At Hyster, we carry a diverse variety of forklifts to suit all of your application requirements. Like for example, the J45-70XN includes the Drop Battery Box and unique component design that enables this particular unit to use pneumatic tires. The use of the pneumatic tires enables for a smoother ride because of reduced vibrations even when the surfaces are bumpy. This specific electric truck has 4,500 to 7,000 pound capacities for both outdoor and indoor jobs. The electric motor on these units allows them to be a great zero emissions alternatives to other engines. Hyster provides a line of four wheel forklifts as well as three wheel trucks to suit work spaces that require a tight turning radius. The J30-40XNT unit is a three wheel lift truck that surpasses most other lift trucks in its ability to manoeuvre through confined spaces and turn sharp corners. This series of lift trucks is ideal in congested or limited work spaces, making both unloading and loading safer and easier. This kind of forklift also features dual steering wheels to offer an even more stable and smooth ride. The J30-40XN unit is a four wheel lift truck which 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 normally a lot more comfortable when longer distances need to be covered.
There are lots of optional features and many standard features provided on all Hyster forklifts. The optional operator selectable performance mode will allow the driver to set up levels of performance from job to job. Further, it can allow a manager or supervisor to set the maximum level of performance when safety could be a concern, like if a new driver is learning how to use the forklift, helping the driver to learn in a more controlled way.
Enclosed operator cabs could be a good option in certain environments to help protect workers from harsh conditions. To keep the employees safe, the enclosed operator cabs provide sound proofing, an emergency exit and tempered glass. Panoramic and dual rear view mirrors are available to enhance operator visibility, specially of the tail swing area and the area behind the forklift. Impact monitors could be installed which disable the unit and need a supervisor or manager to re-enable the lift truck. This could help to make sure that workers are safely operating machinery. 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 unit comes to a full stop.
Certain ratings may be needed for different applications. The approved construction standards and in particular the UL GS, LPS, DS underwriter laboratory rating labels would tell the driver whether the unit is equipped with added resistance to spark creation. If there is a problem, there is a mechanical main battery disconnect. An EE UL rating means that the forklift could be used in work sites where sparks or arcs from electrical equipment can ignite airborne deposits.
