HYSTER J120XN SIT-DOWN FORKLIFTS

Technical Description

The Hyster J120XN is a high-performance, 4-wheel electric forklift designed for industrial material handling with a load capacity of up to 12,000 lbs at a 24.1-inch load center. Powered by an 80-volt electric motor delivering 19.7 hp (14 kW), it features dual AC drive motors that provide smooth acceleration and precise speed control, reaching a maximum travel speed of 11.7 mph (18 kph). The forklift operates on pneumatic-shaped solid tires (front: 355/50-15; rear: 28 x 9-15) suited for both indoor and outdoor use, with a ground clearance of 5.7 inches and a minimum turning radius of 8.5 feet enabled by a zero-turn radius steer axle. Its hydraulic system operates at a relief valve pressure of 2250 psi, and the auxiliary hydraulic flow rate is 15.9 gallons per minute, supporting efficient lifting and attachment functions. The mast assembly includes tilt capabilities—6 degrees forward and 4 degrees backward—with a lift speed of 91 ft/min and a lowering speed of 71 ft/min, enabling precise load handling. The gradeability is rated at 21%, allowing operation on moderate inclines. The dimension profile includes an overall width of 4.8 feet, overall height of 7.7 feet with the mast lowered, and a wheelbase of 7.2 feet. The operator benefits from ergonomic controls mounted on an adjustable, cushioned armrest with integrated hydraulic function switches and directional controls. The parking brake is spring-applied, while the service brake is hydraulic, ensuring reliable stopping power. The forklift weighs approximately 14,510 lbs, balancing stability and maneuverability for demanding industrial environments.
