Hyster Co has updated its E30-40HSD three-wheel Electric StandDrive counterbalanced lift truck, available in 3,000-, 3,500-, and 4,000-lb capacities. Design updates have allowed for instant operator access to electrical apparatus, lift pump, drive motors, and power steering assembly. Top and front service panels are made of lightweight ABS plastic designed to snap up and back, giving operators easy access to all regular service points.
A dash with new instrument panel displays battery charge information and extended diagnosis and fault codes. This panel can also monitor hours in-use for each driver by allowing password access to the truck, and gives control of traction modes.
The new Ultima II control handle allows for intuitive movement and simultaneous travel/hoist. This handle works with the operator display for setup of traction and hydraulic functions and is controlled via software. Braking, even in an emergency, is controlled by the software system that forces the truck to stop by gradually reducing torque.
E30-40HSD can be modified with freezer and cooler packages to accommodate food and beverage material-handling needs. It comes in two chassis sizes: one for the 18" nominal battery and another for the 21" nominal battery. Contact Hyster, PO Box 7006, Greenville NC 27835-7006 for more information.
