At Hyster, we have a diverse range of forklifts 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 unit to use pneumatic tires. The use of the pneumatic tires enables for a smoother ride due to reduced vibrations even if the surfaces are bumpy. This particular electric forklift has 4,500 to 7,000 pound capacities for both outdoor and indoor work. The electric motor on these models enables them to be a great zero emissions options to various other engines. Hyster provides a series of three wheel trucks as well as 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 turn sharp corners and manoeuvre through confined spaces. This series of forklifts is suitable in crowded or limited work areas, making loading and unloading safer and easier. 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 that has manoeuvrability very similar to a three wheel lift truck. The four wheel design on this specific unit provides a Zero Turning Radius axle which is normally more comfortable if longer distances need to be covered.
A lot of features come standard on all Hyster lift trucks, but there are lots of optional features available as well. The operator selectable performance mode option allows the driver set the level of performance needed on a job to job basis. Further, it could enable a supervisor or manager to set the maximum level of performance if safety might be an issue, like for example if a new operator is learning how to utilize the forklift, helping the operator to learn in a more controlled way.
In certain environments, enclosed operator cabs could be a great alternative for protecting employees from harsh conditions. An emergency exit, tempered glass and sound proofing help to keep the employee safe. Dual and panoramic rear view mirrors are available to increase driver visibility, specially of the tail swing area and the area behind the lift truck. Impact monitors could be installed that disable the unit and need a supervisor or manager to re-enable the lift truck. This could help to ensure that employees are safely operating equipment. 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 applied itself automatically when the forklift comes to a complete stop.
For different applications, certain ratings might be required. UL GS, LPS, DS underwriter laboratory rating label with approved construction standard tells the operator that the lift truck has been equipped 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 could be utilized in work areas where arcs or sparks from electrical machinery may ignite airborne deposits.
