The electric motor on these models allows them to be a great zero emissions alternatives to other engines. Hyster provides a line of three wheel forklifts as well as four wheel forklifts to suit work spaces which need a tight turning radius. The J30-40XNT unit is a three wheel forklift which surpasses most other types of lift trucks in its ability to manoeuvre through tight spaces and turn sharp corners. This series of lift trucks is ideal in limited or congested work areas, making loading and unloading easier and safer. This forklift also features dual steering wheels to give an even smoother and more stable ride. The J30-40XN unit is a four wheel forklift which has manoeuvrability really similar to a three wheel truck.

There are many optional features and lots of standard features offered on all Hyster forklifts. The optional operator selectable performance mode will allow the operator to set up performance levels from job to job. Further, it could enable a supervisor or manager to set the maximum performance level when safety could be a concern, like for instance when a new operator is learning how to use the lift truck, helping the operator to learn in a more controlled way.
Enclosed operator cabs could be a good alternative in certain environments to help protect employees from harsh conditions. To keep the workers safe, the enclosed operator cabs provide an emergency exit, tempered glass and sound proofing. Panoramic and dual rear view mirrors are available to improve operator visibility, especially of the tail swing area and the part behind the forklift. Impact monitors can be installed which disable the unit and require a manager or supervisor to re-enable the lift truck. This could help to make certain that employees are operating machines safely.

If there is an issue, there is a mechanical main battery disconnect. An EE UL rating means that the forklift can be utilized in work sites where sparks or arcs from electrical machinery may ignite airborne deposits.
