To meet all of your application needs, Hyster carries a diverse range of forklifts. The J45-70XN for example includes a Drop Battery Box and a unique component design that would allow this unit to utilize pneumatic tires. The pneumatic tires will enable for a smoother ride by reducing vibrations when the surfaces are rough. This type of electric forklift has 4,500 to 7,000 pound capacities for jobs done both outdoors and indoors. The electric motor on these models allows them to be a great zero emissions alternatives to various other engines. Hyster offers a line of four wheel lift trucks and three wheel forklifts to suit work spaces that require a tight turning radius. The J30-40XNT unit is a three wheel lift truck which surpasses nearly all other forklifts in its ability to manoeuvre through confined spaces and turn sharp corners. This series of lift trucks is suitable in limited or crowded work areas, making unloading and loading 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 forklift which has manoeuvrability very similar to a three wheel forklift. The four wheel design on this specific unit provides a Zero Turning Radius axle that is normally more comfortable if longer distances have to be covered.
Many features come standard on all Hyster lift trucks, but there are many optional features available as well. The operator selectable performance mode option enables the operator set the level of performance 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 helping the operator to learn in a more controlled way when a new operator is learning how to utilize the forklift.
Enclosed operator cabs could be a good alternative in some environments to help protect employees from harsh conditions. To keep the workers safe, the enclosed operator cabs provide an emergency exit, tempered glass and sound proofing. Dual and panoramic rear view mirrors are available to increase driver visibility, particularly of the tail swing area and the part behind the forklift. Impact monitors could be installed which disable the unit and need a supervisor or manager to re-enable the truck. This could help to ensure that employees are operating machinery safely. To prevent lift trucks 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 lift truck comes to a full stop.
Some ratings might be required for different applications. The approved construction standards and particularly the UL GS, LPS, DS underwriter laboratory rating labels will tell the user whether the forklift is equipped with added resistance to spark creation. If there is a concern, there is a mechanical main battery disconnect. An EE UL rating means that the lift truck can be utilized in work areas where arcs or sparks from electrical machines can ignite airborne deposits.
