At Hyster, we carry a diverse range of lift trucks to meet all of your application requirements. Like for instance, the J45-70XN features the Drop Battery Box and unique component design which enables this unit to use pneumatic tires. Utilizing the pneumatic tires allows for a smoother ride due to reduced vibrations even if the surfaces are bumpy. This type of electric forklift has 4,500 to 7,000 pound capacities for both indoor and outdoor jobs. The electric motor on these models enables them to be a great zero emissions options to other engines. Hyster offers a series of three wheel lift trucks as well as four wheel lift trucks to suit work areas which require a tight turning radius. The J30-40XNT unit is a three wheel lift truck which surpasses most other kinds of lift trucks in its ability to manoeuvre through confined spaces and turn sharp corners. This series of forklifts is great in congested or limited work spaces, making loading and unloading safer and easier. This type of truck also features dual steering wheels to provide an even more stable and smooth ride. The J30-40XN model is a four wheel forklift that has manoeuvrability very similar to a three wheel forklift. The four wheel design on this specific model provides a Zero Turning Radius axle which is usually more comfortable when longer distances have to be covered.
There are lots of optional features and numerous standard features offered on all Hyster lift trucks. The optional operator selectable performance mode would allow the driver to set up performance levels from job to job. Further, it can allow a manager or supervisor to set the maximum performance level when safety could be an issue, like helping the driver to learn in a more controlled way if a new operator is learning how to use the truck.
Enclosed operator cabs could be a good option in some environments to help protect employees from harsh conditions. To keep the employees safe, the enclosed operator cabs provide tempered glass, sound proofing, and an emergency exit. Panoramic and dual rear view mirrors are available to increase operator visibility, specially of the part behind the forklift and the tail swing area. Impact monitors could be installed which disable the unit and require a supervisor or manager to re-enable the forklift. This could help to ensure that workers are operating machinery in a safe manner. To prevent units from rolling when the operator intends to stop, an auto park brake is an optional feature which can be added. The park brake applied itself automatically when the unit comes to a full stop.
Some ratings may be needed for various applications. The approved construction standards and particularly the UL GS, LPS, DS underwriter laboratory rating labels would tell the user whether the unit 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 forklift can be utilized in work areas where arcs or sparks from electrical equipment might ignite airborne deposits.
