Performance Horsepower Range: Varies based on specific model variant (e.g., RS45 implies 4500 lbs capacity, engine power will be scaled accordingly) Torque Range: Varies based on specific model variant Fuel System Fuel Type: Diesel Fuel Injection System: Typically direct injection, potentially common rail for newer models. Cooling System Cooling Method: Liquid-cooled Emissions Emission Standards: Compliant with relevant European emission standards for off-road diesel engines at the time of manufacture. 🔧 Transmission Standard Transmission Type Standard: Likely an advanced hydrostatic transmission (HST) for precise control and smooth operation, or a robust torque converter automatic. Optional Transmission Type Optional: May vary depending on specific regional configurations or customer options. Features Transmission Control: Electronic or electro-hydraulic control for optimal performance and efficiency. Fluid Specifications Transmission Fluid Type: Requires specific heavy-duty transmission fluid, e.g., Hyster approved hydraulic oil or a suitable ATF/hydrostatic fluid. Check manual for exact specification (e.g., ISO VG 46 or similar). 📐 Dimensions Capacity Lifting Capacity Rs45: 4500 lbs (approx. 2041 kg) Lifting Capacity Rs46: 4600 lbs (approx. 2086 kg) Lift Height: Variable, dependent on mast configuration (e.g., 3-stage, duplex, triplex masts). Typical range: 3m - 7m+. Weights Operating Weight: Varies significantly based on configuration (e.g., 3500 kg - 5000 kg+), including counterweight. Mast Dimensions Mast Lowered Height: Specific to mast type and configuration. Mast Raised Height: Specific to mast type and configuration. 🛡️ Safety Features Ratings Industry Safety Standards: Designed to meet EN 16307, ISO 3866, and other relevant European safety directives for industrial trucks. Active Features Stability System: Features to enhance stability during lifting and turning, controlled by mast tilt and hydraulic systems. Braking System Safety: Service brakes, parking brake, potentially dynamic braking through hydrostatic transmission. Passive Features Operator Protection: Operator restraint system (seatbelt), overhead guard (OHG) for operator protection. Visibility: Designed for good all-around visibility, including mast and load visibility. 💡 Technology Features Infotainment Operator Interface: Basic operator interface with essential controls, warning lights, and potentially a simple display for operational parameters (e.g., hour meter, fuel level). Driver Assistance Operator Aid Features: Features focused on operational efficiency and safety, such as smooth acceleration/deceleration control, load sensing hydraulics, and stable mast operation. Connectivity Telematics Options: Modern Hyster forklifts often offer telematics options for fleet management, performance monitoring, and predictive maintenance. Specific availability for B222 series depends on production year and options. 🔧 Maintenance Service Intervals Daily Checks: Engine oil level, hydraulic fluid level, tire condition, brake operation, lights, horn, visual inspection for leaks or damage. Routine Maintenance Hours: Typically every 250, 500, 1000, and 2000 operating hours, depending on the service task (e.g., oil change, filter replacement, major inspection). Fluid Specifications Engine Oil Type: Requires specific diesel engine oil meeting API classification (e.g., API CJ-4 or CK-4) and...
