To suit all of your application requirements, Hyster has a diverse variety of forklifts. The J45-70XN for example includes a unique component design and a Drop Battery Box that will enable this particular model to utilize pneumatic tires. The pneumatic tires will allow for a smoother ride by lessening vibrations when the surfaces are bumpy. This electric truck has 4,500 to 7,000 pound capacities for both indoor and outdoor work. These units' electric motor allows them to be a great zero emissions alternatives to various other engines. Hyster provides a series of four wheel forklifts as well as three wheel lift trucks to suit work areas which need a tight turning radius. The J30-40XNT unit is a three wheel lift truck that surpasses most other types of lift trucks in its ability to manoeuvre through confined spaces and turn sharp corners. This series of lift trucks is great in limited or congested work areas, making both loading and unloading easier and safer. This type of lift truck also features dual steering wheels to provide an even more stable and smooth ride. The J30-40XN unit is a four wheel lift truck which has manoeuvrability really similar to a three wheel truck. The four wheel design on this particular unit provides a Zero Turning Radius axle that is normally much more comfortable if longer distances need to be covered.
A lot of features come standard on all Hyster forklifts, but there are numerous optional features available as well. The operator selectable performance mode option lets the driver set the performance level needed on a job to job basis. Further, it could enable a manager or supervisor to set the maximum level of performance if safety could be an issue, like helping the operator to learn in a more controlled way when a new driver is learning how to use the truck.
Enclosed operator cabs could be a great option in certain environments to help protect employees from harsh conditions. To keep the employees safe, the enclosed operator cabs provide an emergency exit, tempered glass and sound proofing. Panoramic and dual rear view mirrors are available to improve operator visibility, particularly of the part behind the truck and the tail swing area. Impact monitors could be installed that disable the unit and need a manager or supervisor to re-enable the lift truck. This could help to ensure that workers are operating machines 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 unit comes to a complete stop.
For different applications, some ratings may be required. UL GS, LPS, DS underwriter laboratory rating label with approved construction standard tells the driver that the unit has been outfitted 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 lift truck can be used in work areas where sparks or arcs from electrical machines could ignite airborne deposits.
