To meet all of your application needs, Hyster carries a diverse variety of lift trucks. The J45-70XN for example has a Drop Battery Box and a unique component design that will enable this particular model to utilize pneumatic tires. The pneumatic tires would allow for a smoother ride by lessening vibrations when the surfaces are bumpy. This particular electric forklift has 4,500 to 7,000 pound capacities for jobs performed both outdoors and indoors. These units' electric motor enables them to be a great zero emissions options to other engines. Hyster offers a line of three wheel trucks as well as four wheel forklifts to suit work spaces that require a tight turning radius. The J30-40XNT unit is a three wheel lift truck which surpasses nearly all other forklifts in its ability to turn sharp corners and manoeuvre through tight spaces. This line of lift trucks is great in limited or congested work areas, making both unloading and loading safer and easier. This forklift also features dual steering wheels to provide an even smoother and more stable ride. The J30-40XN unit is a four wheel lift truck that has manoeuvrability very similar to a three wheel lift truck. The four wheel design on this particular model provides a Zero Turning Radius axle which is generally much more comfortable if longer distances need to be covered.
There are many optional features and many standard features provided on all Hyster forklifts. The optional operator selectable performance mode will allow the operator to set up levels of performance from job to job. Further, it could allow a supervisor or manager to set the maximum level of performance when safety might be a concern, like for instance when a new operator is learning how to use the lift truck, helping the driver to learn in a more controlled way.
Enclosed operator cabs might be a good option in some environments to help protect employees 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 driver visibility, especially of the part behind the truck and the tail swing area. Impact monitors can be installed that disable the model and need a manager or supervisor to re-enable the lift truck. This can help to ensure that workers are safely operating machines. To prevent forklifts 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 lift truck comes to a full stop.
Certain ratings might be needed for various applications. The approved construction standards and in particular the UL GS, LPS, DS underwriter laboratory rating labels will tell the operator whether the forklift is equipped 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 lift truck could be used in work areas where arcs or sparks from electrical equipment may ignite airborne deposits.
