Advantages

• Propane power: Propane (LPG) lets you refuel in minutes and maintain strong performance without waiting for a battery charge. It is a popular choice for indoor operations due to lower emissions compared to diesel, smoother throttle response, and consistent power delivery across long shifts.
• Cushion tires: Cushion tires shine on smooth, indoor surfaces like concrete and asphalt. They help reduce the truck’s overall footprint for improved maneuverability, achieve a tighter turning radius in aisles and dock approaches, and deliver predictable traction on warehouse and factory floors.
• 13500# Capacity: A 13,500 lb class rating equips this Hyster S135FT to handle heavy pallets, machinery components, steel or paper loads, large mold bases, fabricated assemblies, and other dense materials with confidence. The capacity headroom helps reduce multiple trips and allows safer handling of high-weight skids.
• 100" (Collapsed) Triple Mast: With the mast collapsed to 100 inches, this forklift can access areas with moderate overhead restrictions, such as certain dock doors, mezzanine openings, or trailer interiors, while still retaining the stacking height needed for productive storage.
• 209" Lift Height: A 209-inch maximum lift height supports efficient stacking to higher racking positions, improved cube utilization, and ergonomic pallet put-away and retrieval in multi-level storage environments.
• Triple mast design: Triple-stage masts balance compact stow height with extended reach, giving operators the flexibility to move from low-clearance spaces to high stacking without changing equipment.
• Five Way Hydraulics: Five Way Hydraulics provide multi-function capability at the control station. This means operators can run the primary mast functions and have additional hydraulic capacity available for attachments or enhanced load control. The result is faster cycle times, more precise load placement, and the versatility to adapt to different material handling tasks.
• Hyster durability and support: Hyster forklifts are recognized for robust frames, dependable drivetrains, and a dealer network that supports parts and service availability—key contributors to uptime and predictable ownership costs.

Applications

• Warehousing and distribution: Efficiently handle inbound pallets, replenish pick faces, and stage outbound freight. The cushion-tire layout and triple mast make it a strong fit for dock work and high stacking.
• Manufacturing and assembly: Move heavy components, tooling, dies, and finished goods across production lines, work cells, and shipping areas with the stability that a 13,500 lb capacity forklift provides.
• Building materials and millwork (indoor): Handle dense, banded product and bulky skids inside distribution facilities or fabrication shops where smooth floors and tight spaces are common.
• Paper, packaging, and printing: Manage rolls, sheets, and stacked pallets that demand high capacity and precise control. Five Way Hydraulics give you the flexibility to operate attachments and fine-tune load placement.
• Metals and fabrication: Transport plate, bar, coils, and assembled weldments up to the rated capacity. The 209-inch lift height helps with vertical storage of heavy stock and finished pieces.
• Food and beverage distribution: Rapidly stage mixed pallets and high-weight loads in coolers or dry storage, benefiting from propane’s consistent performance in a fast-paced environment.

Ownership Value

Choosing a 2020 Hyster S135FT delivers strong value for buyers who need serious lifting capability without the premium cost of new equipment. You get high-capacity performance, a versatile triple mast, and indoor-optimized handling for a price point that supports rapid ROI. Propane power simplifies refueling logistics and helps maintain steady throughput during peak periods. Cushion tires keep the machine nimble in confined spaces, which can translate to faster cycle times on the dock and in staging lanes.

Hyster’s reputation for durability and parts availability supports long-term serviceability. A used unit at this price allows you to keep capital expenditures in check while leveraging a proven platform. With NLEQ’s careful testing and inspection process, you’re not guessing about what you’re buying—you're selecting a forklift that has been evaluated and presented with accurate, reliable information so you can plan maintenance and utilization with confidence.

Why this S135FT

Not every high-capacity forklift can maneuver efficiently indoors, and not every compact truck can handle heavy loads. This Hyster S135FT bridges that gap. Its 13500# Capacity lets you lift dense, heavy product without resorting to specialty equipment. The 100" (Collapsed) Triple Mast maintains access through moderate overhead clearances while the 209" Lift Height enables productive stacking. Five Way Hydraulics add control flexibility for varied tasks and attachments, helping one truck do the work of many in a busy facility.

The 2020 model year offers a modern chassis and control feel associated with contemporary Hyster trucks, while 12,530 hours reflect real-world usage typical for industrial applications. For buyers upgrading from a lower-capacity unit or consolidating multiple machines into one versatile indoor forklift, this S135FT is a compelling, cost-effective solution.
