Hyster (Greenville, NC) announces an updated electric counterbalanced forklift in the 4,500 to 7,000-pound capacity range, the Hyster® J45-70A. Designed to provide the dependability required by intense industrial operations with zero exhaust emissions, this electric forklift can be configured with a range of drive motor and battery options to meet the productivity and cost requirements of specific applications.
These pneumatic tire, electric A series models feature robust components and are designed for easy maintenance and reduced downtime. Updated dual-drive electric motors bring the same dependability and reliability that customers expect from internal combustion engines, and an enhanced motor package is available for operations that demand high performance and low energy consumption. The trucks include IP67-rated fully sealed drive motors and axle as standard, providing protection against dust, debris and fluids without the need to specify or add special washdown or environmental protection packages.
Operations can specify the trucks with their choice of battery option, including lead-acid, thin plate pure lead or lithium-ion battery power. This choice enables them to meet day-to-day productivity and sustainability goals, while also alleviating the need to overhaul existing electric infrastructure or charging workflows to accommodate a specific battery option.
The operator compartment features a variety of seat options, generous floor space and a user-friendly touchscreen display. The design prioritizes all-around visibility, with an industry-leading through-the-mast view and a range of overhead guard configurations. A full-steel cabin with air-conditioning or heated options is available, and new hydraulic control options include standard mechanical levers, mini-levers or new dual joystick hydraulic controls.
The Hyster Dynamic Stability System (DSS) comes standard on the Hyster J45-70A, designed to reduce the likelihood of tip overs and product damage through five integrated sensors that dynamically measure travel speed, lift height, tilt angle, load weight and steer angle.
