At Hyster, we have a diverse range of forklifts to meet all of your application requirements. For instance, the J45-70XN has the Drop Battery Box and unique component design which enables this unit to utilize pneumatic tires. Utilizing the pneumatic tires allows for a smoother ride due to less vibrations even when the surfaces are bumpy. This specific electric lift truck has 4,500 to 7,000 pound capacities for tasks done both outdoors and indoors. These models' electric motor enables them to be a great zero emissions options to other engines. Hyster provides a series of four wheel lift trucks and three wheel trucks to suit work spaces which require a tight turning radius. The J30-40XNT model is a three wheel forklift which surpasses most other lift trucks in its ability to manoeuvre through confined spaces and turn sharp corners. This line of forklifts is great in congested or limited work spaces, making unloading and loading easier and safer. This type of truck also features dual steering wheels to offer an even more stable and smooth ride. The J30-40XN unit is a four wheel forklift which has manoeuvrability very similar to a three wheel lift truck. The four wheel design on this particular model provides a Zero Turning Radius axle that is normally more comfortable if longer distances have to be covered.
There are numerous optional features and many 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 might be a concern, such as when a new operator is learning how to utilize the truck, helping the driver to learn in a more controlled way.
In certain environments, enclosed operator cabs might be a good alternative for protecting workers from harsh conditions. Tempered glass, sound proofing, and an emergency exit help to keep the employee safe. Panoramic and dual rear view mirrors are available to increase driver visibility, particularly of the area behind the forklift and the tail swing area. Impact monitors can be installed that disable the unit and need a supervisor or manager to re-enable the lift truck. This can help to ensure that employees are safely operating machinery. To prevent lift trucks from rolling when the driver intends to stop, an auto park brake is an optional feature which can be added. The park brake applied itself automatically when the lift truck comes to a complete stop.
Certain ratings may be needed for different applications. The approved construction standards and in particular the UL GS, LPS, DS underwriter laboratory rating labels would tell the driver whether the unit is 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 can be used in work sites where sparks or arcs from electrical equipment might ignite airborne deposits.
