At Hyster, we carry a diverse range of forklifts to suit all of your application requirements. For instance, the J45-70XN has the Drop Battery Box and unique component design that allows this unit to utilize pneumatic tires. The use of the pneumatic tires enables for a smoother ride because of reduced vibrations even when the surfaces are bumpy. This electric lift truck has 4,500 to 7,000 pound capacities for jobs done both indoors and outdoors. The electric motor on these models allows them to be a great zero emissions alternatives to other engines. Hyster provides a line of four wheel lift trucks as well as three wheel forklifts to suit work spaces that require a tight turning radius. The J30-40XNT unit is a three wheel lift truck that surpasses most other kinds of forklifts in its ability to manoeuvre through tight spaces and turn sharp corners. This line of forklifts is great in limited or congested work areas, making unloading and loading easier and safer. This kind of lift truck also features dual steering wheels to give an even smoother and more stable ride. The J30-40XN unit is a four wheel forklift which has manoeuvrability really similar to a three wheel truck. The four wheel design on this particular model provides a Zero Turning Radius axle that is normally much more comfortable when longer distances need to be covered.
There are lots of optional features and numerous 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 could enable a supervisor or manager to set the maximum performance level when safety could be an issue, like for instance helping the operator to learn in a more controlled way if a new driver is learning how to use the forklift.
In certain environments, enclosed operator cabs might be a good option for protecting workers from harsh conditions. Sound proofing, an emergency exit and tempered glass help to keep the worker safe. Panoramic and dual rear view mirrors are available to enhance driver visibility, particularly of the area behind the lift truck and the tail swing area. Impact monitors could be installed that disable the model and require a manager or supervisor to re-enable the forklift. This can help to ensure that workers are operating machinery safely. To prevent units 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 forklift comes to a full stop.
Some ratings might be required for different applications. The approved construction standards and particularly the UL GS, LPS, DS underwriter laboratory rating labels would tell the driver whether the forklift is 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 utilized in work sites where arcs or sparks from electrical equipment may ignite airborne deposits.
