At Hyster, we carry a diverse range of forklifts to meet all of your application requirements. Like for example, the J45-70XN features the unique component design and Drop Battery Box which enables this model to use pneumatic tires. Utilizing the pneumatic tires enables for a smoother ride because of less vibrations even if the surfaces are rough. This kind of electric forklift has 4,500 to 7,000 pound capacities for jobs performed both outdoors and indoors. The electric motor on these units enables them to be a great zero emissions options to various other engines. Hyster provides a line of four wheel forklifts and three wheel lift trucks to suit work areas that require a tight turning radius. The J30-40XNT model is a three wheel lift truck which surpasses nearly all other types of forklifts in its ability to manoeuvre through confined spaces and turn sharp corners. This series of forklifts is suitable in congested or limited work spaces, making loading and unloading safer and easier. This kind of 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 that has manoeuvrability very similar to a three wheel forklift. The four wheel design on this specific model offers a Zero Turning Radius axle that is generally more comfortable when longer distances have to be covered.
Lots of features come standard on all Hyster lift trucks, but there are a lot of 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 could enable a manager or supervisor to set the maximum performance level if safety could be an issue, such as helping the driver to learn in a more controlled way if a new operator is learning how to use the forklift.
In some environments, enclosed operator cabs could be a good option for protecting employees 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 increase driver visibility, especially of the part behind the forklift and the tail swing area. Impact monitors can be installed that disable the model and require a supervisor or manager to re-enable the truck. This could help to make certain that workers are safely operating equipment. To prevent forklifts from rolling when the driver intends to stop, an auto park brake is an optional feature that could be included. The park brake automatically applies itself when the unit comes to a complete stop.
Certain ratings might be required for different applications. The approved construction standards and in particular the UL GS, LPS, DS underwriter laboratory rating labels will tell the user whether the unit 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 utilized in work areas where sparks or arcs from electrical machinery may ignite airborne deposits.
