At Hyster, we carry a diverse variety of lift trucks to suit all of your application requirements. For example, the J45-70XN features the Drop Battery Box and unique component design which allows this unit to utilize pneumatic tires. The use of the pneumatic tires allows for a smoother ride because of less vibrations even when the surfaces are rough. This kind of electric truck has 4,500 to 7,000 pound capacities for both indoor and outdoor work. The electric motor on these units enables them to be a great zero emissions alternatives to other engines. Hyster provides a series of four wheel lift trucks as well as three wheel trucks to suit work areas that need 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 series of forklifts is great in congested or limited work spaces, making both unloading and loading safer and easier. This kind of lift truck also features dual steering wheels to provide an even more stable and smooth ride. The J30-40XN unit is a four wheel lift truck which has manoeuvrability really similar to a three wheel truck. The four wheel design on this unit provides a Zero Turning Radius axle that is usually more comfortable if longer distances need to be covered.
Lots of 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 could enable a manager or supervisor to set the maximum level of performance if safety might be a concern, like for example helping the driver to learn in a more controlled way when a new driver is learning how to use the truck.
In certain environments, enclosed operator cabs might be a great option for protecting employees from harsh conditions. Sound proofing, an emergency exit and tempered glass help to keep the employee safe. Dual and panoramic rear view mirrors are available to increase operator visibility, particularly of the area behind the truck and the tail swing area. Impact monitors could be installed which disable the model and require a manager or supervisor to re-enable the forklift. This could help to ensure that employees are operating machines safely. To prevent forklifts from rolling when the driver intends to stop, an auto park brake is an optional feature that can be included. The park brake applied itself automatically 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 lift truck could be used in work sites where arcs or sparks from electrical equipment could ignite airborne deposits.
