To suit all of your application needs, Hyster carries a diverse variety of lift trucks. The J45-70XN for instance includes a unique component design and a Drop Battery Box which would enable this particular unit to utilize pneumatic tires. The pneumatic tires would enable for a smoother ride by reducing vibrations if the surfaces are rough. This specific electric lift truck has 4,500 to 7,000 pound capacities for tasks performed both indoors and outdoors. The electric motor on these models allows them to be a great zero emissions options to various other engines. Hyster provides a series of four wheel lift trucks as well as three wheel forklifts to suit work areas that need a tight turning radius. The J30-40XNT model is a three wheel lift truck that surpasses nearly all other lift trucks in its ability to manoeuvre through confined spaces and turn sharp corners. This series of forklifts is great in limited or congested work areas, making both loading and unloading safer and easier. This kind of lift truck also features dual steering wheels to provide an even smoother and more stable ride. The J30-40XN model is a four wheel forklift which has manoeuvrability very similar to a three wheel lift truck. The four wheel design on this specific unit offers a Zero Turning Radius axle which is normally a lot more comfortable if longer distances have to be covered.
Lots of features come standard on all Hyster forklifts, but there are many optional features available as well. The operator selectable performance mode option lets the driver set the level of performance required on a job to job basis. Further, it can allow a supervisor or manager to set the maximum level of performance if safety could be a concern, like for example when 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 alternative in certain environments to help protect employees from harsh conditions. To keep the workers safe, the enclosed operator cabs provide sound proofing, an emergency exit and tempered glass. Dual and panoramic rear view mirrors are available to improve operator visibility, especially of the part behind the forklift and the tail swing area. Impact monitors could be installed which disable the model and require a supervisor or manager to re-enable the truck. This can help to make sure that employees are safely operating equipment. To prevent lift trucks from rolling when the driver intends to stop, an auto park brake is an optional feature that can be added. The park brake automatically applies itself when the lift truck comes to a complete stop.
For various applications, certain ratings might be required. UL GS, LPS, DS underwriter laboratory rating label with approved construction standard tells the operator that the lift truck 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 forklift could be used in work areas where sparks or arcs from electrical equipment might ignite airborne deposits.
