At Hyster, we have a diverse array of forklifts to meet all of your application needs. Like for example, the J45-70XN has the unique component design and Drop Battery Box that allows this model to use pneumatic tires. Using the pneumatic tires allows for a smoother ride because of less vibrations even when the surfaces are bumpy. This specific electric truck has 4,500 to 7,000 pound capacities for both indoor and outdoor work. The electric motor on these models enables them to be a great zero emissions options to various other engines. Hyster offers a series of three wheel forklifts and four wheel forklifts to suit work spaces which need a tight turning radius. The J30-40XNT model is a three wheel lift truck which surpasses most other kinds of forklifts in its ability to turn sharp corners and manoeuvre through tight spaces. This line of forklifts is suitable in congested or limited work spaces, making both unloading and loading easier and safer. This kind of forklift also features dual steering wheels to provide an even more stable and smooth ride. The J30-40XN model is a four wheel forklift that has manoeuvrability very similar to a three wheel truck. The four wheel design on this model provides a Zero Turning Radius axle that is normally much more comfortable if longer distances have to be covered.
There are many optional features and many standard features offered on all Hyster forklifts. The optional operator selectable performance mode will allow the driver 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 might be a concern, such as when a new driver is learning how to use the truck, helping the operator to learn in a more controlled way.
Enclosed operator cabs could be a good option in certain 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. Panoramic and dual rear view mirrors are available to enhance driver visibility, specially of the part behind the 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 truck. This can help to make certain that employees are safely operating equipment. To prevent lift trucks from rolling when the operator intends to stop, an auto park brake is an optional feature which could be included. The park brake applied itself automatically when the unit comes to a complete stop.
Certain ratings might be required for different applications. The approved construction standards and in particular the UL GS, LPS, DS underwriter laboratory rating labels would tell the user whether the forklift 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 lift truck could be utilized in work areas where sparks or arcs from electrical machines could ignite airborne deposits.
