These models' electric motor enables them to be a great zero emissions alternatives to other engines. Hyster provides a series of three wheel lift trucks and four wheel forklifts to suit work spaces that require a tight turning radius. The J30-40XNT unit is a three wheel lift truck that surpasses most other lift trucks in its ability to turn sharp corners and manoeuvre through tight spaces. This line of forklifts is suitable in limited or congested work areas, making unloading and loading safer and easier. This truck also features dual steering wheels to give 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 unit provides a Zero Turning Radius axle that is usually 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 as well. The operator selectable performance mode option enables the operator set the performance level needed on a job to job basis. Further, it could allow a supervisor or manager to set the maximum level of performance when safety might be an issue, like for example helping the operator to learn in a more controlled way when a new driver is learning how to use the lift truck.
Enclosed operator cabs could be a great alternative in certain environments to help protect workers from harsh conditions. To keep the workers safe, the enclosed operator cabs provide sound proofing, an emergency exit and tempered glass. Panoramic and dual rear view mirrors are available to enhance driver visibility, especially of the tail swing area and the area behind the lift truck. Impact monitors can be installed which disable the model and require a supervisor or manager to re-enable the truck. This can help to ensure that workers are safely operating equipment. To prevent forklifts from rolling when the driver intends to stop, an auto park brake is an optional feature that could be added. The park brake automatically applies itself when the lift truck comes to a complete stop.
For different applications, certain ratings might 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 an issue, there is a mechanical main battery disconnect. An EE UL rating means that the forklift could be used in work sites where arcs or sparks from electrical machinery may ignite airborne deposits.
