To meet all of your application requirements, Hyster has a diverse variety of forklifts. The J45-70XN for example includes a unique component design and a Drop Battery Box which would enable this unit to use 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 jobs done both indoors and outdoors. The electric motor on these units allows them to be a great zero emissions alternatives to other engines. Hyster offers a series of three wheel trucks as well as four wheel forklifts to suit work areas which require a tight turning radius. The J30-40XNT unit is a three wheel lift truck which surpasses most other kinds of forklifts in its ability to turn sharp corners and manoeuvre through tight spaces. This line of forklifts is suitable in congested or limited work areas, making unloading and loading easier and safer. This truck also features dual steering wheels to provide 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 truck. The four wheel design on this particular unit offers a Zero Turning Radius axle that is usually a lot more comfortable if longer distances have to be covered.
Many features come standard on all Hyster forklifts, but there are a lot of optional features available as well. The operator selectable performance mode option lets the driver set the level of performance needed on a job to job basis. Further, it could enable a manager or supervisor to set the maximum level of performance if safety could be an issue, like for example helping the operator 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 good option for protecting employees from harsh conditions. An emergency exit, tempered glass and sound proofing help to keep the employee safe. Dual and panoramic rear view mirrors are available to improve driver visibility, specially of the area behind the forklift and the tail swing area. Impact monitors could 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 operating equipment in a safe manner. 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 applied itself automatically when the lift truck comes to a full stop.
Some ratings might be required for various applications. The approved construction standards and in particular the UL GS, LPS, DS underwriter laboratory rating labels will tell the operator whether the lift truck is 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 lift truck can be used in work sites where arcs or sparks from electrical machinery could ignite airborne deposits.
