To suit all of your application needs, Hyster carries a diverse range of lift trucks. The J45-70XN for instance includes a unique component design and a Drop Battery Box that would allow this particular unit to utilize pneumatic tires. The pneumatic tires will allow for a smoother ride by reducing vibrations when the surfaces are bumpy. This particular electric forklift has 4,500 to 7,000 pound capacities for both outdoor and indoor jobs. These models' electric motor enables them to be a great zero emissions alternatives to various other engines. Hyster offers a series of four wheel lift trucks and three wheel lift trucks to suit work areas that need a tight turning radius. The J30-40XNT unit is a three wheel forklift which surpasses nearly all other forklifts in its ability to turn sharp corners and manoeuvre through tight spaces. This series of lift trucks is suitable in limited or congested work areas, making both loading and unloading safer and easier. This truck also features dual steering wheels to give an even more stable and smooth ride. The J30-40XN model is a four wheel forklift that has manoeuvrability very similar to a three wheel truck. The four wheel design on this model offers a Zero Turning Radius axle that is generally more comfortable when longer distances need to be covered.
Lots of features come standard on all Hyster lift trucks, but there are numerous optional features available too. The operator selectable performance mode option lets the driver set the level of performance required on a job to job basis. Further, it can enable a manager or supervisor to set the maximum level of performance if safety could be a concern, like when a new driver is learning how to use the forklift, helping the operator to learn in a more controlled way.
In certain environments, enclosed operator cabs might be a great option for protecting employees from harsh conditions. An emergency exit, tempered glass and sound proofing help to keep the worker safe. Dual and panoramic rear view mirrors are available to enhance driver visibility, particularly of the area behind the lift truck and the tail swing area. Impact monitors can be installed that disable the model and require a supervisor or manager to re-enable the forklift. This could help to ensure that workers are safely operating machines. To prevent units from rolling when the operator intends to stop, an auto park brake is an optional feature which can be included. The park brake applied itself automatically when the unit comes to a full stop.
Some ratings may be needed for different applications. The approved construction standards and in particular the UL GS, LPS, DS underwriter laboratory rating labels would tell the user whether the forklift is outfitted 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 can be utilized in work sites where sparks or arcs from electrical equipment might ignite airborne deposits.
