At Hyster, we carry a diverse variety of lift trucks to suit all of your application requirements. Like for example, the J45-70XN has the Drop Battery Box and unique component design which enables this model to use pneumatic tires. Using the pneumatic tires allows for a smoother ride due to less vibrations even when the surfaces are bumpy. This particular electric truck has 4,500 to 7,000 pound capacities for tasks done both outdoors and indoors. The electric motor on these units enables them to be a great zero emissions options to various other engines. Hyster provides a series of three wheel trucks and four wheel forklifts to suit work spaces that need a tight turning radius. The J30-40XNT model is a three wheel lift truck which surpasses nearly all other kinds of lift trucks in its ability to manoeuvre through tight spaces and turn sharp corners. This line of lift trucks is great in congested or limited work spaces, making both unloading and loading safer and easier. This truck also features dual steering wheels to give an even smoother and more stable ride. The J30-40XN model is a four wheel forklift which has manoeuvrability really similar to a three wheel forklift. The four wheel design on this specific model offers a Zero Turning Radius axle that is generally a lot 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 too. The operator selectable performance mode option enables the operator set the performance level required on a job to job basis. Further, it could allow a supervisor or manager to set the maximum performance level if safety might be an issue, like if a new driver is learning how to utilize the truck, helping the operator to learn in a more controlled way.
In certain environments, enclosed operator cabs could be a great option for protecting workers from harsh conditions. Tempered glass, sound proofing, and an emergency exit help to keep the worker safe. Panoramic and dual rear view mirrors are available to increase operator visibility, specially of the tail swing area and the area behind the forklift. Impact monitors can be installed which disable the unit and require a supervisor or manager to re-enable the truck. This can 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 that could be included. The park brake applied itself automatically when the forklift comes to a full stop.
Some ratings may be required for different applications. The approved construction standards and particularly the UL GS, LPS, DS underwriter laboratory rating labels would tell the driver whether the forklift is equipped 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 machines might ignite airborne deposits.
