At Hyster, we carry a diverse variety of lift trucks to suit all of your application needs. Like for example, the J45-70XN has the Drop Battery Box and unique component design which allows this model to use pneumatic tires. Using the pneumatic tires allows for a smoother ride due to less vibrations even if the surfaces are bumpy. This specific electric forklift has 4,500 to 7,000 pound capacities for both indoor and outdoor work. The electric motor on these models enables them to be a great zero emissions options to other engines. Hyster provides a series of four wheel forklifts and three wheel trucks to suit work spaces which need a tight turning radius. The J30-40XNT unit is a three wheel forklift which surpasses most other forklifts in its ability to turn sharp corners and manoeuvre through tight spaces. This series of forklifts is suitable in crowded or limited work spaces, making both loading and unloading safer and easier. This type of lift truck also features dual steering wheels to offer an even smoother and more stable ride. The J30-40XN unit is a four wheel lift truck which has manoeuvrability very similar to a three wheel lift truck. The four wheel design on this unit offers a Zero Turning Radius axle that is generally more comfortable if longer distances have to be covered.
There are a lot of optional features and many standard features offered on all Hyster lift trucks. The optional operator selectable performance mode will allow the driver to set up levels of performance from job to job. Further, it could enable a manager or supervisor to set the maximum performance level if safety could be an issue, such as helping the operator to learn in a more controlled way if a new operator is learning how to utilize the forklift.
In some environments, enclosed operator cabs might be a good option for protecting workers from harsh conditions. An emergency exit, tempered glass and sound proofing help to keep the worker safe. Dual and panoramic rear view mirrors are available to enhance driver visibility, especially of the area behind the forklift and the tail swing area. Impact monitors can be installed that disable the unit and need a supervisor or manager to re-enable the truck. This can help to ensure that employees are safely operating equipment. To prevent lift trucks from rolling when the driver intends to stop, an auto park brake is an optional feature which can be added. The park brake automatically applies itself when the unit comes to a full stop.
For different applications, some ratings might be required. UL GS, LPS, DS underwriter laboratory rating label with approved construction standard tells the driver that the forklift has been equipped with added resistance to spark creation. If there is an issue, there is a mechanical main battery disconnect. An EE UL rating means that the lift truck can be utilized in work sites where sparks or arcs from electrical equipment might ignite airborne deposits.
