To suit all of your application needs, Hyster carries a diverse array of forklifts. The J45-70XN for instance has a unique component design and a Drop Battery Box which will allow this model to utilize pneumatic tires. The pneumatic tires would enable for a smoother ride by lessening vibrations if the surfaces are bumpy. This kind of electric truck has 4,500 to 7,000 pound capacities for both indoor and outdoor work. These units' electric motor allows them to be a great zero emissions options to other engines. Hyster offers a series of three wheel forklifts and four wheel lift trucks to suit work areas that require a tight turning radius. The J30-40XNT model is a three wheel lift truck which surpasses most other 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 safer and easier. This forklift 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 truck. The four wheel design on this particular model provides a Zero Turning Radius axle which is normally more comfortable when longer distances have to be covered.
There are many optional features and numerous standard features provided on all Hyster forklifts. The optional operator selectable performance mode will enable the driver to set up levels of performance from job to job. Further, it can enable a manager or supervisor to set the maximum performance level when safety could be an issue, like for example if a new driver is learning how to use the lift truck, helping the driver to learn in a more controlled way.
In some environments, enclosed operator cabs might be a good option for protecting workers 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 enhance driver visibility, especially of the tail swing area and the area behind the forklift. Impact monitors can be installed that disable the model and need a manager or supervisor to re-enable the truck. This could help to ensure that workers are operating machinery safely. To prevent lift trucks from rolling when the driver intends to stop, an auto park brake is an optional feature which can be added. The park brake automatically applies itself when the lift truck comes to a full stop.
Certain ratings might be required for different applications. The approved construction standards and in particular the UL GS, LPS, DS underwriter laboratory rating labels will tell the driver whether the lift truck 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 could be used in work sites where arcs or sparks from electrical machines could ignite airborne deposits.
