To suit all of your application needs, Hyster carries a diverse variety of forklifts. The J45-70XN for instance includes a Drop Battery Box and a unique component design that will enable this unit to use pneumatic tires. The pneumatic tires would enable for a smoother ride by lessening vibrations when the surfaces are bumpy. This particular electric truck has 4,500 to 7,000 pound capacities for jobs done both outdoors and indoors. These models' electric motor allows them to be a great zero emissions alternatives to other engines. Hyster offers a line of four wheel lift trucks as well as three wheel lift trucks to suit work spaces which require a tight turning radius. The J30-40XNT unit is a three wheel lift truck that surpasses most other types of forklifts in its ability to turn sharp corners and manoeuvre through tight spaces. This series of forklifts is great in crowded or limited work areas, making unloading and loading easier and safer. This type of truck also features dual steering wheels to give an even more stable and smooth ride. The J30-40XN model is a four wheel lift truck that has manoeuvrability very similar to a three wheel forklift. The four wheel design on this specific model offers a Zero Turning Radius axle which is generally much more comfortable when longer distances need to be covered.
A lot of features come standard on all Hyster forklifts, but there are a lot of optional features available as well. The operator selectable performance mode option lets the driver set the performance level needed on a job to job basis. Further, it can allow a supervisor or manager to set the maximum performance level when safety might be an issue, like for instance if a new driver is learning how to use the lift truck, helping the driver to learn in a more controlled way.
Enclosed operator cabs might be a good alternative in certain 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. Dual and panoramic rear view mirrors are available to increase driver visibility, particularly of the tail swing area and the part behind the forklift. Impact monitors can be installed which disable the unit and need a supervisor or manager to re-enable the truck. This can help to ensure that workers are safely operating machines. 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 full stop.
For various applications, some ratings may be required. UL GS, LPS, DS underwriter laboratory rating label with approved construction standard tells the user that the forklift has been 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 forklift could be used in work areas where arcs or sparks from electrical equipment may ignite airborne deposits.
