At Hyster, we have a diverse array of lift trucks to meet all of your application requirements. Like for instance, the J45-70XN has the Drop Battery Box and unique component design that enables this unit to utilize pneumatic tires. Utilizing the pneumatic tires allows for a smoother ride due to less vibrations even when the surfaces are bumpy. This type of electric forklift has 4,500 to 7,000 pound capacities for both outdoor and indoor jobs. The electric motor on these models enables them to be a great zero emissions options to other engines. Hyster offers a series of three wheel trucks and four wheel lift trucks to suit work spaces which need a tight turning radius. The J30-40XNT model is a three wheel lift truck which surpasses most other lift trucks in its ability to turn sharp corners and manoeuvre through tight spaces. This line of lift trucks is great in limited or crowded work areas, making both unloading and loading easier and safer. This type of truck also features dual steering wheels to offer an even more stable and smooth 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 that is generally more comfortable when longer distances need to be covered.
Many features come standard on all Hyster forklifts, but there are a lot of optional features available as well. The operator selectable performance mode option lets the operator set the performance level needed on a job to job basis. Further, it can allow a manager or supervisor to set the maximum performance level if safety could be a concern, such as helping the driver to learn in a more controlled way when a new driver is learning how to use the forklift.
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 sound proofing, an emergency exit and tempered glass. Panoramic and dual rear view mirrors are available to enhance driver visibility, particularly of the area behind the truck and the tail swing area. Impact monitors could be installed which disable the unit and require a supervisor or manager to re-enable the truck. This can help to ensure that employees are operating equipment in a safe manner. To prevent lift trucks from rolling when the driver intends to stop, an auto park brake is an optional feature which can be added. The park brake automatically applies itself when the unit comes to a complete stop.
For different applications, some ratings might be needed. UL GS, LPS, DS underwriter laboratory rating label with approved construction standard tells the user that the lift truck has been outfitted with added resistance to spark creation. If there is a concern, there is a mechanical main battery disconnect. An EE UL rating means that the forklift could be utilized in work areas where sparks or arcs from electrical machines could ignite airborne deposits.
