At Hyster, we have a diverse variety of lift trucks to suit all of your application needs. For instance, the J45-70XN features the unique component design and Drop Battery Box that allows this unit to use pneumatic tires. Using the pneumatic tires allows for a smoother ride due to less vibrations even if the surfaces are rough. This kind of electric forklift has 4,500 to 7,000 pound capacities for both outdoor and indoor work. These units' electric motor allows them to be a great zero emissions alternatives to other engines. Hyster provides a line of three wheel trucks and four wheel lift trucks to suit work spaces that need a tight turning radius. The J30-40XNT model is a three wheel forklift that surpasses nearly all other forklifts in its ability to manoeuvre through confined spaces and turn sharp corners. This line of lift trucks is suitable in crowded or limited work spaces, making both unloading and loading easier and safer. This kind 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 which has manoeuvrability very similar to a three wheel lift truck. The four wheel design on this particular unit provides a Zero Turning Radius axle which is usually much more comfortable when longer distances need to be covered.
There are numerous optional features and a lot of standard features provided on all Hyster forklifts. The optional operator selectable performance mode would allow the driver to set up levels of performance from job to job. Further, it can allow a manager or supervisor to set the maximum performance level if safety could be an issue, such as if a new driver is learning how to utilize the lift truck, helping the operator to learn in a more controlled way.
In some environments, enclosed operator cabs could be a great alternative for protecting workers from harsh conditions. Tempered glass, sound proofing, and an emergency exit help to keep the employee safe. Dual and panoramic rear view mirrors are available to increase driver visibility, especially of the part behind the lift truck and the tail swing area. Impact monitors can be installed that disable the unit and need a supervisor or manager to re-enable the truck. This could help to ensure that employees are safely operating machinery. To prevent lift trucks from rolling when the driver intends to stop, an auto park brake is an optional feature which could be included. The park brake automatically applies itself when the forklift comes to a full stop.
For different applications, some ratings may be needed. UL GS, LPS, DS underwriter laboratory rating label with approved construction standard tells the operator that the lift truck has been 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 forklift can be used in work sites where arcs or sparks from electrical equipment might ignite airborne deposits.
