The 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 Material Handling equipment, the F-Series is forged 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.

Hoist Material Handling’s line of BIG TRUCKS starts with a strong foundation. Anchoring the 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.
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
- Lower maintenance costs due to minimal amount of moving parts
- 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 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.
Every component on the F-Series is sourced from a reputable U.S. vendor or manufactured by Hoist Material Handling. Utilizing the same domestic components throughout our product lines provides you with not only cost savings, but also rapid parts availability.
The F-Series comes with a standard 12-month/2,000-hour warranty (parts and labor) with optional extended warranties up to 12,000 hours.
