To meet all of your application needs, Hyster has a diverse range of forklifts. The J45-70XN for example has a Drop Battery Box and a unique component design which will enable this model to use pneumatic tires. The pneumatic tires would allow for a smoother ride by reducing vibrations if the surfaces are rough. This kind of electric truck has 4,500 to 7,000 pound capacities for both indoor and outdoor work. The electric motor on these models enables them to be a great zero emissions options to different other engines. Hyster offers a series of four wheel forklifts as well as three wheel trucks to suit work areas that require a tight turning radius. The J30-40XNT model is a three wheel lift truck that surpasses most other types of lift trucks in its ability to manoeuvre through confined spaces and turn sharp corners. This series of forklifts is ideal in limited or crowded work areas, making both unloading and loading safer and easier. This kind of lift truck also features dual steering wheels to provide an even more stable and smooth ride. The J30-40XN unit is a four wheel lift truck which has manoeuvrability very similar to a three wheel lift truck. The four wheel design on this model offers a Zero Turning Radius axle that is generally much more comfortable if longer distances have to be covered.
A lot of features come standard on all Hyster lift trucks, but there are lots 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 can enable a supervisor or manager to set the maximum level of performance if safety could be a concern, such as when a new operator is learning how to use the forklift, helping the driver to learn in a more controlled way.
In some environments, enclosed operator cabs could be a great 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 driver visibility, specially of the area behind the truck and the tail swing area. Impact monitors could be installed that disable the unit and require a supervisor or manager to re-enable the forklift. This can help to ensure that employees are safely operating machinery. To prevent units from rolling when the operator intends to stop, an auto park brake is an optional feature which could be included. The park brake applied itself automatically when the forklift comes to a complete stop.
Certain ratings may be needed for various applications. The approved construction standards and in particular the UL GS, LPS, DS underwriter laboratory rating labels will tell the driver whether the forklift is equipped with added resistance to spark creation. If there is a problem, there is a mechanical main battery disconnect. An EE UL rating means that the lift truck could be used in work areas where arcs or sparks from electrical equipment could ignite airborne deposits.
