To suit all of your application requirements, Hyster carries a diverse range of forklifts. The J45-70XN for instance features a Drop Battery Box and a unique component design which will allow this unit to utilize pneumatic tires. The pneumatic tires would enable for a smoother ride by lessening vibrations when the surfaces are rough. This kind of electric lift truck has 4,500 to 7,000 pound capacities for tasks done both outdoors and indoors. The electric motor on these units enables them to be a great zero emissions options to various other engines. Hyster offers a series of four wheel forklifts and three wheel trucks to suit work spaces that require a tight turning radius. The J30-40XNT unit is a three wheel lift truck that surpasses nearly all other kinds of lift trucks in its ability to manoeuvre through confined spaces and turn sharp corners. This line of forklifts is suitable in crowded or limited work areas, making unloading and loading safer and easier. This forklift also features dual steering wheels to provide an even more stable and smooth ride. The J30-40XN unit is a four wheel lift truck which has manoeuvrability very similar to a three wheel forklift. The four wheel design on this model offers a Zero Turning Radius axle which is normally more comfortable when longer distances have 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 enables the operator set the performance level required on a job to job basis. Further, it could enable a supervisor or manager to set the maximum level of performance when safety might be an issue, such as helping the driver to learn in a more controlled way if a new driver is learning how to utilize the truck.
In certain environments, enclosed operator cabs might be a great option for protecting employees from harsh conditions. Sound proofing, an emergency exit and tempered glass help to keep the employee safe. Dual and panoramic rear view mirrors are available to increase driver visibility, particularly of the tail swing area and the part behind the truck. Impact monitors could be installed which disable the unit and require a manager or supervisor to re-enable the truck. This can help to ensure that workers are operating equipment safely. To prevent forklifts from rolling when the driver intends to stop, an auto park brake is an optional feature that can be included. The park brake automatically applies itself when the unit comes to a full stop.
Certain ratings may be needed for different applications. The approved construction standards and particularly the UL GS, LPS, DS underwriter laboratory rating labels will tell the user whether the lift truck 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 lift truck could be used in work areas where arcs or sparks from electrical equipment may ignite airborne deposits.
