At Hyster, we have a diverse array of lift trucks to suit all of your application requirements. Like for instance, the J45-70XN has the Drop Battery Box and unique component design that allows this unit to use pneumatic tires. Using the pneumatic tires enables for a smoother ride because of reduced vibrations even if the surfaces are bumpy. This 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 alternatives to different other engines. Hyster provides a line of four wheel lift trucks and three wheel trucks to suit work spaces that require a tight turning radius. The J30-40XNT model is a three wheel forklift that surpasses nearly all other lift trucks in its ability to manoeuvre through confined spaces and turn sharp corners. This line of lift trucks is suitable in limited or congested work areas, making unloading and loading easier and safer. This truck also features dual steering wheels to provide 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 unit offers a Zero Turning Radius axle that is generally a lot more comfortable when longer distances need to be covered.
A lot of features come standard on all Hyster lift trucks, but there are numerous optional features available as well. The operator selectable performance mode option allows the driver set the level of performance needed on a job to job basis. Further, it could allow a manager or supervisor to set the maximum level of performance if safety could be a concern, like for example helping the driver to learn in a more controlled way if a new operator is learning how to utilize the forklift.
Enclosed operator cabs might be a great alternative in certain environments to help protect workers from harsh conditions. To keep the workers safe, the enclosed operator cabs provide sound proofing, an emergency exit and tempered glass. Dual and panoramic rear view mirrors are available to improve operator visibility, particularly of the part behind the truck and the tail swing area. Impact monitors can be installed that disable the unit and require a supervisor or manager to re-enable the truck. This could help to ensure that employees are safely operating equipment. To prevent forklifts from rolling when the driver intends to stop, an auto park brake is an optional feature that can be included. The park brake applied itself automatically when the unit comes to a complete stop.
For various applications, some ratings may be required. UL GS, LPS, DS underwriter laboratory rating label with approved construction standard tells the driver that the lift truck has been outfitted with added resistance to spark creation. If there is a problem, there is a mechanical main battery disconnect. An EE UL rating means that the lift truck could be used in work areas where sparks or arcs from electrical machinery may ignite airborne deposits.
