At Hyster, we carry a diverse range of forklifts to suit all of your application needs. For instance, the J45-70XN includes the unique component design and Drop Battery Box which enables this particular unit to use pneumatic tires. The use of the pneumatic tires allows for a smoother ride because of less vibrations even when the surfaces are bumpy. This kind of electric forklift has 4,500 to 7,000 pound capacities for both indoor and outdoor work. The electric motor on these models enables them to be a great zero emissions alternatives to other engines. Hyster provides a series of four wheel forklifts and three wheel forklifts to suit work spaces which require a tight turning radius. The J30-40XNT model is a three wheel lift truck which surpasses most other types of lift trucks in its ability to manoeuvre through tight spaces and turn sharp corners. This line of forklifts is ideal in crowded or limited work spaces, making both unloading and loading safer and easier. This type of lift 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 unit offers a Zero Turning Radius axle which is generally a lot more comfortable when longer distances need to be covered.
Lots of features come standard on all Hyster forklifts, but there are numerous optional features available too. The operator selectable performance mode option allows the operator 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 helping the driver to learn in a more controlled way when a new driver is learning how to use the forklift.
Enclosed operator cabs could be a good option in some environments to help protect workers from harsh conditions. To keep the workers safe, the enclosed operator cabs provide sound proofing, an emergency exit and tempered glass. Panoramic and dual rear view mirrors are available to increase operator visibility, especially of the area behind the forklift and the tail swing area. Impact monitors can be installed which disable the model and require a manager or supervisor to re-enable the lift truck. This could 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 which can be included. The park brake applied itself automatically when the lift truck comes to a full stop.
Certain ratings may be needed for different applications. The approved construction standards and particularly the UL GS, LPS, DS underwriter laboratory rating labels will tell the driver 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 lift truck could be utilized in work sites where sparks or arcs from electrical machinery might ignite airborne deposits.
