Heavy duty addition
October 12th 2006

Hyster has extended its range of Fortens trucks with the introduction of the new, higher capacity H4.0-5.5FT series. Intended for applications where power and performance are paramount, it will enable a new group of users to benefit from the features of the Fortens range, by offering configurations optimised to meet their specific application requirements.

For them, claims the company, this means more high performance, increased uptime and enhanced ergonomics in a truck, which offers impressive productivity and reliability when operating with attachments.

The new H4.0-5.5FT series features the Cummins 4B 4.5L diesel engine or the General Motors 4.3L LPG engine. Both come with a standard warranty of 2000 hours or 1 year, or an extended powertrain warranty of 4000 hours or two years.

Each truck in the range is available as a Fortens, Fortens Advance or Fortens Advance+ model. Each configuration offers a product solution that can be tailored to the needs of specific customer applications.

An additional productivity bonus is the H4.0FT-5.5FT’s ability to maintain its load bearing capability when fitted with different attachments. Its high flow e-hydraulic system allows the truck’s hydraulic flow to be matched to each attachment’s function, facilitating optimal performance and maximum productivity.
