At Hyster, we have a diverse variety of forklifts to meet all of your application requirements. For instance, the J45-70XN features the unique component design and Drop Battery Box that enables this model to use pneumatic tires. Using the pneumatic tires enables for a smoother ride due to less vibrations even if the surfaces are bumpy. This type of electric truck has 4,500 to 7,000 pound capacities for jobs performed both outdoors and indoors. These units' electric motor allows them to be a great zero emissions alternatives to various other engines. Hyster offers a series of four wheel forklifts as well as three wheel forklifts to suit work spaces which require a tight turning radius. The J30-40XNT unit is a three wheel forklift which surpasses most other lift trucks in its ability to turn sharp corners and manoeuvre through tight spaces. This line of lift trucks is suitable in limited or congested work areas, making both unloading and loading safer and easier. This type of forklift also features dual steering wheels to provide an even smoother and more stable ride. The J30-40XN model is a four wheel forklift that has manoeuvrability very similar to a three wheel forklift. The four wheel design on this specific model provides a Zero Turning Radius axle that is usually more comfortable if longer distances have to be covered.
There are numerous optional features and numerous standard features offered 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 can enable a manager or supervisor to set the maximum performance level if safety could be an issue, such as helping the operator to learn in a more controlled way when a new driver is learning how to utilize the truck.
Enclosed operator cabs might be a good option in certain environments to help protect employees from harsh conditions. To keep the workers safe, the enclosed operator cabs provide sound proofing, an emergency exit and tempered glass. Panoramic and dual rear view mirrors are available to improve operator visibility, particularly of the area behind the lift truck and the tail swing area. Impact monitors could be installed which disable the model and need a supervisor or manager to re-enable the forklift. This could help to ensure that employees are safely operating equipment. To prevent forklifts from rolling when the driver intends to stop, an auto park brake is an optional feature that could be included. The park brake applied itself automatically when the forklift comes to a full stop.
Certain ratings may be required for different applications. The approved construction standards and particularly the UL GS, LPS, DS underwriter laboratory rating labels will tell the operator whether the unit is outfitted 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 used in work areas where arcs or sparks from electrical machines can ignite airborne deposits.
