Heavy Duty Forklifts 36-48T

High capacity forklifts from Hyster, for handling 36 to 48 tons

The series Hyster heavy duty forklifts are completed with the H36-48XM(S) series, capable of handling loads from 36 to 48 tons. Other Hyster high capacity forklift series include the Heavy Duty Forklifts series 8-16 tons, 16-18 tons and 25-32 tons. Please contact us if you would like more information on the possibilities of each series.

The H36-48XM(S) series heavy duty forklifts consists of seven models (five US-models), and shares many similarities to the Hyster reach stacker series and the H40-50XM-16CH laden container handlers. The main difference with these machines is that on the forklifts the cab is mounted all the way up to the front, to provide better fork handling visibility. Of course you can contact us to find out which machine suits your application best.

Stable forklift trucks

The H36-48XM(S) are extremely powerful machines, with class leading lifting speeds. The standard 224kW/300Hp Cummins QSM11 diesel engine is capable of reaching an average lifting speed of 0.37m/s. The stable trucks are running on large 18.00×25 wheels on all models, providing longer tire life and lower running costs.

All forklift trucks are compact, with a wheelbase of 5.9m and a turning radius of only 7.72m. The short ‘S’ models are even more compact, with a wheelbase of only 5.38m and a turning radius of 7.10m.
