At Hyster, we have a diverse range of lift trucks to meet all of your application requirements. For instance, the J45-70XN has the unique component design and Drop Battery Box 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 when the surfaces are bumpy. This type of electric lift truck has 4,500 to 7,000 pound capacities for jobs done both outdoors and indoors. The electric motor on these units enables them to be a great zero emissions alternatives to different other engines. Hyster offers a series of three wheel trucks as well as four wheel lift trucks to suit work spaces that require a tight turning radius. The J30-40XNT model is a three wheel lift truck which surpasses most other kinds of lift trucks in its ability to turn sharp corners and manoeuvre through confined spaces. This line of lift trucks is ideal in limited or congested work spaces, making unloading and loading safer and easier. This type of truck also features dual steering wheels to give an even more stable and smooth ride. The J30-40XN unit is a four wheel forklift that has manoeuvrability very similar to a three wheel lift truck. The four wheel design on this model provides a Zero Turning Radius axle that is generally more comfortable if longer distances have to be covered.
A lot of features come standard on all Hyster lift trucks, but there are lots of optional features available too. The operator selectable performance mode option allows the operator set the performance level needed on a job to job basis. Further, it can enable a supervisor or manager to set the maximum performance level when safety could be an issue, like if a new operator is learning how to use the forklift, helping the driver to learn in a more controlled way.
Enclosed operator cabs might be a great option 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. Panoramic and dual rear view mirrors are available to increase operator visibility, particularly of the area behind the forklift and the tail swing area. Impact monitors could be installed which disable the model and require a manager or supervisor to re-enable the truck. This can help to make sure that workers are operating machines in a safe manner. To prevent forklifts from rolling when the driver intends to stop, an auto park brake is an optional feature which can be added. The park brake automatically applies itself when the lift truck comes to a full stop.
Some ratings might be needed for various applications. The approved construction standards and in particular the UL GS, LPS, DS underwriter laboratory rating labels would tell the driver whether the lift truck is 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 forklift can be used in work areas where sparks or arcs from electrical equipment could ignite airborne deposits.
