To suit all of your application requirements, Hyster carries a diverse variety of lift trucks. The J45-70XN for instance includes a unique component design and a Drop Battery Box that would enable this model to utilize pneumatic tires. The pneumatic tires would enable for a smoother ride by lessening vibrations when the surfaces are bumpy. This kind of electric truck has 4,500 to 7,000 pound capacities for tasks done both indoors and outdoors. The electric motor on these units allows them to be a great zero emissions options to other engines. Hyster provides a line of four wheel forklifts and three wheel forklifts to suit work areas that need a tight turning radius. The J30-40XNT unit is a three wheel lift truck that surpasses nearly all other kinds of forklifts in its ability to manoeuvre through tight spaces and turn sharp corners. This series of lift trucks is suitable in limited or congested work areas, making both unloading and loading easier and safer. This kind of forklift also features dual steering wheels to provide an even smoother and more stable ride. The J30-40XN unit is a four wheel lift truck which has manoeuvrability really similar to a three wheel forklift. The four wheel design on this model provides a Zero Turning Radius axle which is usually much more comfortable if longer distances need to be covered.
Numerous features come standard on all Hyster forklifts, but there are a lot of optional features available too. The operator selectable performance mode option allows the operator set the performance level required on a job to job basis. Further, it can allow a manager or supervisor to set the maximum level of performance when safety could be a concern, such as helping the operator to learn in a more controlled way when a new operator is learning how to use the truck.
In some environments, enclosed operator cabs could be a good alternative for protecting employees from harsh conditions. An emergency exit, tempered glass and sound proofing help to keep the employee safe. Panoramic and dual rear view mirrors are available to increase driver visibility, specially of the tail swing area and the part behind the truck. Impact monitors could be installed that disable the unit and require a supervisor or manager to re-enable the forklift. This could help to make sure that workers are safely operating machines. To prevent lift trucks from rolling when the operator intends to stop, an auto park brake is an optional feature that could be added. The park brake automatically applies itself when the forklift 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 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 can be used in work sites where arcs or sparks from electrical machinery could ignite airborne deposits.
