At Hyster, we carry a diverse variety of lift trucks to meet all of your application needs. For instance, the J45-70XN has the Drop Battery Box and unique component design which allows this particular model to use pneumatic tires. The use of the pneumatic tires allows for a smoother ride due to less vibrations even if the surfaces are bumpy. This particular electric truck has 4,500 to 7,000 pound capacities for both indoor and outdoor jobs. The electric motor on these units allows them to be a great zero emissions alternatives to different other engines. Hyster provides a line of four wheel lift trucks and three wheel forklifts to suit work areas which need a tight turning radius. The J30-40XNT model is a three wheel lift truck that surpasses nearly all other forklifts in its ability to turn sharp corners and manoeuvre through confined spaces. This series of forklifts is ideal in limited or congested work spaces, making both unloading and loading easier and safer. This lift truck also features dual steering wheels to provide an even smoother and more stable ride. The J30-40XN unit is a four wheel forklift that has manoeuvrability very similar to a three wheel lift truck. The four wheel design on this unit provides a Zero Turning Radius axle which is usually a lot more comfortable if longer distances need to be covered.
Lots of features come standard on all Hyster lift trucks, but there are lots of optional features available as well. The operator selectable performance mode option allows the driver set the performance level needed on a job to job basis. Further, it could enable a supervisor or manager to set the maximum level of performance if safety might be a concern, such as helping the driver to learn in a more controlled way if a new operator is learning how to utilize the lift truck.
In certain environments, enclosed operator cabs could be a great option for protecting workers from harsh conditions. Tempered glass, sound proofing, and an emergency exit help to keep the worker safe. Dual and panoramic rear view mirrors are available to increase driver visibility, specially of the part behind the lift truck and the tail swing area. Impact monitors can be installed which disable the model and need a supervisor or manager to re-enable the truck. This could help to ensure that workers are operating machines safely. To prevent units 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 forklift comes to a full stop.
For different applications, certain ratings may be required. UL GS, LPS, DS underwriter laboratory rating label with approved construction standard tells the driver that the forklift has been 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 sites where arcs or sparks from electrical machinery can ignite airborne deposits.
