At Hyster, we have a diverse variety of lift trucks to suit all of your application needs. For instance, the J45-70XN features the Drop Battery Box and unique component design that allows this particular model to use pneumatic tires. Using the pneumatic tires allows for a smoother ride because of reduced vibrations even when the surfaces are bumpy. This electric forklift has 4,500 to 7,000 pound capacities for both indoor and outdoor work. The electric motor on these units allows them to be a great zero emissions alternatives to other engines. Hyster provides a line of three wheel trucks as well as four wheel lift trucks to suit work areas which require a tight turning radius. The J30-40XNT model is a three wheel lift truck which surpasses most other kinds of lift trucks in its ability to manoeuvre through tight spaces and turn sharp corners. This series of forklifts is great in congested or limited work areas, making loading and unloading safer and easier. This truck also features dual steering wheels to offer 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 unit offers a Zero Turning Radius axle which is generally a lot more comfortable when longer distances have to be covered.
There are many optional features and many standard features offered on all Hyster forklifts. The optional operator selectable performance mode will enable the driver to set up levels of performance from job to job. Further, it could allow a manager or supervisor to set the maximum level of performance when safety might be an issue, like for instance if a new driver is learning how to use the lift truck, helping the driver to learn in a more controlled way.
In certain environments, enclosed operator cabs could be a great option for protecting workers from harsh conditions. An emergency exit, tempered glass and sound proofing help to keep the employee safe. Dual and panoramic rear view mirrors are available to enhance driver visibility, specially of the tail swing area and the part behind the lift truck. Impact monitors can be installed which disable the unit and require a supervisor or manager to re-enable the forklift. This could help to make sure that employees are operating equipment safely. To prevent lift trucks from rolling when the driver intends to stop, an auto park brake is an optional feature which can be included. The park brake automatically applies itself when the forklift comes to a full stop.
Certain ratings may be required for various applications. The approved construction standards and in particular the UL GS, LPS, DS underwriter laboratory rating labels will tell the user whether the lift truck 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 forklift could be used in work areas where sparks or arcs from electrical equipment could ignite airborne deposits.
