To suit all of your application requirements, Hyster has a diverse variety of lift trucks. The J45-70XN for instance features a unique component design and a Drop Battery Box that would allow this model to use pneumatic tires. The pneumatic tires would enable for a smoother ride by reducing vibrations when the surfaces are rough. This particular electric forklift has 4,500 to 7,000 pound capacities for jobs done both outdoors and indoors. The electric motor on these models allows them to be a great zero emissions alternatives to other engines. Hyster provides a line of three wheel trucks as well as four wheel lift trucks to suit work spaces that need a tight turning radius. The J30-40XNT unit is a three wheel lift truck that surpasses most other lift trucks in its ability to turn sharp corners and manoeuvre through confined spaces. This series of lift trucks is suitable in limited or congested work areas, making unloading and loading safer and easier. This type of lift truck also features dual steering wheels to offer an even more stable and smooth ride. The J30-40XN unit is a four wheel lift truck that has manoeuvrability very similar to a three wheel forklift. The four wheel design on this particular unit provides a Zero Turning Radius axle that is normally more comfortable when longer distances have to be covered.
Lots of features come standard on all Hyster lift trucks, but there are numerous optional features available as well. The operator selectable performance mode option allows the operator set the performance level needed on a job to job basis. Further, it could allow a supervisor or manager to set the maximum level of performance if safety might be an issue, like for instance if a new driver is learning how to utilize the truck, helping the driver to learn in a more controlled way.
Enclosed operator cabs could be a great alternative in some 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. Panoramic and dual rear view mirrors are available to enhance driver visibility, especially of the tail swing area and the part behind the truck. Impact monitors could be installed that disable the model and need a supervisor or manager to re-enable the forklift. This can help to ensure that employees are safely operating machinery. To prevent units from rolling when the driver intends to stop, an auto park brake is an optional feature which can be included. The park brake applied itself automatically when the lift truck comes to a full stop.
For different applications, some ratings may be required. UL GS, LPS, DS underwriter laboratory rating label with approved construction standard tells the user that the lift truck has been equipped with added resistance to spark creation. If there is a problem, there is a mechanical main battery disconnect. An EE UL rating means that the forklift could be used in work areas where arcs or sparks from electrical machines might ignite airborne deposits.
