At Hyster, we have a diverse variety of lift trucks to meet all of your application needs. Like for instance, the J45-70XN features the unique component design and Drop Battery Box that enables this particular unit to use pneumatic tires. Utilizing the pneumatic tires enables for a smoother ride due to less vibrations even if the surfaces are rough. This type of electric lift truck has 4,500 to 7,000 pound capacities for both indoor and outdoor work. The electric motor on these units enables them to be a great zero emissions options to other engines. Hyster offers a series of three wheel trucks and four wheel forklifts to suit work spaces which need a tight turning radius. The J30-40XNT model is a three wheel forklift which surpasses most other kinds of lift trucks in its ability to turn sharp corners and manoeuvre through tight spaces. This series of forklifts is great in limited or congested work spaces, making loading and unloading safer and easier. This type 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 really similar to a three wheel forklift. The four wheel design on this specific unit offers a Zero Turning Radius axle which is normally much more comfortable when longer distances have to be covered.
Lots of features come standard on all Hyster forklifts, but there are many optional features available too. The operator selectable performance mode option lets the operator set the level of performance needed on a job to job basis. Further, it could allow a supervisor or manager to set the maximum level of performance if safety might be a concern, like if a new driver is learning how to use the truck, helping the driver to learn in a more controlled way.
In some environments, enclosed operator cabs could be a great option for protecting workers from harsh conditions. Sound proofing, an emergency exit and tempered glass help to keep the worker safe. Dual and panoramic rear view mirrors are available to improve operator visibility, particularly of the tail swing area and the area behind the lift truck. Impact monitors could be installed which disable the model and require a supervisor or manager to re-enable the forklift. This can help to ensure that workers are operating machinery safely. To prevent lift trucks from rolling when the driver 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 full stop.
For different applications, certain ratings might be required. UL GS, LPS, DS underwriter laboratory rating label with approved construction standard tells the driver that the forklift has been 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 used in work areas where sparks or arcs from electrical machinery may ignite airborne deposits.
