At Hyster, we carry a diverse array of lift trucks to meet all of your application requirements. Like for example, the J45-70XN includes the unique component design and Drop Battery Box which allows this particular model to utilize pneumatic tires. Utilizing the pneumatic tires enables for a smoother ride due to reduced vibrations even when the surfaces are rough. This electric forklift has 4,500 to 7,000 pound capacities for jobs done both outdoors and indoors. These units' electric motor enables them to be a great zero emissions options to various other engines. Hyster provides a line of three wheel lift trucks as well as four wheel lift trucks to suit work spaces that require a tight turning radius. The J30-40XNT model is a three wheel lift truck that surpasses most other lift trucks in its ability to turn sharp corners and manoeuvre through confined spaces. This series of forklifts is great in limited or congested work spaces, making loading and unloading easier and safer. This type of forklift also features dual steering wheels to provide an even smoother and more stable ride. The J30-40XN model is a four wheel forklift that has manoeuvrability really similar to a three wheel truck. The four wheel design on this particular model provides a Zero Turning Radius axle which is usually more comfortable if longer distances need to be covered.
A lot of features come standard on all Hyster forklifts, but there are numerous optional features available too. The operator selectable performance mode option enables the driver set the level of performance required 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, like helping the driver to learn in a more controlled way when a new driver is learning how to use the lift truck.
In certain environments, enclosed operator cabs could be a good alternative for protecting employees from harsh conditions. Tempered glass, sound proofing, and an emergency exit help to keep the employee safe. Panoramic and dual rear view mirrors are available to increase operator visibility, particularly of the area behind the forklift and the tail swing area. Impact monitors could be installed that disable the unit and need a supervisor or manager to re-enable the lift truck. This can help to ensure that employees are safely operating machines. To prevent lift trucks from rolling when the driver intends to stop, an auto park brake is an optional feature that could be included. The park brake applied itself automatically when the unit comes to a full stop.
Certain ratings might be needed for various applications. The approved construction standards and particularly the UL GS, LPS, DS underwriter laboratory rating labels will tell the operator 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 lift truck can be used in work areas where arcs or sparks from electrical equipment could ignite airborne deposits.
