At Hyster, we carry a diverse array of lift trucks to suit all of your application requirements. Like for example, the J45-70XN includes the Drop Battery Box and unique component design which allows this particular model to use pneumatic tires. The use of the pneumatic tires allows for a smoother ride because of less vibrations even if the surfaces are bumpy. This electric lift truck has 4,500 to 7,000 pound capacities for jobs performed both indoors and outdoors. The electric motor on these models enables them to be a great zero emissions alternatives to other engines. Hyster offers a series of four wheel forklifts and three wheel forklifts to suit work areas which need a tight turning radius. The J30-40XNT unit is a three wheel forklift that surpasses nearly all other lift trucks in its ability to manoeuvre through confined spaces and turn sharp corners. This line of lift trucks is suitable in congested or limited work spaces, making loading and unloading safer and easier. This truck also features dual steering wheels to offer an even smoother and more stable ride. The J30-40XN model is a four wheel lift truck which has manoeuvrability very similar to a three wheel lift truck. The four wheel design on this model offers a Zero Turning Radius axle that is usually more comfortable when longer distances need to be covered.
There are numerous optional features and many standard features offered on all Hyster lift trucks. The optional operator selectable performance mode will enable the driver to set up performance levels from job to job. Further, it could enable a manager or supervisor to set the maximum level of performance if safety might be an issue, like for example helping the driver to learn in a more controlled way when a new operator is learning how to use the forklift.
In some environments, enclosed operator cabs could be a great alternative for protecting employees from harsh conditions. Sound proofing, an emergency exit and tempered glass help to keep the employee safe. Panoramic and dual rear view mirrors are available to enhance driver visibility, particularly of the tail swing area and the part behind the truck. Impact monitors could be installed which disable the unit and need a supervisor or manager to re-enable the lift truck. This can help to make certain that workers 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 could be included. The park brake automatically applies itself when the forklift comes to a complete stop.
For various applications, certain ratings might be needed. UL GS, LPS, DS underwriter laboratory rating label with approved construction standard tells the driver that the forklift has been outfitted 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 can be used in work sites where arcs or sparks from electrical machines could ignite airborne deposits.
