About 2 months ago I picked up a Hyster S40XM forklift for a fair price. It’s everything I need in a shop forklift although I wouldn’t mind if it lifted higher than 7ft.
A few weeks ago I snagged 2 more forklifts, 2 identical E50XM’s. One is missing the battery and the other needs the battery refurbished. I planned to make one out of the pair and robbed the new front tires off of one for my 40.
What I’m wondering is if I could interchange the mast from one of the E50’s to my S40. The 50’s have less than half the hours on them compared to my 40 and will give me the additional lift height I’m looking for but before I go tearing things apart I wanna confirm the masts will interchange. Visually they look identical but forklifts are a relatively new thing for me. Fortunately I have other equipment that would assist with swapping masts if they do interchange. Any information much appreciated.
