Professional Overview

The S155XL2 is part of Hyster’s legendary "oversized cushion" lineup, prized for its mechanical simplicity and rugged durability. Powered by the reliable GM 4.3L V6 LP engine, this truck avoids the complex computer systems of newer models, making it a favorite for maintenance teams. With 8,200 verified hours, it has been broken in for long-term service but remains well within its operational life for heavy-lifting duty cycles.

Dealer Highlights

• Specialized Reach: Most 15k-capacity trucks are limited to 15-foot lifts. This 24-foot configuration is a specialized tool that allows for maximum vertical space utilization.
• Mechanical Legend: Built before the era of Tier 4 Final electronics, this XL2 model is easy to repair, with readily available parts and a proven GM powertrain.
• Handling Oversized Loads: The included 6-foot forks are essential for moving heavy machinery, large crates, or wide industrial bundles without the need for fork extensions.
• Stable Platform: The 140" lowered height indicates a massive, heavy-duty mast assembly that minimizes "mast sway" when lifting 7.5 tons to 24 feet.
