To suit all of your application needs, Hyster has a diverse variety of lift trucks. The J45-70XN for example includes a unique component design and a Drop Battery Box which will allow this unit to use pneumatic tires. The pneumatic tires will allow for a smoother ride by reducing vibrations if the surfaces are rough. This electric forklift has 4,500 to 7,000 pound capacities for both outdoor and indoor jobs. These units' electric motor enables them to be a great zero emissions options to different other engines. Hyster offers a line of four wheel forklifts as well as three wheel forklifts to suit work spaces which need a tight turning radius. The J30-40XNT model is a three wheel forklift which surpasses most other kinds of lift trucks in its ability to manoeuvre through confined spaces and turn sharp corners. This line of lift trucks is suitable in crowded or limited work spaces, making both unloading and loading easier and safer. This type of forklift also features dual steering wheels to provide an even smoother and more stable ride. The J30-40XN unit is a four wheel forklift which has manoeuvrability very similar to a three wheel forklift. The four wheel design on this particular model offers a Zero Turning Radius axle that is normally much more comfortable if longer distances need to be covered.
Many features come standard on all Hyster lift trucks, but there are numerous optional features available too. The operator selectable performance mode option lets the operator set the level of performance needed on a job to job basis. Further, it can allow a manager or supervisor to set the maximum level of performance if safety might be a concern, such as when a new driver is learning how to utilize the forklift, helping the driver to learn in a more controlled way.
Enclosed operator cabs might be a good option in some environments to help protect workers from harsh conditions. To keep the employees safe, the enclosed operator cabs provide an emergency exit, tempered glass and sound proofing. Dual and panoramic rear view mirrors are available to increase operator visibility, especially of the area behind the forklift and the tail swing area. Impact monitors could be installed that disable the unit and need a supervisor or manager to re-enable the lift truck. This could help to ensure that employees are operating machines safely. To prevent forklifts from rolling when the operator 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.
Some ratings may be needed 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 a concern, there is a mechanical main battery disconnect. An EE UL rating means that the lift truck could be utilized in work areas where arcs or sparks from electrical machinery could ignite airborne deposits.
