Hyster offers a line of three wheel forklifts as well as four wheel lift trucks to suit work areas which require a tight turning radius. The J30-40XNT model is a three wheel forklift that surpasses most other forklifts in its ability to manoeuvre through confined spaces and turn sharp corners. This series of lift trucks is suitable in crowded or limited work spaces, making both loading and unloading safer and easier. This type of truck also features dual steering wheels to offer an even more stable and smooth ride. The J30-40XN model 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 a lot more comfortable if longer distances have to be covered.
There are a lot of optional features and numerous standard features provided on all Hyster lift trucks. The optional operator selectable performance mode will enable the operator to set up levels of performance from job to job. Further, it could allow a manager or supervisor to set the maximum level of performance when safety might be an issue, like for example helping the driver to learn in a more controlled way if a new operator is learning how to use the truck.
Enclosed operator cabs could be a great option in some environments to help protect employees from harsh conditions. To keep the workers safe, the enclosed operator cabs provide tempered glass, sound proofing, and an emergency exit. Panoramic and dual rear view mirrors are available to improve driver visibility, specially of the part behind the truck and the tail swing area. Impact monitors can be installed which disable the model and require a supervisor or manager to re-enable the lift truck. This could help to ensure that workers are operating machines safely. To prevent lift trucks from rolling when the operator intends to stop, an auto park brake is an optional feature which can be added. The park brake automatically applies itself when the forklift comes to a complete 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 outfitted 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 sites where sparks or arcs from electrical machines can ignite airborne deposits.
