At Hyster, we carry a diverse range of lift trucks to suit all of your application requirements. For instance, the J45-70XN features the Drop Battery Box and unique component design that allows this model to use pneumatic tires. Utilizing the pneumatic tires allows for a smoother ride because of less vibrations even if the surfaces are rough. This electric truck has 4,500 to 7,000 pound capacities for tasks performed both outdoors and indoors. The electric motor on these units enables them to be a great zero emissions options to various other engines. Hyster offers a line of four wheel lift trucks and three wheel lift trucks to suit work spaces which need a tight turning radius. The J30-40XNT unit is a three wheel lift truck that surpasses most other types of lift trucks in its ability to turn sharp corners and manoeuvre through tight spaces. This series of forklifts is great in congested or limited work areas, making both loading and unloading easier and safer. This type of forklift also features dual steering wheels to provide an even smoother and more stable ride. The J30-40XN model is a four wheel lift truck which has manoeuvrability very similar to a three wheel lift truck. The four wheel design on this unit provides a Zero Turning Radius axle that is usually more comfortable when longer distances need to be covered.
Many features come standard on all Hyster lift trucks, but there are numerous optional features available as well. The operator selectable performance mode option enables the operator 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 when safety might be an issue, such as when a new driver is learning how to utilize the lift truck, helping the driver to learn in a more controlled way.
In some environments, enclosed operator cabs might be a great option for protecting employees from harsh conditions. An emergency exit, tempered glass and sound proofing help to keep the worker safe. Panoramic and dual rear view mirrors are available to enhance driver visibility, specially of the tail swing area and the part behind the lift truck. Impact monitors could be installed which disable the unit and need a manager or supervisor to re-enable the forklift. This can help to ensure that employees are operating equipment safely. To prevent units from rolling when the operator intends to stop, an auto park brake is an optional feature that can be added. The park brake automatically applies itself when the forklift comes to a full stop.
Certain ratings may be needed for different applications. The approved construction standards and particularly the UL GS, LPS, DS underwriter laboratory rating labels will tell the driver whether the unit 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 sparks or arcs from electrical machines can ignite airborne deposits.
