At Hyster, we carry a diverse variety of lift trucks to meet all of your application needs. For example, the J45-70XN features the Drop Battery Box and unique component design which allows this particular model to use pneumatic tires. Using the pneumatic tires allows for a smoother ride because of less vibrations even if the surfaces are bumpy. This type of electric forklift has 4,500 to 7,000 pound capacities for both outdoor and indoor work. The electric motor on these units enables them to be a great zero emissions alternatives to other engines. Hyster provides a line of three wheel lift trucks as well as four wheel forklifts to suit work spaces which require a tight turning radius. The J30-40XNT model is a three wheel forklift that surpasses most other types of lift trucks in its ability to turn sharp corners and manoeuvre through confined spaces. This line of forklifts is ideal in crowded or limited work spaces, making both unloading and loading easier and safer. This kind of truck also features dual steering wheels to give an even smoother and more stable ride. The J30-40XN model is a four wheel lift truck 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 much more comfortable if longer distances need to be covered.
Numerous features come standard on all Hyster forklifts, but there are numerous optional features available as well. The operator selectable performance mode option allows the operator set the performance level required on a job to job basis. Further, it can allow a manager or supervisor to set the maximum level of performance when safety could be a concern, such as helping the driver to learn in a more controlled way when a new operator is learning how to utilize the forklift.
Enclosed operator cabs could be a great alternative in some environments to help protect workers from harsh conditions. To keep the workers safe, the enclosed operator cabs provide an emergency exit, tempered glass and sound proofing. Dual and panoramic rear view mirrors are available to enhance operator visibility, specially of the area behind the lift truck and the tail swing area. Impact monitors can be installed which disable the model and require a supervisor or manager to re-enable the truck. This could help to ensure that workers are safely operating machinery. To prevent units from rolling when the driver intends to stop, an auto park brake is an optional feature which could be included. The park brake applied itself automatically when the forklift comes to a complete stop.
For various applications, certain ratings may be required. UL GS, LPS, DS underwriter laboratory rating label with approved construction standard tells the driver that the lift truck 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 could be used in work sites where arcs or sparks from electrical equipment can ignite airborne deposits.
