To suit all of your application requirements, Hyster has a diverse variety of forklifts. The J45-70XN for example includes a Drop Battery Box and a unique component design which would enable this particular unit to use pneumatic tires. The pneumatic tires would allow for a smoother ride by lessening vibrations if the surfaces are bumpy. This type of electric forklift has 4,500 to 7,000 pound capacities for both outdoor and indoor jobs. These units' electric motor allows them to be a great zero emissions options to other engines. Hyster provides a line of four wheel forklifts as well as three wheel trucks to suit work spaces which need a tight turning radius. The J30-40XNT model is a three wheel forklift that surpasses nearly all other types of lift trucks in its ability to manoeuvre through tight spaces and turn sharp corners. This series of forklifts is great in limited or congested work areas, making loading and unloading safer and easier. This lift truck also features dual steering wheels to give an even smoother and more stable 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 unit provides a Zero Turning Radius axle that is generally much more comfortable when longer distances need to be covered.
Lots of features come standard on all Hyster forklifts, but there are a lot of optional features available too. The operator selectable performance mode option allows 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 an issue, such as when a new operator is learning how to utilize the truck, helping the operator to learn in a more controlled way.
Enclosed operator cabs might be a great 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 increase operator visibility, specially of the tail swing area and the area behind the truck. Impact monitors can be installed that disable the unit and need a supervisor or manager to re-enable the lift truck. This can help to ensure that employees are safely operating machines. To prevent lift trucks from rolling when the operator intends to stop, an auto park brake is an optional feature that could be included. The park brake applied itself automatically when the lift truck comes to a full stop.
Certain ratings may be needed 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 equipped with added resistance to spark creation. If there is a concern, there is a mechanical main battery disconnect. An EE UL rating means that the forklift could be used in work areas where sparks or arcs from electrical equipment may ignite airborne deposits.
