At Hyster, we carry a diverse range of forklifts to suit all of your application needs. For example, the J45-70XN includes the Drop Battery Box and unique component design which allows this particular unit to use pneumatic tires. The use of the pneumatic tires enables for a smoother ride due to reduced vibrations even if the surfaces are bumpy. This particular electric lift truck has 4,500 to 7,000 pound capacities for both outdoor and indoor jobs. These models' electric motor allows them to be a great zero emissions alternatives to different other engines. Hyster offers a line of three wheel forklifts as well as four wheel forklifts to suit work spaces which require a tight turning radius. The J30-40XNT unit is a three wheel lift truck that surpasses most other lift trucks in its ability to manoeuvre through confined spaces and turn sharp corners. This line of forklifts is ideal in limited or crowded work spaces, making both loading and unloading safer and easier. This forklift also features dual steering wheels to give an even more stable and smooth ride. The J30-40XN model is a four wheel forklift which has manoeuvrability really similar to a three wheel lift truck. The four wheel design on this model offers a Zero Turning Radius axle which is usually more comfortable if longer distances need to be covered.
Lots of features come standard on all Hyster lift trucks, but there are many 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 enable a manager or supervisor to set the maximum performance level if safety could be an issue, such as helping the driver to learn in a more controlled way if a new driver is learning how to use the forklift.
Enclosed operator cabs might be a great option in some environments to help protect workers from harsh conditions. To keep the workers safe, the enclosed operator cabs provide tempered glass, sound proofing, and an emergency exit. Panoramic and dual rear view mirrors are available to increase operator visibility, particularly of the tail swing area and the part behind the forklift. Impact monitors can be installed which disable the model and require a supervisor or manager to re-enable the truck. This can help to make sure that employees are safely operating equipment. To prevent units from rolling when the driver intends to stop, an auto park brake is an optional feature that could be added. The park brake automatically applies itself when the forklift comes to a complete stop.
Certain ratings may be needed for various applications. The approved construction standards and particularly the UL GS, LPS, DS underwriter laboratory rating labels would tell the user whether the unit 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 areas where arcs or sparks from electrical machines could ignite airborne deposits.
