At Hyster, we have a diverse array of forklifts to meet all of your application needs. Like for example, the J45-70XN includes the unique component design and Drop Battery Box which allows this particular unit to utilize pneumatic tires. Utilizing the pneumatic tires allows for a smoother ride due to reduced vibrations even if the surfaces are bumpy. This kind of electric forklift has 4,500 to 7,000 pound capacities for both outdoor and indoor jobs. These units' electric motor allows them to be a great zero emissions alternatives to other engines. Hyster offers a line of three wheel trucks as well as four wheel forklifts to suit work areas that need a tight turning radius. The J30-40XNT unit is a three wheel forklift that surpasses nearly all other lift trucks in its ability to turn sharp corners and manoeuvre through tight spaces. This series of lift trucks is great in crowded or limited work areas, making loading and unloading easier and safer. This kind of forklift also features dual steering wheels to give an even more stable and smooth ride. The J30-40XN unit is a four wheel lift truck that has manoeuvrability very similar to a three wheel lift truck. The four wheel design on this particular unit offers a Zero Turning Radius axle that is generally a lot more comfortable when longer distances need to be covered.
There are many optional features and numerous standard features provided on all Hyster forklifts. The optional operator selectable performance mode would allow the operator to set up performance levels from job to job. Further, it could allow a manager or supervisor to set the maximum performance level if safety might be a concern, like 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 could be a great option in some environments to help protect employees from harsh conditions. To keep the employees 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, specially of the tail swing area and the part behind the truck. Impact monitors could be installed that disable the model and require a manager or supervisor to re-enable the forklift. This can help to make certain 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 added. The park brake applied itself automatically when the lift truck comes to a full stop.
Certain ratings may be required for different applications. The approved construction standards and in particular the UL GS, LPS, DS underwriter laboratory rating labels would tell the driver whether the lift truck is equipped 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 areas where arcs or sparks from electrical machinery could ignite airborne deposits.
