To suit all of your application needs, Hyster carries a diverse array of forklifts. The J45-70XN for example includes a unique component design and a Drop Battery Box which will enable this particular model to use pneumatic tires. The pneumatic tires will allow for a smoother ride by lessening vibrations when the surfaces are bumpy. This type of electric forklift has 4,500 to 7,000 pound capacities for both indoor and outdoor work. The electric motor on these units allows them to be a great zero emissions options to other engines. Hyster provides a series of four wheel lift trucks as well as three wheel trucks to suit work spaces which need a tight turning radius. The J30-40XNT model is a three wheel lift truck that surpasses most other types of lift trucks in its ability to manoeuvre through tight spaces and turn sharp corners. This line of lift trucks is great in crowded or limited work areas, making both loading and unloading easier and safer. This kind of truck 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 provides a Zero Turning Radius axle that is generally 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 will enable the operator to set up performance levels from job to job. Further, it could enable a supervisor or manager to set the maximum performance level if safety might be an issue, like if a new driver is learning how to utilize the forklift, helping the driver to learn in a more controlled way.
Enclosed operator cabs might be a great alternative in some environments to help protect workers from harsh conditions. To keep the employees safe, the enclosed operator cabs provide an emergency exit, tempered glass and sound proofing. Dual and panoramic rear view mirrors are available to increase operator visibility, specially of the tail swing area and the part behind the forklift. Impact monitors could be installed that disable the model and need a supervisor or manager to re-enable the truck. This could help to ensure that employees are safely operating machinery. To prevent lift trucks from rolling when the driver intends to stop, an auto park brake is an optional feature that can be included. The park brake automatically applies itself when the unit comes to a full stop.
For various applications, some ratings might be needed. UL GS, LPS, DS underwriter laboratory rating label with approved construction standard tells the operator that the lift truck has been equipped with added resistance to spark creation. If there is an issue, there is a mechanical main battery disconnect. An EE UL rating means that the lift truck could be used in work sites where sparks or arcs from electrical equipment could ignite airborne deposits.
