Advantages and What These Features Mean on the Job

• Propane power: Propane forklifts are popular for indoor and mixed-use material handling because they deliver steady performance, quick refueling, and lower exhaust emissions than many diesel counterparts in warehouse settings. Swapping or refilling an LP cylinder is fast, keeping shift productivity high and reducing waiting time compared to battery charging.
• Cushion tires: Cushion tires excel on smooth, paved surfaces such as warehouse, factory, and loading dock floors. They help deliver a compact turning radius and precise, predictable steering, making it easier to navigate tight aisles and congested staging areas without sacrificing stability under load.
• 13,500 lb capacity: A 13,500-pound class forklift steps up to heavier pallets, bulky raw materials, large finished goods, and industrial components that push beyond standard warehouse truck limits. This additional capacity expands what you can safely lift and stage, often allowing one truck to do the work of two smaller units.
• Triple mast with low collapsed height: The triple-section mast is engineered to offer more lift in a shorter overall package. With a 100" collapsed height and 209" maximum lift, this mast profile helps you clear low door headers, mezzanines, and overhead fixtures while still reaching high rack beams, tall stacks, or elevated conveyor feeds.
• Five-way hydraulics: Multiple hydraulic functions enable precise control and compatibility with a wide range of common forklift attachments. Operators can run more functions from the seat, improving load alignment and placement efficiency, and reducing time spent repositioning the truck.
• Hyster build quality: Hyster is known for rugged chassis design, dependable components, and operator-centric controls. That reputation translates to dependable uptime, straightforward serviceability, and a broad support network for parts and service.
• Indoors-first versatility: The S135FT configuration here is optimized for indoor environments—high-throughput warehouses, production lines, and distribution facilities—where stability, turning precision, and lift speed all impact the bottom line.

Industry Applications

• Warehousing and distribution: Ideal for high-bay racking, cross-docking, and staging heavy inbound/outbound loads where quick turnaround matters and space is tight.
• Manufacturing and assembly: Move dies, molds, steel, fabricated assemblies, and heavy subcomponents efficiently from receiving to line-side and finished goods areas.
• Building materials and supply: Handle dense pallets of block, brick, roofing, drywall, and millwork on smooth yards and indoor storage bays.
• Paper, packaging, and printing: Lift large rolls, skids of sheet stock, and heavy bundles that demand higher capacity with precise placement at machine infeed points.
• Food and beverage: Support high-throughput operations with quick propane refueling and smooth cushion-tire travel on sealed concrete floors.
• Ports and logistics support: Service warehouses adjacent to rail or truck terminals where heavy freight handling and fast cycle times are required indoors.

Ownership Value

Choosing a used Hyster S135FT delivers substantial total cost of ownership advantages. You gain proven Hyster engineering, strong parts availability, and a forklift that’s widely supported by service providers. Propane fueling minimizes downtime and simplifies operations in multi-shift facilities. Cushion tires are economical and well-suited to sealed floors, while the triple mast’s low collapsed height reduces building modification needs. The 13,500 lb capacity consolidates tasks that might otherwise require multiple lighter units, often lowering fleet complexity and maintenance overhead. At a listed price of $29,875, this machine offers significant savings compared to new equipment in this class while maintaining the performance profile required for heavy-duty indoor work.

Why This Hyster S135FT

Serious buyers evaluating high-capacity indoor forklifts will appreciate how this configuration lines up with real-world demands. The combination of propane power and cushion tires targets reliability and maneuverability on smooth surfaces. The triple mast profile helps you get a heavy truck where it needs to go without sacrificing the lift to top off tall racks. Five-way hydraulics expand your capabilities with attachments and finer control, crucial for minimizing product damage and speeding placement. With 12,025 hours and a 2020 build year, this unit hits a practical balance of modern design and proven run time, making it a compelling choice for operations looking to boost throughput without the premium of new.
