Hyster S50FT Forklift - 2022 Low-Hour 5,000 LB LPG Pneumatic Forklift

The Hyster S50FT represents American-engineered excellence in the 5,000 lb forklift category, and this 2022 model with under 1,000 operational hours offers essentially new-equipment performance with immediate availability. Fresh paint and comprehensive service ensure this forklift is ready for decades of productive material handling operations. Hyster Legendary Reliability: Hyster's reputation as one of the world's premier forklift manufacturers is built on over 90 years of engineering innovation and durability. The S50FT platform combines robust construction with refined hydraulic systems and proven drivetrain components that deliver consistent performance across demanding applications. At just 969 hours, this forklift has barely completed its break-in period, offering its entire productive lifespan ahead with minimal wear on critical components. Performance & Capacity: The 5,000 lb (2,268 kg) lift capacity handles standard palletized loads, drum storage, packaged materials, and general warehouse freight with confidence. The LPG (propane) power system delivers robust torque characteristics superior to electric alternatives while maintaining cleaner operation than diesel. Propane's consistent power output ensures reliable performance throughout the tank cycle without the power fade associated with battery discharge. Triple-Stage Mast Excellence: The triplex mast configuration provides an impressive 189-inch (4.8-meter) maximum lift height while maintaining a compact 84-inch (2.1-meter) lowered height—critical for operating in facilities with standard door clearances and container access. This high-reach capability enables efficient use of vertical warehouse space, maximizing storage density and reducing facility footprint requirements. The triple-stage design maintains excellent load stability even at maximum extension. Integrated Side-Shifter: The hydraulic side-shifter fork carriage eliminates the need for precise positioning during pallet pickup and placement, dramatically improving cycle times and reducing operator stress. This feature allows lateral fork adjustment up to several inches in either direction, compensating for imperfect pallet alignment or tight rack spacing without repositioning the entire forklift. The side-shifter significantly enhances productivity in high-volume operations. Versatile Fork Options: Choose between included 42-inch or 48-inch fork lengths to match your specific load requirements. The flexibility to select optimal fork length ensures proper load support and warehouse compatibility. Longer forks available at additional cost for specialized applications requiring extended reach or oversized load handling. Indoor/Outdoor Capability: Pneumatic shaped solid tires provide the cushioning and traction of pneumatic tires without puncture concerns. This tire configuration delivers smooth operation on indoor concrete surfaces while maintaining sufficient grip and shock absorption for outdoor yard work, loading docks, and uneven pavement. The four-wheel configuration with dual drive wheels ensures positive traction and excellent maneuverability. Operator Environment: Standard overhead guard provides OSHA-compliant operator protection from falling objects while maintaining excellent upward visibility for high-stacking operations. The ergonomic operator compartment features intuitive controls, comfortable seating position, and clear sight lines to fork tips and load—essential for safe, efficient operation. Recent Refurbishment: Fresh professional paint application and comprehensive mechanical servicing demonstrate proper care and investment in this forklift's condition. The full service includes hydraulic system inspection, brake verification, steering component check, and safety system certification—ensuring reliable operation and peace of mind. Low Operating Costs: LPG fuel delivers lower cost-per-hour operation compared to diesel while eliminating the infrastructure investment required for electric forklifts (chargers, battery rooms, ventilation). Propane tanks exchange quickly, eliminating charging downtime and enabling continuous multi-shift operation. Hyster's proven engine technology and readily available parts ensure minimal maintenance costs throughout the equipment's lifespan. Investment Value: At 969 hours, you're acquiring a forklift before any major service intervals, maximizing return on investment. The Hyster brand commands strong resale value, protecting your capital investment. This unit offers premium American manufacturing quality at pricing that delivers immediate cost savings compared to new equipment. Ideal for warehousing and distribution operations, manufacturing facilities, lumberyards, building material suppliers, cold storage operations, container loading/unloading, cross-docking facilities, and any material handling application requiring reliable 5,000 lb capacity with high-reach capability.
