Advantages That Drive Productivity

• Electric power: A zero-emission electric drivetrain helps maintain clean air quality in indoor environments and reduces ambient noise. The smooth, instant torque characteristic of electric power supports controlled starts and precise positioning, which is especially valuable when loading trucks, staging product, or working near personnel.
• 4,000 lb class capability: The 4000# Capacity gives you the strength to handle common palletized loads, raw materials, finished goods, and tooling with confidence. This capacity class is a sweet spot for many warehouse and manufacturing applications—strong enough for demanding tasks while remaining compact and maneuverable.
• Triple-stage mast with compact height: The 84" (collapsed) triple mast allows the truck to clear standard interior doorways and low overhead obstructions. Despite the compact stowed height, you still gain the vertical range to service higher storage locations when the mast is extended, enhancing storage density without increasing building height requirements.
• Extended reach when needed: With a 187" Lift Height, the truck can place or retrieve loads at elevated positions typical of multi-tier rack systems. This height helps you take advantage of vertical space, improving storage efficiency and reducing the footprint required for the same inventory levels.
• Precision load placement: Side Shift provides lateral carriage movement to fine-tune load alignment without re-spotting the truck. This shortens cycle times, reduces tire wear from repeated maneuvering, and improves overall placement accuracy in tight aisles or on crowded docks.
• 48 volt system efficiency: The 48 Volt Battery architecture delivers robust power for lifting and travel demands while supporting energy efficiency. This configuration is well matched for shift work, with predictable performance that helps operators maintain consistent pace throughout the day.

Where This Hyster J40XN Excels

Hyster engineered the J40XN to thrive in the types of environments where uptime, precision, and clean operation are non-negotiable. The specification set on this unit aligns with a wide range of indoor applications where throughput and ergonomics matter.

• Warehousing and distribution: Move palletized inventory, stage outbound shipments, and work dock-to-rack with confident lift control and quiet electric power.
• Manufacturing and assembly: Feed production lines, handle work-in-process materials, and support just-in-time workflows without adding emissions inside the plant.
• Food and beverage: Electric operation supports cleanliness goals while the mast’s reach helps maximize cold storage and ambient warehouse racking.
• Retail and wholesale operations: Efficiently handle inbound product, backroom storage, and sales floor replenishment where maneuverability and a compact collapsed mast are beneficial.
• Packaging and logistics: Side shift aids fast pallet placement on conveyors, wrappers, or staging zones, helping streamline repetitive handling tasks.

Ownership Value

Choosing an electric Industrial Forklift like the Hyster J40XN is a strategic decision that can lower total cost of ownership over time. Electric systems reduce fuel expenses, simplify routine maintenance compared to internal combustion powertrains, and support safer, quieter workspaces that can boost productivity. The triple-stage mast with 84" collapsed height and 187" lift height offers rare flexibility—clearing low structures while still accessing higher-tier storage—allowing facilities to grow vertically without major infrastructure changes. The 4000# Capacity is also future-friendly for many operations, covering a broad mix of load types so the truck remains useful as workflows evolve. When combined with precision features such as side shift and the strong, efficient 48 volt platform, the result is a forklift that helps crews work faster with fewer corrections, less travel, and less energy wasted between picks.

Why This J40XN Is a Smart Pick

Serious buyers value machines that match real-world demands, and this Hyster J40XN checks the boxes: proven Hyster durability, a practical 4,000-pound capacity class, a triple mast that balances compact stow height with high reach, and the accuracy of side shift. Electric power and a 48 Volt Battery system make it a sound choice for indoor fleets looking to meet sustainability goals while maintaining performance. With 5,030 hours, you gain clarity into prior use and can plan your fleet utilization accordingly. When you factor in the asking price of $12,750 and NLEQ’s testing and inspection, this unit represents a compelling opportunity to add capability without the premium of new equipment.
