At Hyster, we carry a diverse variety of lift trucks to suit all of your application requirements. For example, the J45-70XN features the Drop Battery Box and unique component design which allows this model to use pneumatic tires. Utilizing the pneumatic tires allows for a smoother ride due to reduced vibrations even when the surfaces are bumpy. This specific electric truck has 4,500 to 7,000 pound capacities for both outdoor and indoor work. These models' electric motor enables them to be a great zero emissions options to other engines. Hyster provides a series of four wheel lift trucks and three wheel trucks to suit work areas that need a tight turning radius. The J30-40XNT model is a three wheel forklift that surpasses most other kinds of forklifts in its ability to manoeuvre through tight spaces and turn sharp corners. This line of lift trucks is ideal in limited or crowded work areas, making loading and unloading easier and safer. This type of forklift also features dual steering wheels to offer 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 forklift. The four wheel design on this model offers a Zero Turning Radius axle that is generally more comfortable if longer distances need to be covered.
There are numerous optional features and many standard features provided on all Hyster forklifts. The optional operator selectable performance mode would allow the operator to set up levels of performance from job to job. Further, it could allow a supervisor or manager to set the maximum performance level when safety could be a concern, like helping the driver to learn in a more controlled way when a new operator is learning how to use the truck.
Enclosed operator cabs could be a good alternative in certain environments to help protect workers from harsh conditions. To keep the workers safe, the enclosed operator cabs provide tempered glass, sound proofing, and an emergency exit. Panoramic and dual rear view mirrors are available to increase operator visibility, particularly of the area behind the forklift and the tail swing area. Impact monitors can be installed which disable the model and require a manager or supervisor to re-enable the forklift. This can help to make sure that employees are operating machines in a safe manner. To prevent lift trucks 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 unit comes to a complete stop.
Some ratings may be needed for different applications. The approved construction standards and particularly the UL GS, LPS, DS underwriter laboratory rating labels would tell the driver whether the forklift 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 forklift can be utilized in work areas where arcs or sparks from electrical machines could ignite airborne deposits.
