At Hyster, we have a diverse variety of forklifts to meet all of your application requirements. For example, the J45-70XN has the Drop Battery Box and unique component design that allows this particular model to use pneumatic tires. Utilizing the pneumatic tires enables for a smoother ride due to reduced vibrations even if the surfaces are rough. This specific electric truck has 4,500 to 7,000 pound capacities for both outdoor and indoor work. These models' electric motor allows them to be a great zero emissions alternatives to various other engines. Hyster offers a series of three wheel trucks as well as four wheel forklifts to suit work areas which require a tight turning radius. The J30-40XNT model is a three wheel forklift which surpasses nearly all other forklifts in its ability to manoeuvre through tight spaces and turn sharp corners. This series of lift trucks is suitable in limited or crowded work spaces, making both loading and unloading easier and safer. This lift truck also features dual steering wheels to offer an even smoother and more stable 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 normally more comfortable if longer distances need to be covered.
There are a lot of optional features and many standard features provided on all Hyster forklifts. The optional operator selectable performance mode would allow the driver to set up performance levels from job to job. Further, it could allow a supervisor or manager to set the maximum level of performance when safety could be a concern, like for example if a new driver is learning how to utilize the forklift, helping the operator to learn in a more controlled way.
Enclosed operator cabs could be a great option in certain 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 enhance driver visibility, specially of the part behind the forklift 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 could help to make certain that employees are safely operating machinery. To prevent forklifts from rolling when the operator intends to stop, an auto park brake is an optional feature which could be included. The park brake applied itself automatically when the unit comes to a complete stop.
Certain ratings might be needed for various applications. The approved construction standards and particularly the UL GS, LPS, DS underwriter laboratory rating labels will tell the operator 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 lift truck can be used in work areas where arcs or sparks from electrical machinery could ignite airborne deposits.
