To meet all of your application requirements, Hyster carries a diverse range of forklifts. The J45-70XN for example includes a unique component design and a Drop Battery Box that would allow this unit to use pneumatic tires. The pneumatic tires would allow for a smoother ride by lessening vibrations if the surfaces are bumpy. This electric lift truck has 4,500 to 7,000 pound capacities for both indoor and outdoor jobs. The electric motor on these units allows them to be a great zero emissions alternatives to various other engines. Hyster offers a line of three wheel forklifts and four wheel forklifts to suit work areas that require a tight turning radius. The J30-40XNT unit is a three wheel forklift which surpasses nearly all other kinds of forklifts in its ability to turn sharp corners and manoeuvre through confined spaces. This series of lift trucks is suitable in limited or crowded work spaces, making loading and unloading easier and safer. 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 really similar to a three wheel truck. The four wheel design on this particular unit provides a Zero Turning Radius axle that is normally much more comfortable when longer distances have to be covered.
There are numerous optional features and a lot of standard features provided on all Hyster lift trucks. The optional operator selectable performance mode would enable the operator to set up levels of performance from job to job. Further, it could allow a manager or supervisor to set the maximum performance level when safety could be a concern, like for example if a new driver is learning how to use the truck, helping the driver to learn in a more controlled way.
In certain environments, enclosed operator cabs could be a good option for protecting employees from harsh conditions. Tempered glass, sound proofing, and an emergency exit help to keep the employee safe. Panoramic and dual rear view mirrors are available to enhance operator visibility, especially of the area behind the forklift and the tail swing area. Impact monitors can be installed which disable the model and require a supervisor or manager to re-enable the forklift. This could help to ensure that employees are operating equipment safely. 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 unit comes to a full stop.
Some ratings might be required 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 outfitted 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 utilized in work areas where sparks or arcs from electrical machines can ignite airborne deposits.
