Hyster provides a series of four wheel lift trucks and three wheel lift trucks to suit work spaces that require a tight turning radius. The J30-40XNT model is a three wheel lift truck which surpasses most other forklifts in its ability to turn sharp corners and manoeuvre through confined spaces. This series of lift trucks is ideal in crowded or limited work areas, making loading and unloading safer and easier. This kind of forklift also features dual steering wheels to provide an even smoother and more stable ride. The J30-40XN unit is a four wheel lift truck which has manoeuvrability really similar to a three wheel truck. The four wheel design on this specific unit offers a Zero Turning Radius axle which is normally a lot more comfortable when longer distances need to be covered.
There are many optional features and numerous standard features provided on all Hyster lift trucks. The optional operator selectable performance mode would enable the driver to set up performance levels from job to job. Further, it could allow a supervisor or manager to set the maximum performance level if safety might be a concern, like helping the driver to learn in a more controlled way if a new driver is learning how to use the lift truck.
In certain environments, enclosed operator cabs might be a good option for protecting workers from harsh conditions. Tempered glass, sound proofing, and an emergency exit help to keep the employee safe. Dual and panoramic rear view mirrors are available to enhance operator visibility, specially of the part behind the truck and the tail swing area. Impact monitors can be installed which disable the model and need a supervisor or manager to re-enable the truck. This can help to ensure that workers are safely operating machines. 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 applied itself automatically when the unit comes to a complete stop.
Certain ratings might be required for different applications. The approved construction standards and in particular the UL GS, LPS, DS underwriter laboratory rating labels would tell the driver whether the forklift is 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 lift truck can be utilized in work sites where sparks or arcs from electrical machinery can ignite airborne deposits.
