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