To suit all of your application needs, Hyster carries a diverse range of lift trucks. The J45-70XN for instance has a unique component design and a Drop Battery Box that will enable this particular model to utilize pneumatic tires. The pneumatic tires would enable for a smoother ride by reducing vibrations if the surfaces are rough. This electric truck has 4,500 to 7,000 pound capacities for both outdoor and indoor work. The electric motor on these models enables them to be a great zero emissions options to other engines. Hyster offers a line of three wheel trucks as well as four wheel forklifts to suit work areas which need a tight turning radius. The J30-40XNT model is a three wheel lift truck which surpasses most other kinds of lift trucks in its ability to turn sharp corners and manoeuvre through tight spaces. This series of forklifts is suitable in limited or crowded work spaces, making unloading and loading easier and safer. This truck also features dual steering wheels to offer an even more stable and smooth ride. The J30-40XN unit is a four wheel forklift which has manoeuvrability very similar to a three wheel lift truck. The four wheel design on this specific unit provides a Zero Turning Radius axle which is generally a lot more comfortable when longer distances have 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 performance levels from job to job. Further, it can enable a supervisor or manager to set the maximum level of performance when safety might be a concern, like helping the operator to learn in a more controlled way if a new operator is learning how to use the forklift.
In certain environments, enclosed operator cabs might be a good option for protecting workers from harsh conditions. Sound proofing, an emergency exit and tempered glass help to keep the worker safe. Panoramic and dual rear view mirrors are available to enhance driver visibility, specially of the area behind the forklift and the tail swing area. Impact monitors can be installed that disable the unit and need a supervisor or manager to re-enable the lift truck. This could help to make certain that workers are safely operating equipment. To prevent lift trucks from rolling when the operator intends to stop, an auto park brake is an optional feature that could be included. The park brake automatically applies itself when the unit comes to a full stop.
Certain ratings might be required for various applications. The approved construction standards and particularly the UL GS, LPS, DS underwriter laboratory rating labels will tell the operator whether the lift truck 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 can be used in work areas where arcs or sparks from electrical machinery can ignite airborne deposits.
