Condition

Advantages

• Propane power: Propane forklifts are valued for quick refueling, consistent power delivery, and clean operation that is well-suited to indoor environments with proper ventilation. This means less downtime compared to battery charging and the ability to keep productivity high across multiple shifts.
• 8000# capacity: An 8,000 lb rating gives your team the headroom to confidently handle heavy pallets, machinery, building materials, and dense loads that would overwhelm lighter-class trucks. Fewer load breakups translate to faster turns at the dock and reduced handling risk.
• Full free mast with 88" collapsed height: Full free lift allows the forks and carriage to rise before the mast extends, which is ideal for working inside trailers, containers, and under low overhead obstructions. The 88-inch collapsed height also helps this straight mast forklift clear lower doorways, mezzanines, and rack tunnels.
• 194" lift height: Reaching up to 194 inches provides generous vertical range for warehouse racking, yard stacks, and staging. Operators can place and retrieve loads confidently at higher tiers, expanding storage density without moving to a larger, more complex lift truck.
• Fork positioner: Adjust fork spacing hydraulically from the seat, saving time and reducing manual fork changes. This feature supports faster transitions between different pallet sizes and minimizes operator strain, enhancing overall safety and throughput.
• Side shift: Side shift allows the carriage to move left or right without repositioning the truck. This fine-tuning control significantly reduces rehandling at height, protects pallet loads, and speeds placements in tight racking or on crowded trailers.
• Four way hydraulics: With dedicated hydraulic functions for mast and attachment controls, operators gain the precision to fully benefit from the fork positioner and side shift, and have the flexibility to support compatible hydraulic attachments. The result is smoother, more accurate load engagement and placement.
• Hyster build quality: Hyster is known for rugged frames, dependable drivetrains, and operator-focused ergonomics. That reputation for durability and parts support helps keep total cost of ownership manageable over the long run.

Applications

The Hyster S80FT Straight Mast Forklift shines wherever reliability, maneuverability, and high-capacity lifting are essential. With propane power, an 8000# capacity, full free mast, and precision hydraulics, this unit is versatile across a wide range of material handling tasks.

• Warehousing and distribution: Efficiently handle heavy pallets, bulk goods, and mixed freight. Full free lift and a low collapsed height are advantageous in trailers, containers, and tight dock areas.
• Manufacturing and assembly: Move dies, fixtures, raw materials, and work-in-process safely with the control of side shift and a fork positioner. The 194-inch reach supports multi-level storage and line-side staging.
• Building materials and lumber yards: Confidently lift dense, uneven, or long stock. Hydraulic fork adjustment speeds transitions between varied bundle sizes throughout the day.
• Metal fabrication and industrial supply: Transport steel bundles, plate, and equipment with fewer trips thanks to the robust 8,000 lb capacity and precise placement control at height.
• Food, beverage, and consumer goods: Improve throughput on loading docks and in narrow aisles where accurate pallet positioning reduces product and rack damage.
• General contracting and rental fleets: A dependable, easy-to-fuel propane straight mast forklift is a proven utility player on jobsites and in rental applications with diverse user needs.

Ownership Value

Investing in a 2015 Hyster S80FT delivers a pragmatic balance of capability and cost control. You get the lifting performance and feature package demanded by modern material handling—propane power, 8,000 lb capacity, full free mast, fork positioner, side shift, and four way hydraulics—without the steep depreciation of new equipment. Hyster’s strong parts availability and service network further support long-term uptime, while propane’s rapid refueling keeps shifts productive and predictable. The compact 88-inch collapsed full free mast and tall 194-inch lift height expand where and how you can work, minimizing bottlenecks created by low ceilings while enabling higher stacking. Features like hydraulic fork positioning and side shift reduce handling errors, speed cycle times, and support safer, more controlled placements. Over time, that translates into fewer damaged loads, less rework, and better labor efficiency—practical savings that matter in any operation focused on throughput and safety.
