At Hyster, we have a diverse array of forklifts to suit all of your application needs. For example, the J45-70XN features the unique component design and Drop Battery Box which allows this unit to utilize pneumatic tires. The use of the pneumatic tires allows for a smoother ride due to less vibrations even if the surfaces are bumpy. This electric forklift has 4,500 to 7,000 pound capacities for jobs performed both outdoors and indoors. The electric motor on these units allows them to be a great zero emissions options to other engines. Hyster offers a line of three wheel forklifts as well as four wheel forklifts to suit work areas that require a tight turning radius. The J30-40XNT model is a three wheel lift truck that surpasses most other forklifts in its ability to turn sharp corners and manoeuvre through confined spaces. This series of lift trucks is great in limited or crowded work areas, making loading and unloading easier and safer. This kind of truck also features dual steering wheels to give an even smoother and more stable ride. The J30-40XN unit is a four wheel forklift which has manoeuvrability really similar to a three wheel truck. The four wheel design on this model offers a Zero Turning Radius axle that is normally more comfortable if longer distances have to be covered.
Lots of features come standard on all Hyster lift trucks, but there are numerous optional features available too. The operator selectable performance mode option enables the operator set the level of performance required on a job to job basis. Further, it could enable a manager or supervisor to set the maximum level of performance when safety might be an issue, like for example when a new driver is learning how to use the truck, helping the operator to learn in a more controlled way.
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 an emergency exit, tempered glass and sound proofing. Panoramic and dual rear view mirrors are available to improve operator visibility, especially of the part behind the truck and the tail swing area. Impact monitors can be installed which disable the model and need a supervisor or manager to re-enable the truck. This could help to ensure that workers are safely operating equipment. To prevent forklifts from rolling when the operator intends to stop, an auto park brake is an optional feature that can be added. The park brake applied itself automatically when the unit comes to a full stop.
Certain ratings might be required for various applications. The approved construction standards and particularly 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 an issue, there is a mechanical main battery disconnect. An EE UL rating means that the forklift could be used in work areas where arcs or sparks from electrical machines could ignite airborne deposits.
