To suit all of your application needs, Hyster has a diverse array of forklifts. The J45-70XN for instance has a Drop Battery Box and a unique component design which would allow this particular model to use pneumatic tires. The pneumatic tires would allow for a smoother ride by reducing vibrations if the surfaces are bumpy. This specific electric truck has 4,500 to 7,000 pound capacities for both outdoor and indoor work. These models' electric motor allows them to be a great zero emissions alternatives to different other engines. Hyster offers a series of four wheel lift trucks and three wheel lift trucks to suit work spaces which need a tight turning radius. The J30-40XNT unit is a three wheel lift truck that surpasses most other forklifts in its ability to turn sharp corners and manoeuvre through tight spaces. This line of lift trucks is great in limited or congested work spaces, making both loading and unloading safer and easier. This lift truck also features dual steering wheels to provide an even more stable and smooth ride. The J30-40XN unit is a four wheel forklift which has manoeuvrability very similar to a three wheel truck. The four wheel design on this model offers a Zero Turning Radius axle that is usually more comfortable when longer distances need to be covered.
Numerous features come standard on all Hyster forklifts, but there are numerous optional features available as well. The operator selectable performance mode option enables the operator set the performance level needed on a job to job basis. Further, it can enable a manager or supervisor to set the maximum level of performance if safety could be a concern, like helping the driver to learn in a more controlled way when a new operator is learning how to utilize the lift truck.
Enclosed operator cabs could be a good alternative in some environments to help protect workers 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 improve driver visibility, especially of the area behind the forklift and the tail swing area. Impact monitors can be installed which disable the unit and require a manager or supervisor to re-enable the forklift. This could help to make sure that employees are safely operating machinery. To prevent lift trucks from rolling when the operator intends to stop, an auto park brake is an optional feature which can be added. The park brake automatically applies itself when the forklift comes to a complete stop.
For various applications, certain ratings may be required. UL GS, LPS, DS underwriter laboratory rating label with approved construction standard tells the user that the unit has been 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 could be utilized in work sites where arcs or sparks from electrical machinery could ignite airborne deposits.
