Advantages

• Serious lifting power: A 15,500 lb capacity opens the door to heavier palletized goods, industrial components, steel products, lumber packs, machinery, and bulk materials, consolidating moves that might otherwise take multiple lifts.
• Compact when it counts: The 121" collapsed triple mast helps with doorways and low-clearance storage areas while still providing the vertical reach you need up to 244". That combination supports efficient stacking and racking without oversizing the machine.
• Productive reach: A 244" lift height offers strong vertical capacity for staging on higher racks, loading flatbeds with tall stacks, and creating more vertical storage density where floor space is tight.
• Flexible hydraulic control: Five-way hydraulics give operators the control channels needed for common carriage functions and compatible attachments. This flexibility helps your team adapt to various load types throughout a shift.
• Propane practicality: Propane fuel is valued for fast tank changes, consistent engine performance, and reduced emissions compared to many diesel units—especially helpful for mixed indoor/outdoor operations and facilities aiming to balance air quality with productivity.
• Low-hour confidence: At 290 hours, this forklift has seen very limited runtime, giving buyers a longer useful life horizon and more predictable maintenance planning.
• Hyster durability: Hyster’s reputation for rugged construction and operator-focused design translates to dependable uptime and stable handling under heavy loads.
• Cost-effective acquisition: As a used straight mast forklift from 2016, this machine helps avoid the steepest portion of depreciation while still delivering modern performance and control.

Applications

The Hyster S155FT Straight Mast Forklift is built for environments where controlled handling of heavy loads is a daily requirement. Its capacity, mast configuration, and control flexibility make it a strong fit for:

• Building materials yards handling lumber packs, masonry products, and precast components
• Steel and metals distribution moving plate, coil, bar stock, and fabricated assemblies
• Manufacturing plants staging large tooling, dies, fixtures, and finished goods
• Warehousing and cross-dock operations with heavy pallets and oversized freight
• Ports, rail, and intermodal yards dealing with heavy cargo and palletized materials
• Rental fleets seeking a dependable, high-capacity propane forklift to meet peak demand

Ownership Value

Owners of high-capacity forklifts expect consistent performance, controllability under load, and predictable operating costs. This Hyster S155FT aligns with those expectations. The propane powerplant supports quick refueling and high availability, while the triple-stage mast’s combination of collapsed height and max lift allows you to use one machine across varied tasks rather than dedicating multiple units to different height constraints. The five-function hydraulic controls give your team the ability to integrate popular carriage functions and compatible attachments, helping one forklift do more work across a shift. Low hours further enhance the value proposition by extending the runway before major service intervals and by reducing wear-related downtime risks. When paired with Hyster’s robust build quality, you get a forklift that not only lifts heavy but does so with stability and confidence. From an operational standpoint, the S155FT’s configuration helps streamline material flow—heavier picks can be moved in fewer cycles, tall stacks can be built efficiently thanks to the 244" lift height, and clearance-sensitive aisles or loading doors can be navigated with the 121" collapsed mast. For managers focused on ROI, that translates into time saved per move, less equipment changeover, and better utilization of warehouse cube. At the purchase level, acquiring a used 2016 model at $54,975 allows you to sidestep the long lead times and higher upfront cost associated with new equipment, while still securing a low-hour machine from a brand known for longevity.
