Overview

The Hyster H80FT is a known workhorse in the 8,000-pound class, built to move serious weight while maintaining precise load control and operator confidence. This straight mast configuration emphasizes durability and ease of maintenance, while the propane engine allows clean, efficient operation in mixed indoor and outdoor environments. The 88-inch collapsed free lift mast supports work under low overhead obstructions by allowing the forks to rise without immediately extending the mast, and the 121-inch lift height gives you practical vertical reach for common racking, stacking, and truck loading tasks. With four way hydraulics, the machine is already set up to operate multiple hydraulic functions, making it suitable for a range of typical forklift attachments and refined load-handling operations. Combined with a competitive price point and NLEQ’s thorough inspection standards, this H80FT is a compelling option for buyers who value uptime and predictable ownership costs.

Advantages and What They Mean on Your Job

• Propane power: Propane forklifts are a favorite for operations that move between warehouse floors and outdoor yards. Propane burns cleanly, minimizing indoor emissions when properly ventilated and maintained, and fuel swaps are fast—change cylinders and get back to work in minutes. For multi-shift operations, this can translate into less downtime compared to recharging electric equipment.
• 8,000 lb capacity: The H80FT sits in a productive capacity range for manufacturing, building materials, steel and fabrication shops, and high-throughput distribution. An 8,000-pound rating gives you margin to handle dense pallets, heavy dies, bundled lumber, pipe, and other challenging loads with confident stability and control when operated within rated parameters.
• 88" collapsed free lift mast: Free lift is a decisive advantage in low clearance environments. It allows you to raise the forks and lift a load off the ground without increasing the overall mast height at the early stage of lift. With a collapsed height of 88 inches, you gain flexibility working under mezzanines, low door headers, and other overhead restrictions where traditional mast extension would be problematic.
• 121" lift height: This practical lift height covers common dock work, stacking on the floor two-high in many applications, and reaching lower to mid-level racking. It’s a functional sweet spot for general warehousing, manufacturing line supply, and indoor staging where maximum skyscraper reach is not required but dependable vertical capacity is essential.
• Four way hydraulics: Additional hydraulic functions give operators the capability to run compatible attachments and fine-tune load placement. Whether your operation prioritizes precise alignment on racks, frequent load repositioning, or specialty material handling, having the hydraulic circuits in place opens options for productivity-enhancing tools and refined control.
• Hyster build quality: Hyster has a long reputation for rugged construction and intuitive service access. From frame integrity to operator ergonomics and component longevity, the H80FT platform is field-proven to deliver dependable cycles in demanding conditions when properly maintained.

Applications Where This H80FT Excels

• Warehousing and distribution: Move heavy pallets, stage outbound shipments, and load or unload trailers on tight schedules. The propane power and four way hydraulics support sustained, precise operation across shifts.
• Manufacturing and fabrication: Feed production lines, transport dies and fixtures, and position materials with accuracy. The 8,000-pound capacity provides confidence for dense loads encountered in metal, plastics, and machinery environments.
• Lumber and building materials yards: Lift bundled lumber, sheet goods, roofing materials, and block efficiently. The straight mast and robust chassis handle uneven surfaces commonly found in yard operations when operated appropriately.
• Construction supply and rental houses: Service contractors quickly with reliable loading, unloading, and equipment positioning. Free lift helps when maneuvering under canopies and in low-entry warehouses.
• Food and beverage distribution: Propane power is a practical fit for ventilated indoor spaces and dock work, supporting time-sensitive loading while maintaining consistent performance.
• General logistics and cross-docking: Manage mixed freight, short travel cycles, and frequent pick-and-place tasks. The 121-inch lift height aligns well with typical floor stacks and dock heights, simplifying workflows.

Ownership Value

Choosing a used Hyster H80FT delivers value on multiple fronts. First, acquisition cost: at $17,850, this unit provides a strong price-to-capability ratio versus new equipment, helping you preserve capital without sacrificing essential performance. Second, serviceability: Hyster designs are known for straightforward maintenance access, which can reduce service time and cost when compared with more complex alternatives. Third, support: the widespread presence of Hyster equipment means parts availability and technician familiarity are typically strong in most markets. Finally, propane fueling simplifies fleet operations by enabling quick tank swaps and consistent power output, particularly useful for multi-shift or high-uptime scenarios where recharge downtime is not acceptable.

The result is lower total cost of ownership potential, especially for operators who maintain equipment on schedule and match the forklift to appropriate load and terrain conditions. This H80FT’s configuration—propane, 8,000-pound capacity, free lift mast, and four way hydraulics—hits a practical balance of capability and cost control for many material handling profiles.
