Advantages and What These Features Mean in Practice

• Diesel Power: Diesel engines are the go-to choice for high-capacity forklifts thanks to strong low-end torque and excellent fuel economy under heavy loads. For yard work, outdoor operations, or facilities with robust ventilation, diesel provides reliable performance, fast refueling, and long service life. This translates to less downtime, consistent lifting power, and predictable operating costs.
• Fork Positioner: The fork positioner allows operators to adjust fork spacing hydraulically from the seat. Instead of manually repositioning forks for different pallet or load widths, operators change spacing on the fly. That saves time, reduces manual strain, lowers the chance of fork-damage to loads, and keeps production lines moving—especially in operations with mixed load sizes.
• Side Shift: Side shift offers precise left-right carriage movement without relocating the truck. This fine control helps operators align forks perfectly in tight aisles, on trailers, or when stacking in close quarters. The result is faster placement, fewer re-approaches, less product damage, and improved operator confidence.
• 15500# Capacity: This high-capacity rating gives your team the confidence to handle dense materials like steel bundles, precast forms, heavy equipment components, and oversized pallets. With the right load handling practices, a truck in this class helps reduce the number of trips, streamline staging, and consolidate handling tasks that lighter forklifts can’t safely manage.
• 147" (Collapsed) Standard Mast / 212" Lift Height: The standard mast configuration provides a balanced profile: low enough when collapsed for better door or mezzanine clearance and transport, yet tall enough at full lift to stack and stage materials efficiently. This combination supports operations that need to move between indoor and outdoor spaces and make full use of vertical storage.
• Four Way Hydraulics: Four-way hydraulics provide the control channels needed to operate hydraulic functions like side shift and fork positioning from the cab. The added hydraulic capacity means better versatility, smoother load handling, and compatibility with a range of hydraulic attachments appropriate for a high-capacity straight mast forklift.

Applications and Industry Relevance

This Hyster H155FT straight mast forklift is well-suited for operations where uptime, precision, and capacity matter. Its feature set and mast geometry make it a strong performer in a variety of demanding environments:

• Lumber and Building Materials: Move long or heavy bundles with confidence. The fork positioner adapts quickly to varying widths, and side shift helps position loads tightly in crowded yards.
• Steel and Metal Fabrication: Handle dense billets, plate, coil on pallets, or fabricated assemblies efficiently, relying on diesel torque and high capacity to maintain productivity.
• Manufacturing and Industrial Plants: Support production lines and staging areas where frequent load size changes benefit from a fork positioner and precision side shift control.
• Precast and Concrete Products: Transport molds and finished forms within capacity, leveraging the robust mast and hydraulic control for predictable placement.
• Freight Terminals and Distribution: Align loads precisely into trailers or racks and reduce cycle time with smooth side shift corrections and tall lift reach.

Across these applications, the H155FT’s combination of diesel power, smart hydraulics, and high-capacity design can help streamline handling workflows, reduce rework, and maintain safety standards through improved control and visibility.

Ownership Value

Choosing a pre-owned Hyster H155FT is a practical way to secure high-capacity capability without paying new-equipment premiums. This unit’s pricing at $39,875 reflects a compelling value proposition for operations looking to add or upgrade a heavy-duty straight mast forklift with modern hydraulic features. The benefits of ownership include:

• Lower Acquisition Cost: A used forklift in this class can deliver the required performance while freeing capital for other growth initiatives or fleet needs.
• Proven Design: Hyster forklifts are widely respected for durability and parts support, helping keep long-term maintenance predictable.
• Productivity-Focused Features: Four-way hydraulics with side shift and fork positioner reduce cycle times and can help limit product damage—small gains that add up across hundreds of lifts.
• Operational Flexibility: The standard mast’s collapsed and full-lift dimensions support work in a variety of spaces and help maximize vertical storage without excessive overhead clearance.

For operations managers, plant supervisors, and fleet owners, these attributes translate into better cost control, improved throughput, and a forklift that can grow with evolving material handling demands.
