster’s H80FT platform is known for ergonomic control placement and balanced stability. That translates to less fatigue over long shifts, strong visibility around the mast, and confident handling when working at height or moving heavy loads across the yard.

Applications

• Building materials and lumber yards: Move dimensional lumber, sheet goods, trusses, engineered wood, and heavy pallets of bagged product with the confidence that an 8K capacity delivers. The triple mast’s collapsed height makes indoor transitions simpler when loading under doorways or mezzanine structures.
• Manufacturing and fabrication: Ideal for handling steel plate, bar stock, machine components, molds, dies, and tooling. Side shift helps align loads when feeding CNCs, loading fixtures, or staging work-in-process in tight spaces.
• Distribution and warehousing: Manage heavier pallets, bulk goods, and mixed freight. The 185" lift height supports most racking strategies, and propane reduces refueling delays in multi-shift operations.
• Concrete, masonry, and hardscape suppliers: Efficiently transport blocks, pavers, and bagged aggregates. Three-way hydraulics enable smooth, deliberate fork positioning to protect product edges and packaging.
• Metal, pipe, and industrial supply: Confidently move dense bundles and long product. Side shift makes aligning to racks and trailers faster and reduces the back-and-forth repositioning that slows loading.
• Rental fleets and contractors: A versatile 8K straight mast forklift with propane power fits a wide range of short- and long-term jobs, from material staging on commercial sites to plant turnarounds and seasonal peak volumes.
