To suit all of your application needs, Hyster has a diverse range of lift trucks. The J45-70XN for example has a unique component design and a Drop Battery Box that would allow this particular 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 truck has 4,500 to 7,000 pound capacities for both indoor and outdoor work. These units' electric motor enables them to be a great zero emissions options to other engines. Hyster offers a line of three wheel trucks as well as four wheel lift trucks to suit work areas which require a tight turning radius. The J30-40XNT unit is a three wheel lift truck which surpasses nearly all other lift trucks in its ability to manoeuvre through tight spaces and turn sharp corners. This series of lift trucks is ideal in congested or limited work areas, making both loading and unloading easier and safer. This lift truck also features dual steering wheels to give an even smoother and more stable ride. The J30-40XN model is a four wheel forklift that has manoeuvrability really similar to a three wheel truck. The four wheel design on this unit offers a Zero Turning Radius axle that is normally much more comfortable when longer distances have to be covered.
Many features come standard on all Hyster forklifts, but there are numerous optional features available too. The operator selectable performance mode option enables the driver set the performance level needed on a job to job basis. Further, it could allow a manager or supervisor to set the maximum performance level if safety might be a concern, like for example when a new driver is learning how to use the forklift, helping the driver to learn in a more controlled way.
Enclosed operator cabs might be a great option in some environments to help protect workers from harsh conditions. To keep the workers safe, the enclosed operator cabs provide tempered glass, sound proofing, and an emergency exit. Dual and panoramic rear view mirrors are available to enhance operator visibility, especially of the tail swing area and the part behind the forklift. Impact monitors can be installed that disable the model and require a manager or supervisor to re-enable the lift truck. This can help to ensure that workers are operating machines safely. To prevent forklifts from rolling when the driver intends to stop, an auto park brake is an optional feature that can be added. The park brake automatically applies itself when the forklift comes to a full stop.
For different applications, certain ratings may be required. UL GS, LPS, DS underwriter laboratory rating label with approved construction standard tells the operator that the forklift has been equipped with added resistance to spark creation. If there is a concern, there is a mechanical main battery disconnect. An EE UL rating means that the forklift could be utilized in work sites where arcs or sparks from electrical machines may ignite airborne deposits.
