At Hyster, we have a diverse range of forklifts to suit all of your application requirements. For instance, the J45-70XN includes the unique component design and Drop Battery Box which enables this particular model to use pneumatic tires. Using the pneumatic tires allows for a smoother ride due to less vibrations even when the surfaces are rough. This kind of electric lift truck has 4,500 to 7,000 pound capacities for both outdoor and indoor jobs. These units' electric motor allows them to be a great zero emissions alternatives to various other engines. Hyster provides a line of four wheel lift trucks as well as three wheel trucks to suit work areas which need a tight turning radius. The J30-40XNT unit is a three wheel lift truck which surpasses most other types of forklifts in its ability to manoeuvre through confined spaces and turn sharp corners. This line of lift trucks is ideal in congested or limited work spaces, making both unloading and loading safer and easier. This type of truck also features dual steering wheels to offer an even smoother and more stable ride. The J30-40XN unit is a four wheel forklift that has manoeuvrability really similar to a three wheel truck. The four wheel design on this unit provides a Zero Turning Radius axle that is normally much more comfortable if longer distances have to be covered.
Numerous features come standard on all Hyster forklifts, but there are many optional features available too. The operator selectable performance mode option enables the operator set the level of performance required on a job to job basis. Further, it can enable a manager or supervisor to set the maximum level of performance if safety could be a concern, like for example helping the operator to learn in a more controlled way when a new operator is learning how to utilize the forklift.
Enclosed operator cabs might be a great alternative in certain environments to help protect employees from harsh conditions. To keep the employees safe, the enclosed operator cabs provide an emergency exit, tempered glass and sound proofing. Panoramic and dual rear view mirrors are available to improve driver visibility, particularly of the area behind the lift truck and the tail swing area. Impact monitors can be installed that disable the unit and require a manager or supervisor to re-enable the truck. This could help to make certain that employees are safely operating equipment. To prevent units from rolling when the driver intends to stop, an auto park brake is an optional feature that can be included. The park brake applied itself automatically when the lift truck comes to a complete stop.
Some ratings might be needed for various applications. The approved construction standards and in particular the UL GS, LPS, DS underwriter laboratory rating labels would tell the operator whether the unit is outfitted 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 could be used in work areas where arcs or sparks from electrical machinery may ignite airborne deposits.
