At Hyster, we have a diverse variety of forklifts to suit all of your application needs. For example, the J45-70XN has the Drop Battery Box and unique component design which enables this particular model to use pneumatic tires. The use of the pneumatic tires allows for a smoother ride due to reduced vibrations even if the surfaces are rough. This particular electric truck has 4,500 to 7,000 pound capacities for jobs performed both outdoors and indoors. The electric motor on these units allows them to be a great zero emissions alternatives to various other engines. Hyster offers a series of three wheel lift trucks 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 forklift that surpasses nearly all other kinds of forklifts in its ability to turn sharp corners and manoeuvre through confined spaces. This series of forklifts is great in limited or crowded work spaces, making both unloading and loading safer and easier. This truck also features dual steering wheels to provide an even smoother and more stable ride. The J30-40XN unit is a four wheel lift truck which has manoeuvrability really similar to a three wheel truck. The four wheel design on this specific model provides a Zero Turning Radius axle that is generally much more comfortable if longer distances have to be covered.
There are lots of optional features and many standard features provided on all Hyster lift trucks. The optional operator selectable performance mode would enable the driver to set up performance levels from job to job. Further, it can enable a manager or supervisor to set the maximum performance level when safety might be an issue, such as when a new driver is learning how to use the lift truck, helping the operator to learn in a more controlled way.
Enclosed operator cabs might be a good alternative in certain environments to help protect workers from harsh conditions. To keep the employees safe, the enclosed operator cabs provide an emergency exit, tempered glass and sound proofing. Dual and panoramic rear view mirrors are available to increase operator visibility, particularly of the part behind the forklift and the tail swing area. Impact monitors could be installed which disable the unit and require a manager or supervisor to re-enable the lift truck. This can help to make sure that employees are operating equipment safely. To prevent forklifts from rolling when the operator 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 complete stop.
Certain ratings might be required for different applications. The approved construction standards and in particular the UL GS, LPS, DS underwriter laboratory rating labels will tell the operator whether the unit 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 lift truck can be utilized in work areas where arcs or sparks from electrical machinery could ignite airborne deposits.
