At Hyster, we have a diverse range of forklifts to suit all of your application requirements. Like for example, the J45-70XN includes the unique component design and Drop Battery Box that enables this particular unit to utilize pneumatic tires. Using the pneumatic tires allows for a smoother ride because of 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 models enables them to be a great zero emissions options to various other engines. Hyster offers a series of three wheel forklifts as well as four wheel lift trucks to suit work spaces that need a tight turning radius. The J30-40XNT unit is a three wheel lift truck which surpasses nearly all other lift trucks in its ability to turn sharp corners and manoeuvre through tight spaces. This line of lift trucks is suitable in limited or crowded work spaces, making both unloading and loading safer and easier. This kind of truck also features dual steering wheels to offer an even smoother and more stable ride. The J30-40XN unit is a four wheel forklift which has manoeuvrability really similar to a three wheel lift truck. The four wheel design on this particular unit offers a Zero Turning Radius axle which is usually more comfortable if longer distances need to be covered.
There are a lot of optional features and a lot of standard features provided on all Hyster forklifts. The optional operator selectable performance mode would enable the operator to set up levels of performance from job to job. Further, it can enable a manager or supervisor to set the maximum performance level when safety might be a concern, such as helping the operator to learn in a more controlled way if a new driver is learning how to utilize the lift truck.
Enclosed operator cabs might be a good option in some environments to help protect employees from harsh conditions. To keep the workers safe, the enclosed operator cabs provide sound proofing, an emergency exit and tempered glass. Panoramic and dual rear view mirrors are available to enhance driver visibility, particularly of the part behind the truck and the tail swing area. Impact monitors could be installed that disable the model and need a manager or supervisor to re-enable the truck. This can help to ensure that employees are safely operating machinery. To prevent units from rolling when the driver intends to stop, an auto park brake is an optional feature that could be added. The park brake applied itself automatically when the forklift comes to a complete stop.
Some ratings may be needed for various applications. The approved construction standards and in particular the UL GS, LPS, DS underwriter laboratory rating labels will tell the driver whether the forklift is outfitted 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 lift truck could be used in work sites where arcs or sparks from electrical machines could ignite airborne deposits.
