At Hyster, we carry a diverse range of forklifts to meet all of your application requirements. For example, the J45-70XN includes the unique component design and Drop Battery Box which allows this particular unit to utilize pneumatic tires. Using the pneumatic tires allows for a smoother ride because of reduced vibrations even if the surfaces are rough. This type of electric forklift has 4,500 to 7,000 pound capacities for tasks done both indoors and outdoors. These units' electric motor enables them to be a great zero emissions options to different other engines. Hyster provides a series of three wheel forklifts and four wheel forklifts to suit work areas that need a tight turning radius. The J30-40XNT unit is a three wheel forklift that surpasses most other forklifts in its ability to turn sharp corners and manoeuvre through confined spaces. This series of forklifts is suitable in limited or congested work spaces, making both unloading and loading easier and safer. This forklift also features dual steering wheels to give an even more stable and smooth ride. The J30-40XN unit is a four wheel forklift that has manoeuvrability very similar to a three wheel truck. The four wheel design on this specific unit provides a Zero Turning Radius axle that is generally more comfortable if longer distances need to be covered.
Numerous features come standard on all Hyster lift trucks, but there are many optional features available too. The operator selectable performance mode option allows the driver set the level of performance required on a job to job basis. Further, it could allow a manager or supervisor to set the maximum performance level if safety could be an issue, like for example if a new operator is learning how to use the truck, helping the driver to learn in a more controlled way.
Enclosed operator cabs might be a good option in some environments to help protect employees from harsh conditions. To keep the employees safe, the enclosed operator cabs provide tempered glass, sound proofing, and an emergency exit. Dual and panoramic rear view mirrors are available to enhance driver visibility, particularly of the tail swing area and the area behind the forklift. Impact monitors can be installed which disable the unit and require a manager or supervisor to re-enable the truck. This could help to ensure that employees are safely operating machines. To prevent lift trucks from rolling when the operator intends to stop, an auto park brake is an optional feature that could be added. The park brake automatically applies itself when the lift truck comes to a full stop.
For various applications, certain ratings may be needed. UL GS, LPS, DS underwriter laboratory rating label with approved construction standard tells the driver that the lift truck has been 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 can be utilized in work areas where sparks or arcs from electrical machines could ignite airborne deposits.
