At Hyster, we have a diverse variety of forklifts to suit all of your application requirements. Like for instance, the J45-70XN includes the Drop Battery Box and unique component design that allows this particular model to utilize pneumatic tires. Utilizing the pneumatic tires allows for a smoother ride due to less vibrations even if the surfaces are bumpy. This electric forklift has 4,500 to 7,000 pound capacities for jobs performed both outdoors and indoors. The electric motor on these units allows them to be a great zero emissions options to other engines. Hyster provides a line of four wheel forklifts as well as three wheel forklifts to suit work spaces which require a tight turning radius. The J30-40XNT model is a three wheel forklift that surpasses most other types of forklifts in its ability to manoeuvre through confined spaces and turn sharp corners. This series of lift trucks is great in limited or congested work areas, making both unloading and loading easier and safer. This kind of lift truck also features dual steering wheels to give an even more stable and smooth ride. The J30-40XN model is a four wheel forklift that has manoeuvrability very similar to a three wheel forklift. The four wheel design on this model provides a Zero Turning Radius axle which is normally more comfortable if longer distances have to be covered.
Lots of 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 can enable a supervisor or manager to set the maximum performance level if safety might be an issue, such as if a new operator is learning how to utilize the truck, helping the operator to learn in a more controlled way.
Enclosed operator cabs could be a good option in some environments to help protect workers from harsh conditions. To keep the employees safe, the enclosed operator cabs provide sound proofing, an emergency exit and tempered glass. Panoramic and dual rear view mirrors are available to enhance operator visibility, especially of the tail swing area and the area behind the truck. Impact monitors could be installed that disable the unit and require a supervisor or manager to re-enable the lift truck. This could help to ensure that workers are safely operating machines. To prevent forklifts from rolling when the operator intends to stop, an auto park brake is an optional feature which could be added. The park brake applied itself automatically when the forklift comes to a complete stop.
For various applications, certain ratings might be needed. UL GS, LPS, DS underwriter laboratory rating label with approved construction standard tells the driver that the lift truck 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 can be used in work areas where sparks or arcs from electrical equipment might ignite airborne deposits.
