To suit all of your application needs, Hyster has a diverse array of lift trucks. The J45-70XN for instance includes a unique component design and a Drop Battery Box that will enable this unit to utilize pneumatic tires. The pneumatic tires would allow for a smoother ride by lessening vibrations if the surfaces are rough. This particular electric lift truck has 4,500 to 7,000 pound capacities for tasks done both indoors and outdoors. These units' electric motor allows them to be a great zero emissions options to different other engines. Hyster offers a series of three wheel forklifts as well as four wheel forklifts to suit work areas that need a tight turning radius. The J30-40XNT unit is a three wheel lift truck which surpasses most other forklifts in its ability to turn sharp corners and manoeuvre through confined spaces. This line of forklifts is great in limited or congested work areas, making unloading and loading safer and easier. This forklift also features dual steering wheels to offer an even more stable and smooth ride. The J30-40XN model is a four wheel lift truck which has manoeuvrability very similar to a three wheel forklift. The four wheel design on this model provides a Zero Turning Radius axle which is generally much more comfortable when longer distances need to be covered.
Many 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 driver set the level of performance required on a job to job basis. Further, it can allow a supervisor or manager to set the maximum performance level when safety could be a concern, like if a new operator is learning how to use the forklift, helping the driver to learn in a more controlled way.
Enclosed operator cabs could be a good alternative in certain environments to help protect employees from harsh conditions. To keep the employees safe, the enclosed operator cabs provide sound proofing, an emergency exit and tempered glass. Dual and panoramic 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 which disable the unit and need a supervisor or manager to re-enable the truck. This can help to ensure that employees are operating machinery in a safe manner. To prevent units 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 needed. UL GS, LPS, DS underwriter laboratory rating label with approved construction standard tells the driver that the unit has been 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 could be utilized in work sites where sparks or arcs from electrical machines might ignite airborne deposits.
