To suit all of your application requirements, Hyster has a diverse array of forklifts. The J45-70XN for instance features a Drop Battery Box and a unique component design that would enable this particular unit to use pneumatic tires. The pneumatic tires will enable for a smoother ride by lessening vibrations when the surfaces are rough. This electric truck has 4,500 to 7,000 pound capacities for tasks done both indoors and outdoors. The electric motor on these models allows them to be a great zero emissions options to various other engines. Hyster offers a series of four wheel lift trucks as well as three wheel trucks to suit work spaces which require a tight turning radius. The J30-40XNT unit is a three wheel lift truck that surpasses most other types of forklifts in its ability to turn sharp corners and manoeuvre through tight spaces. This line of forklifts is ideal in crowded or limited work areas, making both unloading and loading easier and safer. This truck also features dual steering wheels to provide an even smoother and more stable ride. The J30-40XN model is a four wheel forklift which has manoeuvrability very similar to a three wheel truck. The four wheel design on this model offers a Zero Turning Radius axle which is usually more comfortable if longer distances have to be covered.
A lot of features come standard on all Hyster lift trucks, but there are numerous optional features available too. The operator selectable performance mode option allows the driver set the performance level required on a job to job basis. Further, it can enable a manager or supervisor to set the maximum level of performance if safety might be a concern, such as if a new operator is learning how to use the truck, helping the driver to learn in a more controlled way.
Enclosed operator cabs could be a good option in some environments to help protect employees from harsh conditions. To keep the workers safe, the enclosed operator cabs provide sound proofing, an emergency exit and tempered glass. Panoramic and dual rear view mirrors are available to improve driver visibility, especially of the part behind the forklift and the tail swing area. Impact monitors could be installed which disable the model and require a supervisor or manager to re-enable the truck. This can help to ensure that employees are operating machinery in a safe manner. To prevent forklifts from rolling when the driver intends to stop, an auto park brake is an optional feature which can be included. The park brake applied itself automatically when the unit comes to a complete stop.
Some 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 operator 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 can be used in work sites where sparks or arcs from electrical machinery may ignite airborne deposits.
