To suit all of your application needs, Hyster has a diverse range of forklifts. The J45-70XN for example features a Drop Battery Box and a unique component design that would enable this particular model to use pneumatic tires. The pneumatic tires will allow for a smoother ride by lessening vibrations when the surfaces are bumpy. This electric forklift has 4,500 to 7,000 pound capacities for both indoor and outdoor work. These models' electric motor enables 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 which surpasses most other forklifts in its ability to manoeuvre through tight spaces and turn sharp corners. This series of forklifts is suitable in crowded or limited work areas, making loading and unloading safer and easier. This forklift also features dual steering wheels to provide an even more stable and smooth ride. The J30-40XN model is a four wheel forklift which has manoeuvrability very similar to a three wheel forklift. The four wheel design on this model offers a Zero Turning Radius axle which is generally more comfortable if longer distances have to be covered.
Many features come standard on all Hyster forklifts, but there are lots of optional features available as well. The operator selectable performance mode option allows the driver set the performance level needed on a job to job basis. Further, it could enable a manager or supervisor to set the maximum performance level when safety might be an issue, like if a new driver is learning how to utilize the lift truck, helping the driver to learn in a more controlled way.
In certain environments, enclosed operator cabs might be a great option for protecting workers from harsh conditions. Sound proofing, an emergency exit and tempered glass help to keep the worker safe. Dual and panoramic rear view mirrors are available to improve operator visibility, particularly of the part behind the lift truck and the tail swing area. Impact monitors could be installed that disable the unit and need a manager or supervisor to re-enable the truck. This can help to make certain that workers are safely operating equipment. To prevent lift trucks from rolling when the driver intends to stop, an auto park brake is an optional feature which can be added. The park brake applied itself automatically when the forklift comes to a full stop.
For different applications, certain ratings may be required. UL GS, LPS, DS underwriter laboratory rating label with approved construction standard tells the operator that the unit 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 lift truck can be utilized in work sites where arcs or sparks from electrical machines might ignite airborne deposits.
