At Hyster, we carry a diverse array of forklifts to meet all of your application requirements. Like for example, the J45-70XN features the unique component design and Drop Battery Box which enables this model to use pneumatic tires. Using the pneumatic tires allows for a smoother ride due to less vibrations even when the surfaces are rough. This electric forklift has 4,500 to 7,000 pound capacities for both indoor and outdoor work. These models' electric motor allows them to be a great zero emissions options to other engines. Hyster offers a line of three wheel lift trucks and four wheel forklifts to suit work spaces which need a tight turning radius. The J30-40XNT unit is a three wheel lift truck that surpasses most other types of forklifts in its ability to manoeuvre through confined spaces and turn sharp corners. This line of forklifts is great in limited or congested work areas, making both loading and unloading safer and easier. This type of truck also features dual steering wheels to provide an even smoother and more stable ride. The J30-40XN unit is a four wheel forklift that has manoeuvrability very similar to a three wheel lift truck. The four wheel design on this model provides a Zero Turning Radius axle which is usually much more comfortable if longer distances need to be covered.
There are many optional features and lots of standard features offered on all Hyster lift trucks. The optional operator selectable performance mode would allow the driver to set up levels of performance from job to job. Further, it could allow a manager or supervisor to set the maximum level of performance when safety might 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.
Enclosed operator cabs could be a great alternative in some environments to help protect workers from harsh conditions. To keep the employees safe, the enclosed operator cabs provide sound proofing, an emergency exit and tempered glass. Panoramic and dual rear view mirrors are available to enhance operator visibility, specially of the area behind the truck and the tail swing area. Impact monitors can be installed which disable the unit and require a manager or supervisor to re-enable the truck. This could help to ensure that workers are safely operating equipment. To prevent forklifts from rolling when the driver intends to stop, an auto park brake is an optional feature that could be included. The park brake automatically applies itself when the forklift comes to a full stop.
For various applications, some ratings might be required. UL GS, LPS, DS underwriter laboratory rating label with approved construction standard tells the operator that the unit 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 used in work sites where sparks or arcs from electrical machinery could ignite airborne deposits.
