The FKS/F-Series offers the ultimate combination of strength, maneuverability and comfort. Operating in the harshest indoor applications, these durable cushion tire lift trucks offer a wide array of mast and attachment configurations, as well as design options, to work in heavy industries such as steel and forging.
As with all Hoist Liftruck equipment, the FKS/F-Series is 100% made in the USA. More than 75% of each truck is manufactured in-house at our Midwest factory with the remaining components sourced from reputable U.S. companies, such as Dana and Parker.
Capacity Range
FKS/F-Series: 23,000 – 110,000 lbs. (11 – 55 tonnes)
Wheelbase
FKS/F-Series: 90 – 125 in. (2,300 – 3,200 mm)
Load Center
FKS/F-Series: 24 – 36 in. (900 – 1,200 mm) The FKS/F-Series is designed with a standard two-stage, high-visibility mast, low-profile carriage and short counterweight to provide the operator with unobstructed views in all directions.
For ultimate versatility and efficiency, equip your FKS/F-Series with our new Quick-Change System. This optional feature allows crews to switch from forks to a coil ram in minutes without removing the pin.

Dana 32,000 three-speed automatic powershift transmission
Automatic transmission prevents shifting until travel speed is less than 1mph
12-plate modulation for smooth shifting and added durability
Load-sensing hydraulic system with variable pumps adjust oil flow accordingly to provide quicker lifting cycles while also reducing fuel consumption
Integral safety function prevents engine stalling when hydraulic system is dead-heading
O-ring face seal fittings on entire system prevent oil leaks
Tilt-lock valve with counterbalance to prevent mast drift
Large clean-out covers on top for easy access and convenient drain plug on bottom
Filters are easily accessible for quick replacement
Hydraulic multi-gauge provides quick and easy pressure readings with a twist of the dial; eliminates the need to tap into hydraulic lines
Standard 12-volt electrical system
Color-coded electrical wires enclosed with split-tubing wire loom wrap using sealed weather pack connectors
Electrical system controls LED headlights, tail lights, turn signals, backup lights, marker lights, brake lights and LED amber strobe light; lights are completely sealed and last approximately 10,000 hours Hoist Liftruck’s line of BIG TRUCKS starts with a strong foundation. Anchoring the FKS/F-Series is the 100%-welded steel chassis, which boasts heavy steel cross supports that distribute weight evenly throughout the truck for added durability. Integrated lifting points also allow for safe handling and transport.
Did you know that many other lift truck manufacturers lose as much as 2,500 lbs. (1 ton) on the rated capacity when adding a feature such as a side-shifting fork positioner? Not on an FKS/F-Series. You receive the full rated capacity even if you add a feature such as a side-shifting fork positioner.
AxleTech Drive Axle
Planetary drive axle rated for durability in high-capacity, off-road applications
Force-cooled outboard wet disc actuated brakes reduces premature wear, extending life of brakes
Brakes can be serviced through the wheel ends without removing entire drive axle
Drive axle is bolted and dowel-pinned in the chassis
Industrial Steer Axle
Thick top plate on welded beam steer axle provides added strength and durability
Highly maneuverable in tight areas
Dual-action bolt on cylinder is protected by heavy steel support beams and provides effortless power steering

Easy-access lubrication points
Sealed tapered roller bearings
High-impact greaseable composite trunnions
Paint/Finish
Two-part rust-inhibiting polyurethane base coat and two-part polyurethane top coat for corrosion protection
Majority of components are powder-coated, which is up to 10 times thicker than traditional spray paint resulting in greater scratch and chip resistance
Environmentally friendly; produces virtually no volatile organic compounds (VOCs) We understand the importance of being able to service your lift truck easily and efficiently. Whether it’s routine maintenance or on-site service call, the FKS/F-Series is designed to allow easy access to all integral components to minimize downtime. Easy-lift hoods, panels and doors give technicians immediate access to vital service points. The innovative hydraulic multi-gauge provides quick and easy pressure readings with a simple twist of the dial, eliminating the need to tap into individual hydraulic lines.
