To meet all of your application requirements, Hyster carries a diverse array of forklifts. The J45-70XN for instance has a unique component design and a Drop Battery Box that would enable this unit to utilize pneumatic tires. The pneumatic tires will enable for a smoother ride by reducing vibrations if the surfaces are rough. This electric truck has 4,500 to 7,000 pound capacities for both indoor and outdoor work. The electric motor on these models allows them to be a great zero emissions alternatives to various other engines. Hyster provides a series of four wheel lift trucks as well as three wheel lift trucks to suit work areas that need a tight turning radius. The J30-40XNT unit is a three wheel forklift which surpasses most other lift trucks in its ability to turn sharp corners and manoeuvre through confined spaces. This series of forklifts is ideal in limited or crowded work spaces, making both unloading and loading easier and safer. This kind of lift truck also features dual steering wheels to give an even more stable and smooth ride. The J30-40XN model is a four wheel lift truck that has manoeuvrability very similar to a three wheel truck. The four wheel design on this particular model provides a Zero Turning Radius axle which is usually much more comfortable if longer distances need to be covered.
Many features come standard on all Hyster lift trucks, but there are lots of optional features available too. The operator selectable performance mode option allows the operator set the level of performance needed on a job to job basis. Further, it can enable a manager or supervisor to set the maximum performance level when safety could be a concern, such as if a new driver is learning how to use the truck, helping the operator to learn in a more controlled way.
Enclosed operator cabs might be a good alternative in some environments to help protect employees from harsh conditions. To keep the employees safe, the enclosed operator cabs provide tempered glass, sound proofing, and an emergency exit. Panoramic and dual rear view mirrors are available to improve driver visibility, specially of the part behind the truck and the tail swing area. Impact monitors could be installed that disable the unit and need a supervisor or manager to re-enable the forklift. This can help to ensure that workers are operating equipment safely. 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 full stop.
Certain ratings may be required for different applications. The approved construction standards and in particular the UL GS, LPS, DS underwriter laboratory rating labels will tell the operator whether the unit is outfitted 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 forklift can be utilized in work sites where arcs or sparks from electrical machinery can ignite airborne deposits.
