To meet all of your application needs, Hyster has a diverse variety of lift trucks. The J45-70XN for instance has a unique component design and a Drop Battery Box that would allow this unit to use pneumatic tires. The pneumatic tires will allow for a smoother ride by lessening vibrations if the surfaces are rough. This electric lift truck has 4,500 to 7,000 pound capacities for tasks performed both indoors and outdoors. The electric motor on these models allows them to be a great zero emissions alternatives to other engines. Hyster provides a series of three wheel forklifts as well as four wheel lift trucks to suit work areas which require a tight turning radius. The J30-40XNT unit is a three wheel forklift that surpasses most other lift trucks in its ability to manoeuvre through tight spaces and turn sharp corners. This line of lift trucks is ideal in crowded or limited work areas, making both unloading and loading safer and easier. This type of forklift also features dual steering wheels to give an even more stable and smooth ride. The J30-40XN model is a four wheel lift truck that has manoeuvrability really similar to a three wheel forklift. The four wheel design on this specific unit offers a Zero Turning Radius axle which is generally more comfortable when longer distances need to be covered.
Many features come standard on all Hyster lift trucks, but there are a lot of optional features available as well. The operator selectable performance mode option enables the operator set the level of performance needed on a job to job basis. Further, it could allow a manager or supervisor to set the maximum level of performance if safety could be a concern, like for example when a new driver is learning how to use the lift truck, helping the operator to learn in a more controlled way.
In certain environments, enclosed operator cabs could be a good alternative for protecting workers from harsh conditions. Sound proofing, an emergency exit and tempered glass help to keep the employee safe. Dual and panoramic rear view mirrors are available to increase operator visibility, specially of the tail swing area and the part behind the truck. Impact monitors could be installed which disable the model and require a manager or supervisor to re-enable the truck. This can help to make sure that employees are safely operating equipment. To prevent units from rolling when the operator intends to stop, an auto park brake is an optional feature which could be added. The park brake automatically applies itself when the lift truck comes to a complete stop.
Certain ratings might be required for different applications. The approved construction standards and particularly the UL GS, LPS, DS underwriter laboratory rating labels would 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 utilized in work areas where sparks or arcs from electrical machinery could ignite airborne deposits.
