To suit all of your application requirements, Hyster has a diverse array of forklifts. The J45-70XN for instance features a Drop Battery Box and a unique component design that would allow this unit to use pneumatic tires. The pneumatic tires would enable for a smoother ride by lessening vibrations if the surfaces are rough. This electric lift truck has 4,500 to 7,000 pound capacities for both indoor and outdoor work. The electric motor on these units enables them to be a great zero emissions alternatives to other engines. Hyster offers a line of three wheel lift trucks and four wheel forklifts to suit work spaces which require a tight turning radius. The J30-40XNT model is a three wheel forklift that surpasses most other forklifts in its ability to manoeuvre through confined spaces and turn sharp corners. This series of forklifts is suitable in congested or limited work areas, making unloading and loading 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 lift truck that has manoeuvrability very similar to a three wheel lift truck. The four wheel design on this particular model offers a Zero Turning Radius axle which is normally much more comfortable when longer distances need to be covered.
Many features come standard on all Hyster forklifts, but there are lots of optional features available too. The operator selectable performance mode option lets the operator set the performance level needed on a job to job basis. Further, it could allow a supervisor or manager to set the maximum level of performance if safety could be a concern, like for instance if a new operator is learning how to use the lift truck, helping the operator to learn in a more controlled way.
In some environments, enclosed operator cabs might be a great alternative for protecting workers from harsh conditions. Sound proofing, an emergency exit and tempered glass help to keep the worker safe. Panoramic and dual rear view mirrors are available to improve operator visibility, especially of the area behind the lift truck and the tail swing area. Impact monitors could be installed which disable the unit and need a manager or supervisor to re-enable the forklift. This can help to make certain that workers are safely operating equipment. To prevent lift trucks from rolling when the operator intends to stop, an auto park brake is an optional feature that could be added. The park brake applied itself automatically when the forklift comes to a complete stop.
For different applications, some ratings may be needed. UL GS, LPS, DS underwriter laboratory rating label with approved construction standard tells the driver that the forklift 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 sites where arcs or sparks from electrical machines could ignite airborne deposits.
