At Hyster, we carry a diverse array of lift trucks to meet all of your application requirements. For instance, the J45-70XN includes the unique component design and Drop Battery Box which enables this particular unit to use pneumatic tires. The use of the pneumatic tires enables for a smoother ride due to less vibrations even if the surfaces are rough. This kind of electric forklift has 4,500 to 7,000 pound capacities for jobs done both outdoors and indoors. These units' electric motor allows them to be a great zero emissions alternatives to various other engines. Hyster offers a series of four wheel forklifts and three wheel forklifts to suit work spaces that need a tight turning radius. The J30-40XNT model is a three wheel forklift that surpasses nearly all other types of lift trucks in its ability to manoeuvre through tight spaces and turn sharp corners. This series of lift trucks is suitable in limited or congested work spaces, making both loading and unloading easier and safer. This kind of truck also features dual steering wheels to provide an even smoother and more stable ride. The J30-40XN model is a four wheel lift truck which has manoeuvrability very similar to a three wheel forklift. The four wheel design on this unit provides a Zero Turning Radius axle that is usually more comfortable when longer distances need to be covered.
Lots of features come standard on all Hyster lift trucks, but there are lots of optional features available too. The operator selectable performance mode option enables the driver set the level of performance required on a job to job basis. Further, it can enable a supervisor or manager to set the maximum level of performance if safety could be a concern, such as helping the driver to learn in a more controlled way if a new driver is learning how to use the truck.
Enclosed operator cabs might be a great alternative in certain environments to help protect workers 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 improve operator visibility, especially of the tail swing area and the part behind the forklift. Impact monitors can be installed which disable the unit and need a manager or supervisor to re-enable the lift truck. This could help to ensure that workers are operating machines in a safe manner. To prevent lift trucks from rolling when the operator 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.
Some ratings might be required for various applications. The approved construction standards and in particular the UL GS, LPS, DS underwriter laboratory rating labels will tell the operator whether the forklift is 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 can be utilized in work sites where sparks or arcs from electrical machines may ignite airborne deposits.
