To meet all of your application needs, Hyster has a diverse array of forklifts. The J45-70XN for example has a unique component design and a Drop Battery Box which will enable this model to use pneumatic tires. The pneumatic tires will allow for a smoother ride by lessening vibrations when the surfaces are rough. This type of electric truck has 4,500 to 7,000 pound capacities for both outdoor and indoor jobs. The electric motor on these units allows them to be a great zero emissions alternatives to different other engines. Hyster provides a line of three wheel trucks and four wheel forklifts to suit work areas that need a tight turning radius. The J30-40XNT unit is a three wheel lift truck that surpasses most other lift trucks in its ability to turn sharp corners and manoeuvre through tight spaces. This series of forklifts is suitable in limited or congested work areas, making both loading and unloading safer and easier. This forklift also features dual steering wheels to offer an even more stable and smooth ride. The J30-40XN model is a four wheel forklift which has manoeuvrability very similar to a three wheel lift truck. The four wheel design on this unit provides a Zero Turning Radius axle that is normally more comfortable if longer distances need to be covered.
There are lots of optional features and lots of standard features offered on all Hyster lift trucks. The optional operator selectable performance mode will enable the driver to set up performance levels from job to job. Further, it could enable a supervisor or manager to set the maximum performance level if safety could be a concern, like when a new operator is learning how to use the lift truck, helping the driver to learn in a more controlled way.
In some environments, enclosed operator cabs could be a great option for protecting workers from harsh conditions. An emergency exit, tempered glass and sound proofing help to keep the worker safe. Panoramic and dual rear view mirrors are available to improve driver visibility, specially of the tail swing area and the part behind the truck. Impact monitors can be installed that disable the model and require a manager or supervisor to re-enable the forklift. This could help to make sure that employees are operating machines in a safe manner. To prevent units from rolling when the operator intends to stop, an auto park brake is an optional feature which can be included. The park brake automatically applies itself when the unit comes to a full stop.
Some ratings might be required for different applications. The approved construction standards and in particular the UL GS, LPS, DS underwriter laboratory rating labels will tell the user whether the unit is outfitted 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 forklift can be used in work areas where arcs or sparks from electrical machines could ignite airborne deposits.
