At Hyster, we carry a diverse array of lift trucks to meet all of your application requirements. Like for instance, the J45-70XN includes the Drop Battery Box and unique component design that enables this model to use pneumatic tires. Utilizing the pneumatic tires allows for a smoother ride due to less vibrations even if the surfaces are rough. This specific electric truck has 4,500 to 7,000 pound capacities for both indoor and outdoor work. The electric motor on these units allows them to be a great zero emissions options to different other engines. Hyster provides a series of three wheel lift trucks as well as four wheel lift trucks to suit work areas which require a tight turning radius. The J30-40XNT unit is a three wheel lift truck which surpasses nearly all other lift trucks in its ability to turn sharp corners and manoeuvre through tight spaces. This line of lift trucks is suitable in crowded or limited work spaces, making loading and unloading safer and easier. This type of forklift also features dual steering wheels to give an even more stable and smooth ride. The J30-40XN model is a four wheel forklift that has manoeuvrability very similar to a three wheel forklift. The four wheel design on this specific unit offers a Zero Turning Radius axle which is generally more comfortable if longer distances need to be covered.
Many features come standard on all Hyster lift trucks, but there are numerous optional features available too. The operator selectable performance mode option enables the driver set the performance level needed on a job to job basis. Further, it can allow a supervisor or manager to set the maximum performance level when safety might be a concern, like for example when a new driver is learning how to use the lift truck, helping the driver to learn in a more controlled way.
Enclosed operator cabs could be a good option in some environments to help protect employees from harsh conditions. To keep the workers safe, the enclosed operator cabs provide tempered glass, sound proofing, and an emergency exit. Dual and panoramic rear view mirrors are available to enhance operator visibility, specially of the area behind the lift truck and the tail swing area. Impact monitors could be installed which disable the model and require a supervisor or manager to re-enable the forklift. This could help to make sure that workers are operating equipment in a safe manner. To prevent forklifts from rolling when the driver intends to stop, an auto park brake is an optional feature which can be added. The park brake automatically applies itself when the unit comes to a full stop.
Some ratings might be required for various applications. The approved construction standards and in particular 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 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 arcs or sparks from electrical equipment could ignite airborne deposits.
