Used — indicative estimate
This is a broad modelled estimate, not a verified market range. It starts with the sourced indicative new price of $35,950 and applies HeavyBook’s declared depreciation curve for forklifts at the reference ages shown above. A real machine can sit outside it because of hours, condition, attachments and location. See the method →
The H2.5XT sits in the mid-capacity heart of Australia's counterbalance forklift market — the general-purpose class bought by warehouses, wholesalers, manufacturers and rural operators alike. It is Hyster's value-tier truck, positioned below the premium Fortens line and sold locally through the national Adaptalift dealer network, so parts and service coverage is broad. Used stock concentrates along the eastern seaboard and is often ex-fleet or ex-hire. Both diesel and LPG versions appear, typically in standard two-stage mast form with side shift a common add-on; LPG suits indoor duty while diesel dominates yard work. Pricing spreads widely for a compact truck: hours, mast height and tyre condition move the needle more than age alone. Well-kept late-model examples sell quickly, while tired high-hour units linger and should be priced accordingly.

What Moves the Price
Mast & side-shift
A container mast with side-shift is what most buyers actually need. Plain two-stage masts without it sit at the bottom of the range.
Low hours for age
Forklifts live on the hour meter, not the calendar. A low-hour unit from light warehouse duty out-prices the same year worked hard on a yard.
LPG vs diesel vs electric
Indoor buyers want electric or LPG, yard buyers want diesel. A machine on the wrong side of that split waits longer and sells cheaper.
Tyres, forks & battery
Solid tyres worn to the line, heeled forks, and on electrics a tired battery are all quoted straight off the price — a battery alone can be a major cost.
