Used Hyster & Yale Hyster H80FT: Sell or Buy at Auction

Hyster-Yale Group is an American manufacturer of Hyster and Yale branded forklifts, two of the most recognized forklift brands in North American warehousing and manufacturing. Hyster forklifts are known for heavy-duty durability; Yale for versatility and operator ergonomics. Both brands have extensive dealer networks ensuring parts and service availability.

The Hyster H80FT is an internal combustion, pneumatic tire counterbalance forklift from Hyster's Fortens (FT) series, rated in the 8,000 lb capacity class and offered with LPG or diesel power for outdoor, yard duty work. Its pneumatic tires and higher ground clearance let it run on the gravel, packed dirt, and broken pavement of lumberyards, steel service centers, building supply yards, and outdoor manufacturing sites, where a smooth floor cushion tire warehouse truck cannot follow. Buyers at auction for this model are usually dealers and outdoor fleet operators who already trust the H80FT to H120FT Fortens class for durability, and who focus on verified engine hours, tire condition, and a well maintained hydraulic mast rather than a light duty indoor unit. KD Auctions moves big internal combustion pneumatic trucks like this one across its network of 500,000+ industry contacts, where lumber, steel, and outdoor material handling operations actively bid on well kept, high capacity Hyster iron.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is my Hyster H80FT worth at auction?

Value depends on the truck's age and engine hours, whether it runs LPG or diesel, tire condition, mast and carriage configuration, and any attachments such as a sideshifter or fork positioner.
