Used Hyster Counterbalance Forklift
Used Hyster H2.5TX-EL Forklift Model
This used Hyster H2.5TX-EL is a practical option for businesses that need a dependable secondary truck, a backup forklift for yard work, or a general-purpose unit for intermittent daily use without having to step straight into new-equipment money. It suits workshops, transport operators, warehouses and industrial sites where the brief is simple: start every day, handle the work properly and stay easy to maintain.
This 2006 model has 7,255 hours and comes fitted with a 3 stage mast, 4,500 mm lift height, solid tyres, flashing beacon, work lights, 3 hydraulic valves, 1,070 mm forks, seat belt and sideshift. The 3-stage mast gives you a proper full-free lift container mast. This means the operator can lift a pallet inside a shipping container or under a lower overhead area before the outer mast starts rising. That is a very practical feature on a used truck like this, especially for sites doing container work or loading in tighter spaces.

Used Hyster H2.5TX-EL Forklift FAQs
Everything you need to know before commiting
Got questions about this used H2.5TX-EL? Here are some of the most common things we get asked about this workhorse forklift.
Is 7,255 hours considered high for a used Hyster H2.5TX-EL?
For a 2006 internal combustion forklift, 7,255 hours is a mature working life, but it is still well inside the range where a Japanese-built Hyster TX-EL can make commercial sense. This is not the truck you buy for nonstop 24/7 production. It is the truck you buy when you want a dependable utility machine with a sensible price tag and the right spec for intermittent daily work.
Can this Hyster H2.5TX-EL drive inside standard shipping containers?
Yes. The 3-stage mast on this truck is a full-free lift container mast, which means the forks can raise to a useful working height before the outer mast starts lifting. In practical terms, that makes it much more usable inside shipping containers and under lower overhead areas than a basic mast setup.
What makes the Hyster TX-EL series a popular choice for used buyers?
It comes down to simplicity. The TX-EL series has a reputation for being mechanically straightforward, properly built and easy to support. That matters on an older forklift because parts access, serviceability and practical upkeep matter more than fancy electronics that do not add much once the truck is out in the yard doing real work.
What are the maintenance advantages of solid tyres on this truck?
Solid tyres take punctures and blowouts out of the equation. On sites with rough concrete, metal debris, loading areas and constant indoor-to-outdoor transitions, that is a real advantage. They also give the truck a more stable footprint under load, which helps on a 2.5-tonne counterbalance doing day-to-day work.
How does Compass support an older Hyster after delivery?
Buying an older truck from Compass does not mean you are left to work it out for yourself. We support Perth metro with servicing, repairs and practical backup after sale, whether the machine is bought outright or taken on a hire structure. If it needs attention, there is a clear path to getting it looked at properly.
