Hyster H30XMS-9 Heavy-Duty Diesel Forklift - 30-Ton Container Handler

The Hyster H30XMS-9 represents the pinnacle of heavy-duty material handling equipment, engineered specifically for the most demanding industrial applications. This 2019 model combines Hyster's legendary durability with advanced Cummins power and professional-grade features for container yards, steel mills, heavy manufacturing, and port terminal operations requiring uncompromising lift capacity and reliability. Exceptional Lift Capacity: With 30-ton (66,139 lbs / 30,000 kg) rated lift capacity at 900mm load center, the H30XMS-9 handles loaded shipping containers, heavy machinery, steel coils, industrial equipment, and oversized fabricated components that exceed the capability of standard forklifts. This extreme capacity eliminates the need for cranes or specialized lifting equipment for many heavy-load applications, streamlining operations and reducing handling time. Cummins Tier 4 Power: The Cummins QSB 6.7-liter turbocharged diesel engine delivers an impressive 264 HP (194 kW) with exceptional torque characteristics across the operating range. Tier 4 Final emissions compliance ensures regulatory adherence while advanced combustion technology maintains outstanding fuel efficiency for equipment in this weight class. The Cummins powerplant's reputation for durability and global service support makes it the ideal choice for mission-critical heavy-duty operations. Professional Drivetrain: The ZF WG211 transmission provides smooth, responsive power delivery with proven reliability in demanding industrial environments. This heavy-duty transmission features optimized gear ratios for both precise low-speed maneuvering and efficient travel speeds, while robust construction handles the extreme torque loads generated during maximum-capacity lifts. Extended Reach Capability: The duplex mast configuration provides 157-inch (4.0-meter) maximum lift height with 143-inch (3.6-meter) free lift—ideal for container stacking, high-bay warehouse operations, and loading elevated storage areas. The substantial free lift capability enables container placement and retrieval without mast extension interference, critical for tight overhead clearances in shipping yards and warehouse facilities. Advanced Load Handling: Integrated hydraulic side-shifter enables lateral fork positioning without repositioning the entire forklift, dramatically improving cycle times when handling containers or loads requiring precise placement. The fork positioner allows hydraulic adjustment of fork spacing, accommodating varying load widths without manual intervention—essential for operations handling diverse container types and pallet configurations. Extended 96.1-inch (2.44-meter) fork length provides stable support for standard 20-foot and 40-foot shipping containers. Operator Environment: Fully enclosed climate-controlled cabin provides essential comfort for operators working extended shifts in extreme weather conditions. Air conditioning ensures productive operation even in high-temperature environments common in container yards and industrial facilities. The enclosed design reduces noise exposure from the powerful diesel engine while providing protection from weather, dust, and debris. Ergonomic controls, adjustable seating, and excellent visibility reduce operator fatigue and improve safety. Heavy-Duty Construction: At 97,621 lbs (44,275 kg) operating weight, the H30XMS-9's massive frame and reinforced structural components provide the stability required for safe operation at maximum capacity. The substantial weight acts as a counterbalance for extreme loads, ensuring stability during lifts, transport, and placement operations. Pneumatic tires sized 16.00-25 (front and rear) deliver excellent load distribution, traction on varied surfaces, and shock absorption for smooth operation. Tire Condition & Serviceability: Front tires showing 20-40% remaining tread life indicate normal wear for equipment of this operational intensity, with rear tires at superior 60-80% remaining—demonstrating proper weight distribution and operational technique. The asymmetric tire wear is typical for heavy container handling and indicates the machine has been operated within design parameters. Operational History: At 9,800 hours, this forklift remains firmly within its designed operational lifespan. Heavy-duty industrial equipment like the H30XMS-9 is engineered for 20,000-30,000+ hour lifecycles with proper maintenance. The robust Cummins engine and ZF transmission are designed specifically for extended high-load operation, with comprehensive rebuild capabilities extending service life indefinitely. Application Versatility: Purpose-built for container handling at ports, intermodal facilities, and distribution centers, the H30XMS-9 also excels in steel production facilities, heavy manufacturing plants, mining support operations, shipbuilding yards, power generation facilities, and any industrial application requiring extreme lift capacity with precision control. Cost-Effective Heavy Lifting: Acquiring this professional-grade container handler delivers immediate heavy-lift capability at a fraction of new equipment investment. The H30XMS-9's productivity in container operations—where each handled container generates revenue—ensures rapid return on investment while eliminating costly crane rental or specialized equipment dependencies. Ideal for port terminals, container yards, intermodal rail facilities, steel mills, heavy manufacturing operations, mining support facilities, shipyards, power generation plants, and industrial operations requiring reliable 30-ton lift capacity.
