To meet all of your application requirements, Hyster has a diverse range of forklifts. The J45-70XN for instance features a unique component design and a Drop Battery Box which will allow this particular model to utilize pneumatic tires. The pneumatic tires will enable for a smoother ride by reducing vibrations when the surfaces are rough. This particular electric lift truck has 4,500 to 7,000 pound capacities for jobs performed both outdoors and indoors. These units' electric motor enables them to be a great zero emissions alternatives to other engines. Hyster provides a series of three wheel lift trucks and four wheel lift trucks to suit work spaces that require a tight turning radius. The J30-40XNT model is a three wheel lift truck that surpasses most other forklifts in its ability to turn sharp corners and manoeuvre through confined spaces. This line of lift trucks is suitable in crowded or limited work spaces, making unloading and loading safer and easier. This kind of lift truck also features dual steering wheels to offer an even more stable and smooth ride. The J30-40XN model is a four wheel lift truck that has manoeuvrability really similar to a three wheel forklift. The four wheel design on this specific unit provides a Zero Turning Radius axle which is usually a lot more comfortable when longer distances need to be covered.
A lot of 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 level of performance needed on a job to job basis. Further, it can allow a supervisor or manager to set the maximum level of performance if safety could be a concern, like for instance helping the driver to learn in a more controlled way if a new operator is learning how to use the forklift.
In some environments, enclosed operator cabs might be a good option for protecting employees from harsh conditions. Sound proofing, an emergency exit and tempered glass help to keep the employee safe. Panoramic and dual rear view mirrors are available to increase driver visibility, specially of the area behind the truck and the tail swing area. Impact monitors could be installed which disable the unit and require a manager or supervisor to re-enable the lift truck. This can help to ensure that workers are safely operating machines. To prevent forklifts from rolling when the operator intends to stop, an auto park brake is an optional feature which could be included. The park brake applied itself automatically when the forklift comes to a full stop.
For various applications, certain ratings might be required. UL GS, LPS, DS underwriter laboratory rating label with approved construction standard tells the user that the forklift has been 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 forklift could be used in work areas where arcs or sparks from electrical machinery may ignite airborne deposits.
