At Hyster, we carry a diverse variety of lift trucks to meet all of your application needs. For instance, the J45-70XN includes the Drop Battery Box and unique component design which allows this unit to utilize pneumatic tires. The use of the pneumatic tires allows for a smoother ride because of reduced vibrations even if the surfaces are bumpy. This kind of electric truck has 4,500 to 7,000 pound capacities for both outdoor and indoor work. These units' electric motor allows them to be a great zero emissions alternatives to other engines. Hyster provides a series of four wheel lift trucks and three wheel trucks to suit work areas which require 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 turn sharp corners and manoeuvre through confined spaces. This line of forklifts is ideal in congested or limited work spaces, making both unloading and loading easier and safer. This lift truck also features dual steering wheels to give an even more stable and smooth ride. The J30-40XN model is a four wheel forklift which has manoeuvrability really similar to a three wheel forklift. The four wheel design on this model offers a Zero Turning Radius axle that is usually a lot more comfortable if longer distances need to be covered.
A lot 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 enables the driver set the performance level needed on a job to job basis. Further, it could allow a supervisor or manager to set the maximum performance level if safety could be an issue, like for example helping the operator to learn in a more controlled way if a new driver is learning how to use the forklift.
In certain environments, enclosed operator cabs might be a good alternative 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 enhance driver visibility, particularly of the tail swing area and the area behind the lift truck. Impact monitors could be installed that disable the unit and require a manager or supervisor to re-enable the truck. This could help to make certain that workers are safely operating machines. To prevent lift trucks from rolling when the driver intends to stop, an auto park brake is an optional feature that could be added. The park brake automatically applies itself when the unit comes to a full stop.
For different applications, some ratings might be needed. UL GS, LPS, DS underwriter laboratory rating label with approved construction standard tells the operator that the unit has been outfitted with added resistance to spark creation. If there is a concern, there is a mechanical main battery disconnect. An EE UL rating means that the lift truck could be used in work sites where sparks or arcs from electrical equipment might ignite airborne deposits.
