To suit all of your application needs, Hyster has a diverse range of lift trucks. The J45-70XN for example features a unique component design and a Drop Battery Box that will allow this particular model to use pneumatic tires. The pneumatic tires would enable for a smoother ride by reducing vibrations when the surfaces are bumpy. This kind of electric truck has 4,500 to 7,000 pound capacities for jobs performed both outdoors and indoors. These units' electric motor allows them to be a great zero emissions alternatives to various other engines. Hyster offers a line of three wheel trucks as well as four wheel lift 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 turn sharp corners and manoeuvre through confined spaces. This series of lift trucks is ideal in congested or limited work spaces, making both loading and unloading easier and safer. This 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 lift truck. The four wheel design on this model provides a Zero Turning Radius axle which is usually much more comfortable when longer distances have to be covered.
Numerous features come standard on all Hyster lift trucks, but there are a lot of optional features available too. The operator selectable performance mode option lets the driver set the level of performance required on a job to job basis. Further, it could allow a manager or supervisor to set the maximum performance level when safety might be a concern, like for instance if a new driver is learning how to utilize the truck, helping the operator to learn in a more controlled way.
In some environments, enclosed operator cabs might be a good option for protecting workers from harsh conditions. An emergency exit, tempered glass and sound proofing help to keep the worker safe. Panoramic and dual rear view mirrors are available to enhance driver visibility, particularly of the tail swing area and the part behind the forklift. Impact monitors can be installed that disable the model and need a supervisor or manager to re-enable the lift truck. This can help to make certain that workers are operating equipment in a safe manner. To prevent units from rolling when the driver intends to stop, an auto park brake is an optional feature which can be added. The park brake automatically applies itself when the lift truck comes to a full stop.
Certain ratings may be required for different applications. The approved construction standards and particularly the UL GS, LPS, DS underwriter laboratory rating labels would tell the user whether the unit is 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 lift truck could be used in work areas where sparks or arcs from electrical machines can ignite airborne deposits.
