At Hyster, we have a diverse array of forklifts to suit all of your application needs. Like for instance, the J45-70XN has the unique component design and Drop Battery Box that allows this model to use pneumatic tires. Utilizing the pneumatic tires enables for a smoother ride due to less vibrations even when the surfaces are rough. This type of electric forklift has 4,500 to 7,000 pound capacities for tasks done both outdoors and indoors. These models' electric motor enables them to be a great zero emissions options to other engines. Hyster offers a line of four wheel forklifts and three wheel forklifts to suit work spaces which require a tight turning radius. The J30-40XNT unit is a three wheel lift truck which surpasses nearly all other kinds of forklifts in its ability to turn sharp corners and manoeuvre through tight spaces. This line of forklifts is great in crowded or limited work spaces, making both unloading and loading easier and safer. This truck also features dual steering wheels to provide an even more stable and smooth ride. The J30-40XN model is a four wheel lift truck which has manoeuvrability really similar to a three wheel forklift. The four wheel design on this specific unit provides a Zero Turning Radius axle that is usually much more comfortable when longer distances need to be covered.
Lots of 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 performance level if safety might be an issue, like for example helping the driver to learn in a more controlled way if a new operator is learning how to utilize the truck.
Enclosed operator cabs could be a good option in certain environments to help protect workers from harsh conditions. To keep the workers safe, the enclosed operator cabs provide tempered glass, sound proofing, and an emergency exit. Dual and panoramic rear view mirrors are available to enhance operator visibility, particularly of the part behind the forklift and the tail swing area. Impact monitors can be installed that disable the model and need a supervisor or manager to re-enable the lift truck. This could help to ensure that employees are operating machinery in a safe manner. To prevent lift trucks 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 unit comes to a complete stop.
Some ratings might be needed for different applications. The approved construction standards and in particular 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 problem, there is a mechanical main battery disconnect. An EE UL rating means that the forklift can be used in work areas where sparks or arcs from electrical equipment might ignite airborne deposits.
