How to read this comparison

  • A highlighted value means that model leads on that specification, and only where a higher or lower figure is objectively better. Capacity and lift height are marked; wheelbase and tyre size are not, because neither direction is universally better.
  • A value is only marked when every model in the comparison published that figure. We never mark a leader against missing data.
  • We do not name an overall winner. Which machine is right depends on your aisles, your shift pattern and your energy prices, which no specification table knows.
  • Capacity figures are only comparable at the same load centre. Check the load centre row before comparing capacities directly.

Which one is cheaper to run?

The specification table cannot answer that on its own. Put your own hours and energy prices into these.

Frequently asked questions

Which has the higher lift capacity, the Hyster H3.5FT and Toyota 40-8FGU32?

Hyster H3.5FT: 3,500 kg. Toyota 40-8FGU32: 3,000 kg.

What is the main difference between the Hyster H3.5FT and Toyota 40-8FGU32?

Hyster H3.5FT offers 500 kg more rated lift capacity than the next model in this comparison. Toyota 40-8FGU32 offers 290 mm more maximum lift height than the next model in this comparison. These differ: Hyster H3.5FT 4,799 kg, Toyota 40-8FGU32 4,390 kg. Neither figure is better in itself - it depends on the application.

Do the Hyster H3.5FT and Toyota 40-8FGU32 use the same fuel type?

No. Hyster H3.5FT: Diesel. Toyota 40-8FGU32: Dual Fuel LPG/Petrol. Running costs are therefore not directly comparable without entering your own energy prices.
