The pneumatic tires will enable for a smoother ride by reducing vibrations if the surfaces are bumpy. This electric forklift has 4,500 to 7,000 pound capacities for both indoor and outdoor work. These units' electric motor enables them to be a great zero emissions alternatives to various other engines. Hyster offers a line of four wheel forklifts as well as three wheel forklifts to suit work areas which require a tight turning radius. The J30-40XNT unit is a three wheel lift truck which surpasses nearly all other lift trucks in its ability to manoeuvre through tight spaces and turn sharp corners. This line of lift trucks is ideal in limited or congested work spaces, making both unloading and loading safer and easier. This truck also features dual steering wheels to offer an even more stable and smooth ride. The J30-40XN model is a four wheel forklift that has manoeuvrability very similar to a three wheel forklift. The four wheel design on this unit offers a Zero Turning Radius axle which is usually a lot more comfortable if longer distances have to be covered.
Numerous features come standard on all Hyster lift trucks, but there are numerous optional features available too. The operator selectable performance mode option enables the operator set the performance level needed on a job to job basis. Further, it can enable a manager or supervisor to set the maximum performance level when safety might be an issue, like if a new driver is learning how to use the forklift, helping the operator to learn in a more controlled way.
In certain environments, enclosed operator cabs could be a great option for protecting workers 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 increase operator visibility, particularly of the tail swing area and the area behind the forklift. Impact monitors could be installed which disable the unit and require a supervisor or manager to re-enable the lift truck. This could help to ensure that employees are safely operating equipment. To prevent forklifts from rolling when the operator intends to stop, an auto park brake is an optional feature that can be added. The park brake automatically applies itself when the lift truck comes to a complete stop.
For different applications, some ratings might be needed. 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 an issue, there is a mechanical main battery disconnect. An EE UL rating means that the forklift can be utilized in work areas where arcs or sparks from electrical machinery can ignite airborne deposits.
