Hyster provides a line of four wheel forklifts and three wheel lift trucks to suit work spaces which need a tight turning radius. The J30-40XNT model is a three wheel lift truck that surpasses most other lift trucks in its ability to manoeuvre through confined spaces and turn sharp corners. This series of lift trucks is great in limited or crowded work spaces, making loading and unloading easier and safer.

There are a lot of optional features and a lot of standard features provided on all Hyster lift trucks. The optional operator selectable performance mode will enable the driver to set up performance levels from job to job. Further, it could allow a manager or supervisor to set the maximum level of performance if safety might be a concern, like helping the driver to learn in a more controlled way if a new operator is learning how to use the truck.
In certain environments, enclosed operator cabs could be a good alternative for protecting workers from harsh conditions. Sound proofing, an emergency exit and tempered glass help to keep the worker safe. Dual and panoramic rear view mirrors are available to enhance operator visibility, especially of the tail swing area and the area behind the truck. Impact monitors can be installed that disable the unit and need a supervisor or manager to re-enable the lift truck. This could help to ensure that workers are safely operating machinery. To prevent units from rolling when the driver intends to stop, an auto park brake is an optional feature that could be added. The park brake applied itself automatically when the unit comes to a full stop.
For various applications, some ratings might be needed. UL GS, LPS, DS underwriter laboratory rating label with approved construction standard tells the operator that the unit has been equipped with added resistance to spark creation. If there is a problem, 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 equipment may ignite airborne deposits.
