At Hyster, we have a diverse variety of lift trucks to suit all of your application requirements. For instance, the J45-70XN features the Drop Battery Box and unique component design that allows this model to utilize pneumatic tires. The use of the pneumatic tires allows for a smoother ride because of reduced vibrations even if the surfaces are bumpy. This type of electric truck has 4,500 to 7,000 pound capacities for both outdoor and indoor work. The electric motor on these models enables them to be a great zero emissions options to other engines. Hyster offers a series of three wheel forklifts and four wheel lift trucks to suit work spaces which require a tight turning radius. The J30-40XNT model is a three wheel forklift which surpasses most other 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 both unloading and loading safer and easier. This type of truck also features dual steering wheels to provide an even smoother and more stable ride. The J30-40XN model is a four wheel forklift that has manoeuvrability really similar to a three wheel forklift. The four wheel design on this particular model provides a Zero Turning Radius axle that is generally a lot more comfortable if longer distances have to be covered.
A lot of features come standard on all Hyster forklifts, but there are numerous optional features available too. The operator selectable performance mode option lets the operator set the level of performance required on a job to job basis. Further, it can allow a manager or supervisor to set the maximum level of performance when safety could be an issue, like for instance helping the driver to learn in a more controlled way if a new driver is learning how to utilize the truck.
In some environments, enclosed operator cabs could be a good option for protecting workers from harsh conditions. Tempered glass, sound proofing, and an emergency exit help to keep the worker safe. Panoramic and dual rear view mirrors are available to improve driver visibility, especially of the tail swing area and the area behind the forklift. Impact monitors could be installed that disable the model and require a manager or supervisor to re-enable the forklift. This can help to ensure that workers are safely operating machines. To prevent units from rolling when the driver intends to stop, an auto park brake is an optional feature that could be included. The park brake automatically applies itself when the lift truck 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 will tell the driver whether the lift truck is equipped with added resistance to spark creation. If there is a concern, there is a mechanical main battery disconnect. An EE UL rating means that the forklift could be used in work sites where arcs or sparks from electrical machinery might ignite airborne deposits.
