To meet all of your application requirements, Hyster has a diverse variety of lift trucks. The J45-70XN for example includes a Drop Battery Box and a unique component design that would allow this unit to utilize pneumatic tires. The pneumatic tires will allow for a smoother ride by reducing vibrations if the surfaces are bumpy. This specific electric lift truck has 4,500 to 7,000 pound capacities for jobs done both outdoors and indoors. These models' electric motor allows them to be a great zero emissions alternatives to other engines. Hyster provides a line of three wheel forklifts and four wheel forklifts to suit work areas which require a tight turning radius. The J30-40XNT model is a three wheel lift truck that surpasses nearly all other types of forklifts in its ability to manoeuvre through confined spaces and turn sharp corners. This series of lift trucks is suitable in crowded or limited work spaces, making loading and unloading easier and safer. This type of forklift also features dual steering wheels to offer an even more stable and smooth 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 offers a Zero Turning Radius axle that is usually much more comfortable when longer distances have to be covered.
Many features come standard on all Hyster lift trucks, but there are many optional features available as well. The operator selectable performance mode option lets the driver 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 could be a concern, like helping the driver to learn in a more controlled way if a new driver is learning how to use the truck.
In some environments, enclosed operator cabs might be a good alternative for protecting employees from harsh conditions. Sound proofing, an emergency exit and tempered glass 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 area behind the lift truck. Impact monitors can be installed that disable the unit and require a manager or supervisor to re-enable the forklift. This could help to ensure that employees are safely operating machines. To prevent lift trucks from rolling when the driver intends to stop, an auto park brake is an optional feature that can be added. The park brake automatically applies itself when the forklift comes to a full stop.
For various applications, certain ratings might be required. UL GS, LPS, DS underwriter laboratory rating label with approved construction standard tells the user that the unit has been equipped with added resistance to spark creation. If there is an issue, 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 machines may ignite airborne deposits.
