This Hoist FKS9 is a used diesel forklift — sometimes referred to as a lift truck or counterbalance forklift — a class of powered industrial handling equipment used to lift, stack, and transport heavy loads across warehouses, logistics yards, construction sites, and industrial facilities. Hoist is a recognised manufacturer of heavy-duty forklifts, building machines engineered for demanding material-handling applications across a range of industries.
This 1998 machine is powered by a Cummins B3.9-C four-cylinder diesel engine displacing 3.9 litres, rated at 82 kW with 506 Nm of torque at 2,200 rpm. The Cummins B3.9-C is a well-established industrial engine known for reliability in heavy-duty applications, and its presence here points to a machine built for sustained, high-capacity work.
The mast is a two-stage unit with a lift height of 2,550 mm and an extended height of 4,660 mm, with a collapsed height of 1,420 mm — the latter being relevant for operation in environments with restricted overhead clearance. The load centre is rated at 500 mm, and the fork carriage is DIN 15173 class 4A, with a carriage width of 1,870 mm. The machine is fitted with a sideshifter as standard, along with third and fourth hydraulic functions, giving operators additional versatility for specialist attachments. Lighting is also included.
The forklift has an overall length to fork face of 3,600 mm and a chassis length of 3,060 mm, with an overall width of 1,500 mm. Ground clearance at the centre of the wheelbase is 730 mm, and the overhead guard stands at 2,510 mm. The machine is configured for seated operation and rides on superelastic tyres, though both front and rear tyres are noted as worn and would likely require replacement. Braking is handled by a combined hydraulic and mechanical service brake system, and the electrical system runs on 12 V.
This machine is located in the United Kingdom and is offered at a price of $20,120, representing a 1998 used diesel forklift with a documented specification sheet and a well-regarded engine at its core.
