To suit all of your application needs, Hyster carries a diverse variety of lift trucks. The J45-70XN for instance features a Drop Battery Box and a unique component design that will enable this unit to use pneumatic tires. The pneumatic tires will allow for a smoother ride by reducing vibrations if the surfaces are bumpy. This kind of electric truck has 4,500 to 7,000 pound capacities for both indoor and outdoor jobs. These units' electric motor enables them to be a great zero emissions options to other engines. Hyster offers a series of four wheel forklifts as well as three wheel trucks to suit work spaces that 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 turn sharp corners and manoeuvre through tight spaces. This line of lift trucks is suitable in limited or crowded work spaces, making both loading and unloading safer and easier. This lift truck also features dual steering wheels to offer an even more stable and smooth ride. The J30-40XN model is a four wheel lift truck that has manoeuvrability really similar to a three wheel truck. The four wheel design on this specific model offers a Zero Turning Radius axle which is normally more comfortable when longer distances have to be covered.
There are a lot of optional features and lots of standard features offered on all Hyster lift trucks. The optional operator selectable performance mode will allow the driver to set up performance levels from job to job. Further, it can allow a manager or supervisor to set the maximum level of performance when safety might be an issue, like when a new operator is learning how to utilize the lift truck, helping the operator to learn in a more controlled way.
Enclosed operator cabs could be a great alternative 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. Dual and panoramic rear view mirrors are available to improve driver visibility, especially of the area behind the lift truck and the tail swing area. Impact monitors could be installed which disable the unit and need a supervisor or manager to re-enable the lift truck. This could help to ensure that workers are operating machines safely. To prevent units from rolling when the operator intends to stop, an auto park brake is an optional feature that could be included. The park brake automatically applies itself when the lift truck comes to a complete stop.
Some ratings may be required for various applications. The approved construction standards and in particular the UL GS, LPS, DS underwriter laboratory rating labels would 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 forklift could be used in work areas where sparks or arcs from electrical machinery might ignite airborne deposits.
