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.
Frequently asked questions
Which has the higher lift capacity, the Hyster H4.0FT6 and Yale GLP30VX?
Hyster H4.0FT6: 4,000 kg. Yale GLP30VX: 3,000 kg.
What is the main difference between the Hyster H4.0FT6 and Yale GLP30VX?
Hyster H4.0FT6 offers 1,000 kg more rated lift capacity than the next model in this comparison. Hyster H4.0FT6 offers 13.0 kW more engine / motor power than the next model in this comparison. Yale GLP30VX offers 216 mm less overall width than the next model in this comparison.
