To suit all of your application requirements, Hyster carries a diverse array of forklifts. The J45-70XN for instance features a unique component design and a Drop Battery Box that would allow this model to use pneumatic tires. The pneumatic tires would enable for a smoother ride by reducing vibrations when the surfaces are rough. This electric truck has 4,500 to 7,000 pound capacities for jobs performed both outdoors and indoors. The electric motor on these models enables them to be a great zero emissions options to different other engines. Hyster offers a series of four wheel forklifts as well as three wheel forklifts to suit work areas which need a tight turning radius. The J30-40XNT unit is a three wheel lift truck that surpasses nearly all other forklifts in its ability to turn sharp corners and manoeuvre through tight spaces. This series of forklifts is great in limited or crowded work spaces, making loading and unloading easier and safer. This type of forklift also features dual steering wheels to provide an even more stable and smooth ride. The J30-40XN unit is a four wheel forklift that has manoeuvrability very similar to a three wheel truck. The four wheel design on this model offers a Zero Turning Radius axle which is normally more comfortable when longer distances have to be covered.
There are many optional features and a lot of standard features provided on all Hyster forklifts. The optional operator selectable performance mode will allow the operator to set up performance levels from job to job. Further, it could enable a supervisor or manager to set the maximum level of performance if safety could be a concern, like for instance when a new operator is learning how to use the forklift, helping the operator to learn in a more controlled way.
In some environments, enclosed operator cabs might be a great option for protecting workers 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, particularly of the tail swing area and the part behind the truck. Impact monitors could be installed which disable the unit and need a supervisor or manager to re-enable the truck. This could help to make certain that employees are safely operating machines. To prevent units from rolling when the driver intends to stop, an auto park brake is an optional feature that could be added. The park brake applied itself automatically when the lift truck comes to a complete stop.
For various applications, some ratings might be needed. UL GS, LPS, DS underwriter laboratory rating label with approved construction standard tells the user that the forklift has been outfitted 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 utilized in work sites where arcs or sparks from electrical machinery might ignite airborne deposits.
