At Hyster, we carry a diverse variety of forklifts to suit all of your application needs. Like for instance, the J45-70XN includes the unique component design and Drop Battery Box which allows this particular model to utilize pneumatic tires. Using the pneumatic tires enables for a smoother ride due to less vibrations even if the surfaces are rough. This kind of electric truck has 4,500 to 7,000 pound capacities for both indoor and outdoor work. These models' electric motor enables them to be a great zero emissions options to other engines. Hyster offers a line of three wheel lift trucks and four wheel lift trucks to suit work areas which need a tight turning radius. The J30-40XNT model is a three wheel lift truck that surpasses most other kinds of forklifts in its ability to turn sharp corners and manoeuvre through confined spaces. This line of lift trucks is ideal in limited or crowded work spaces, making both unloading and loading easier and safer. This lift truck also features dual steering wheels to offer an even smoother and more stable ride. The J30-40XN unit is a four wheel lift truck that has manoeuvrability very 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 have to be covered.
Many features come standard on all Hyster forklifts, but there are numerous optional features available as well. The operator selectable performance mode option allows the driver set the level of performance needed on a job to job basis. Further, it could allow a supervisor or manager to set the maximum performance level if safety could be a concern, like for example helping the driver to learn in a more controlled way if a new operator is learning how to use the forklift.
Enclosed operator cabs could be a good alternative in some environments to help protect employees 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 increase driver visibility, especially of the tail swing area and the area behind the lift truck. Impact monitors can be installed that disable the unit and require a supervisor or manager to re-enable the truck. This can help to ensure that employees are operating equipment safely. To prevent forklifts from rolling when the driver intends to stop, an auto park brake is an optional feature that can be included. The park brake applied itself automatically when the forklift comes to a full stop.
For different applications, some ratings may be needed. UL GS, LPS, DS underwriter laboratory rating label with approved construction standard tells the user that the unit has been equipped 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 lift truck can be used in work sites where sparks or arcs from electrical machines may ignite airborne deposits.
