To meet all of your application needs, Hyster carries a diverse array of forklifts. The J45-70XN for instance features a unique component design and a Drop Battery Box that would allow this model to use pneumatic tires. The pneumatic tires will enable for a smoother ride by lessening vibrations when the surfaces are rough. This electric forklift has 4,500 to 7,000 pound capacities for both indoor and outdoor work. The electric motor on these units enables them to be a great zero emissions options to other engines. Hyster provides a line of four wheel lift trucks as well as three wheel forklifts to suit work areas that need a tight turning radius. The J30-40XNT unit is a three wheel lift truck that surpasses nearly all other types of lift trucks in its ability to turn sharp corners and manoeuvre through confined spaces. This series of lift trucks is great in crowded or limited work areas, making both unloading and loading easier and safer. This truck also features dual steering wheels to offer an even smoother and more stable ride. The J30-40XN model is a four wheel lift truck which has manoeuvrability really similar to a three wheel truck. The four wheel design on this model provides a Zero Turning Radius axle which is generally a lot more comfortable if longer distances need to be covered.
There are a lot of optional features and a lot of standard features provided on all Hyster lift trucks. The optional operator selectable performance mode will enable the driver to set up levels of performance from job to job. Further, it can enable a manager or supervisor to set the maximum level of performance if safety could be an issue, such as if a new driver is learning how to utilize the forklift, helping the driver to learn in a more controlled way.
In certain environments, enclosed operator cabs might be a great alternative for protecting employees from harsh conditions. An emergency exit, tempered glass and sound proofing help to keep the employee safe. Dual and panoramic rear view mirrors are available to increase operator visibility, particularly of the area behind the lift truck and the tail swing area. Impact monitors can be installed that disable the model and need a supervisor or manager to re-enable the lift truck. This can help to make sure that workers are operating machinery safely. To prevent forklifts from rolling when the operator intends to stop, an auto park brake is an optional feature which could be added. The park brake automatically applies itself when the forklift comes to a complete stop.
Certain ratings might 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 unit is 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 sites where arcs or sparks from electrical machines may ignite airborne deposits.
