To suit all of your application needs, Hyster carries a diverse range of forklifts. The J45-70XN for instance features a Drop Battery Box and a unique component design which would enable this model to use pneumatic tires. The pneumatic tires would enable for a smoother ride by lessening vibrations when the surfaces are bumpy. This electric forklift has 4,500 to 7,000 pound capacities for jobs performed both outdoors and indoors. The electric motor on these models allows them to be a great zero emissions options to different other engines. Hyster provides a series of three wheel forklifts as well as four wheel forklifts to suit work areas that require a tight turning radius. The J30-40XNT model is a three wheel forklift that surpasses nearly all other forklifts in its ability to manoeuvre through confined spaces and turn sharp corners. This line of forklifts is ideal in limited or crowded work spaces, making both unloading and loading safer and easier. This kind of forklift also features dual steering wheels to give an even smoother and more stable ride. The J30-40XN unit is a four wheel lift truck which has manoeuvrability really similar to a three wheel forklift. The four wheel design on this model provides a Zero Turning Radius axle which is normally more comfortable when longer distances need to be covered.
Numerous features come standard on all Hyster forklifts, but there are a lot of optional features available as well. The operator selectable performance mode option allows 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 level of performance if safety might be a concern, like when a new operator is learning how to use the forklift, helping the operator to learn in a more controlled way.
Enclosed operator cabs could be a good option in certain environments to help protect employees from harsh conditions. To keep the workers safe, the enclosed operator cabs provide an emergency exit, tempered glass and sound proofing. Panoramic and dual rear view mirrors are available to improve operator visibility, particularly of the area behind the forklift and the tail swing area. Impact monitors can be installed which disable the unit and require a supervisor or manager to re-enable the truck. This can help to ensure that workers are operating equipment safely. To prevent forklifts from rolling when the operator intends to stop, an auto park brake is an optional feature which can be added. The park brake applied itself automatically when the unit comes to a complete stop.
Some ratings might be needed for different applications. The approved construction standards and in particular the UL GS, LPS, DS underwriter laboratory rating labels will tell the driver 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 can be utilized in work sites where arcs or sparks from electrical equipment may ignite airborne deposits.
