HYSTER E40ZS (36V) SIT-DOWN FORKLIFT

Technical Description

The Hyster E40ZS (36V) is an electric forklift designed for efficient material handling with a lift capacity of 3,990 lbs at a 24-inch load center. Powered by a 36-volt electric system, it features a 2-section mast capable of lifting loads to a maximum height of 10.7 feet, with lift and lower speeds of 107 ft/min and 93 ft/min respectively. The mast incorporates a forward tip of 6 degrees and a rear tip of 5 degrees for load stability. Its compact dimensions, including an overall length to fork face of 6.5 feet, an overall width of 3.3 feet, and a height of 7.3 feet to the top of the overhead guard, enable high maneuverability, emphasized by a turning radius of just 5.6 feet and a wheelbase of 4.1 feet. The forklift runs on cushion tires with a 4-wheel (2 front, 2 rear) configuration and has an operating weight of roughly 7,590 lbs. It achieves a top travel speed of 11.2 mph (18 kph), facilitating swift movement around warehouses or production floors. Ground clearance stands at 3.6 inches, supporting operation on smooth concrete surfaces typical of indoor environments. The forklift’s ergonomic design likely includes operator controls positioned for ease of use and hydrostatic power steering to minimize steering effort, enhancing overall operational efficiency. The robust electric drivetrain and moderate size make the Hyster E40ZS (36V) suitable for a variety of industrial and warehousing applications requiring reliable, zero-emission lift truck performance.
