At Hyster we pride ourselves in offering our customers with great products which have low long term ownership costs by being reliable and dependable. We also provide ongoing service for your machinery to keep them functioning efficiently.
Because of their simplicity compared to a conventional DC motor, Hyster has transitioned to the AC pump motors and traction. When utilized in a typical working environment, the AC motor's periodic maintenance intervals can be as much as 500 hours. There is no need to service brush rigging, brushes or motor commutators and there is no maintenance, arching or sparking. In addition, these motors develop lower temperatures overall when compared to DC motors that give equal output. Hyster AC traction and pump motors provide better thermal performance, speed capabilities, continued dependability and more torque.
The top of the industry masts, Hyster's vista masts are made of solid steel cast cross members. In addition, they are designed with a big window for better visibility. They have full-face straight load rollers which are canted at three degrees and feature the nested channel design. In addition, brass side thrust plugs enable the driver to make adjustments to the mast easily during maintenance without disassembling or removing the mast. The Vista mast is made and designed by Hyster to accurate specs.
Featured on our forklifts is the most reliable steer axle in the industry for hydrostatic steering. We have made ours to be dependable and durable, requiring little to no maintenance. For more safety, the Operator Pre-Shift Checklist requires the operator to answer some questions to ensure that the model has been inspected before utilizing it. This feature is optional which means the lift can be programmed not to start if the checklist is not completed or if there is an issue which requires attention before lift operation.
