The J45-70XN for example includes a Drop Battery Box and a unique component design that will enable this unit to utilize pneumatic tires. The pneumatic tires will enable for a smoother ride by reducing vibrations when the surfaces are bumpy. This particular electric forklift has 4,500 to 7,000 pound capacities for tasks done both indoors and outdoors. The electric motor on these units enables them to be a great zero emissions alternatives to other engines. Hyster offers a series of four wheel lift trucks as well as three wheel trucks to suit work spaces which require a tight turning radius. The J30-40XNT unit is a three wheel lift truck which surpasses nearly all other forklifts in its ability to manoeuvre through confined spaces and turn sharp corners. This line of lift trucks is ideal in limited or congested work spaces, making unloading and loading safer and easier. This kind of truck also features dual steering wheels to provide an even more stable and smooth ride. The J30-40XN unit is a four wheel lift truck that has manoeuvrability really similar to a three wheel forklift. The four wheel design on this model provides a Zero Turning Radius axle which is usually more comfortable when longer distances need to be covered.
There are many optional features and lots of standard features provided on all Hyster forklifts. 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 supervisor or manager to set the maximum performance level if safety could be an issue, like if a new operator is learning how to use the truck, helping the operator to learn in a more controlled way.
Enclosed operator cabs might be a good option in certain environments to help protect employees from harsh conditions. To keep the employees safe, the enclosed operator cabs provide an emergency exit, tempered glass and sound proofing. Panoramic and dual rear view mirrors are available to increase driver visibility, specially of the area behind the forklift and the tail swing area. Impact monitors can be installed which disable the unit and require a supervisor or manager to re-enable the lift truck. This could help to make sure that workers are safely operating equipment. To prevent units from rolling when the driver intends to stop, an auto park brake is an optional feature that could be included. The park brake automatically applies itself when the unit 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 operator whether the forklift is 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 forklift could be utilized in work areas where arcs or sparks from electrical machines may ignite airborne deposits.
