To meet all of your application needs, Hyster has a diverse array of forklifts. The J45-70XN for example has a Drop Battery Box and a unique component design that would allow this unit to use pneumatic tires. The pneumatic tires will allow for a smoother ride by reducing vibrations if the surfaces are rough. This electric forklift has 4,500 to 7,000 pound capacities for both indoor and outdoor jobs. The electric motor on these units allows them to be a great zero emissions options to various other engines. Hyster offers a series of four wheel forklifts and three wheel lift trucks to suit work areas which require a tight turning radius. The J30-40XNT unit is a three wheel lift truck that surpasses nearly all 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 spaces, making unloading and loading easier and safer. This kind of lift truck also features dual steering wheels to provide an even smoother and more stable ride. The J30-40XN model is a four wheel forklift which has manoeuvrability very similar to a three wheel forklift. The four wheel design on this model provides a Zero Turning Radius axle which is usually a lot more comfortable when longer distances need to be covered.
There are a lot of optional features and lots of standard features offered on all Hyster lift trucks. The optional operator selectable performance mode would allow the operator to set up performance levels from job to job. Further, it can allow a supervisor or manager to set the maximum level of performance when safety could be an issue, such as helping the driver to learn in a more controlled way if a new operator is learning how to use the forklift.
Enclosed operator cabs might be a great alternative in some environments to help protect employees from harsh conditions. To keep the workers safe, the enclosed operator cabs provide tempered glass, sound proofing, and an emergency exit. Dual and panoramic rear view mirrors are available to enhance operator visibility, particularly of the tail swing area and the part behind the lift truck. Impact monitors can be installed that disable the model and require a supervisor or manager to re-enable the forklift. This can help to ensure that employees are operating machines in a safe manner. To prevent units from rolling when the operator intends to stop, an auto park brake is an optional feature which can be included. The park brake automatically applies itself when the lift truck comes to a full stop.
For different applications, certain ratings may be required. UL GS, LPS, DS underwriter laboratory rating label with approved construction standard tells the user that the unit has been 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 lift truck can be utilized in work areas where sparks or arcs from electrical equipment can ignite airborne deposits.
