To meet all of your application needs, Hyster carries a diverse range of lift trucks. 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 reducing vibrations if the surfaces are rough. This type of electric forklift has 4,500 to 7,000 pound capacities for tasks performed both indoors and outdoors. The electric motor on these models allows them to be a great zero emissions options to various other engines. Hyster provides a line of four wheel forklifts as well as three wheel forklifts to suit work areas that need a tight turning radius. The J30-40XNT model is a three wheel lift truck that surpasses nearly all other types of forklifts in its ability to manoeuvre through confined spaces and turn sharp corners. This series of lift trucks is great in limited or congested work areas, making unloading and loading easier and safer. This type of truck also features dual steering wheels to give an even smoother and more stable ride. The J30-40XN model is a four wheel lift truck that has manoeuvrability very similar to a three wheel truck. The four wheel design on this specific unit provides a Zero Turning Radius axle which is usually more comfortable when longer distances have to be covered.
Numerous features come standard on all Hyster forklifts, but there are lots of optional features available as well. The operator selectable performance mode option enables the operator set the level of performance needed on a job to job basis. Further, it could allow a manager or supervisor to set the maximum performance level when safety might be a concern, such as when a new operator is learning how to use the truck, helping the driver to learn in a more controlled way.
Enclosed operator cabs could be a good alternative in some environments to help protect employees from harsh conditions. To keep the employees safe, the enclosed operator cabs provide an emergency exit, tempered glass and sound proofing. Panoramic and dual rear view mirrors are available to increase driver visibility, specially of the part behind the forklift and the tail swing area. Impact monitors could be installed which disable the model and need a supervisor or manager to re-enable the lift truck. This can help to make sure that employees are safely operating equipment. To prevent units from rolling when the operator intends to stop, an auto park brake is an optional feature which could be added. The park brake applied itself automatically when the lift truck comes to a complete stop.
Certain 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 driver whether the forklift 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 could be utilized in work sites where sparks or arcs from electrical equipment can ignite airborne deposits.
