For instance, the J45-70XN features the unique component design and Drop Battery Box that allows this model to utilize pneumatic tires. Using the pneumatic tires enables for a smoother ride because of reduced vibrations even if the surfaces are rough. This electric truck has 4,500 to 7,000 pound capacities for both outdoor and indoor jobs. The electric motor on these units allows them to be a great zero emissions options to other engines. Hyster provides a series of four wheel lift trucks and three wheel lift trucks 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 lift trucks in its ability to turn sharp corners and manoeuvre through confined spaces. This series of lift trucks is ideal in limited or congested work spaces, making loading and unloading safer and easier. This type of lift truck also features dual steering wheels to offer an even more stable and smooth ride. The J30-40XN model is a four wheel forklift which has manoeuvrability very similar to a three wheel truck. The four wheel design on this particular model provides a Zero Turning Radius axle which is usually more comfortable if longer distances have to be covered.
A lot of features come standard on all Hyster lift trucks, but there are a lot of optional features available as well. The operator selectable performance mode option lets the operator set the level of performance required on a job to job basis. Further, it could allow a supervisor or manager to set the maximum level of performance if safety might be an issue, like helping the driver to learn in a more controlled way if a new driver is learning how to use the forklift.
Enclosed operator cabs could be a good option in certain environments to help protect workers from harsh conditions. To keep the employees safe, the enclosed operator cabs provide tempered glass, sound proofing, and an emergency exit. Dual and panoramic rear view mirrors are available to improve driver visibility, especially of the tail swing area and the part behind the lift truck. Impact monitors could be installed that disable the model and require a manager or supervisor to re-enable the truck. This can help to make sure that employees are operating equipment in a safe manner. To prevent forklifts from rolling when the operator intends to stop, an auto park brake is an optional feature which could be included. The park brake automatically applies itself when the unit comes to a complete stop.
For various applications, some ratings may be required. UL GS, LPS, DS underwriter laboratory rating label with approved construction standard tells the driver that the forklift has been 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 utilized in work areas where arcs or sparks from electrical machines could ignite airborne deposits.
