The S40-70FT series can offer significant annual savings in operating consumable costs, such as fuel efficiency, extended tire life, reduced brake wear and optimized service time, which can result in the lowest cost per load moved.

• Auto Deceleration System and controlled power reversal helps extend brake life.
• Electronic hydraulic control system helps reduce fuel consumption.
• Heavy duty cooling system with superior airflow reduces heat even in harsh operating environments.
• CANbus communications, non-mechanical sensors and switches, and sealed connections eliminate electrical problems.
• Pacesetter VSM reduces service checks and repairs.
• Service access is provided through a one-piece floor plate.
• Onboard diagnostics reduce repair time.
• Coil-over-plug ignition eliminates spark plug wires.

The truck is designed to help reduce operator fatigue and increase productivity through superior operator comfort, precise, effortless handling, and easy entry and exit.

• Easy-to-use 3-point entry design of operator compartment uses a molded hand grip and armrest/hip restraint to minimize muscle/joint strain.
• Increased shoulder clearance
• Non-cinch seat belt increases comfort by remaining loose during normal driving conditions. This automotive style seat belt features an internal mechanism that locks the seat belt if required.
• Isolated drivetrain minimizes the effect of powertrain vibration and road-borne shocks
• Swing-out bracket frees the LPG tank from over the counterweight to simplify changeout.
• Optional EZXchange bracket minimizes arm and back strain for easier tank changeouts.

Increased productivity can result in significant savings in materials handling costs.

• Hyster^® Variable Power Technology™ provides adjustable performance modes that allow customers to maximize productivity or fuel economy.
• Choice of 2 high output engines, 2 performance transmissions, 2 hydraulic controls and 3 cooling system options.
• DuraMatch™ transmissions include Auto Deceleration System, controlled rollback on ramps, and controlled power reversals to move loads more efficiently with less operator fatigue and product damage.
• Enhanced cooling system with optimized airflow stabilizes operating temperatures, allowing uninterrupted workflow and increasing uptime.
