At Hyster we pride ourselves in offering all our clients with great machinery which carry low long term costs of ownership by being both reliable and dependable. We also offer continuous service for all your machinery to keep them working well.
Hyster has transitioned to the AC pump and traction motors because of their simplicity when compared to conventional DC motors. Periodic maintenance intervals for AC motors can be up to 500 hours when used in normal working environments. There is no sparking, maintenance or arching, and no need to service motor commutators, brush rigging, or brushes. Also, when compared to DC motors that give the same output, these motors develop lower temperatures overall. Hyster AC traction and pump motors provide greater thermal performance, speed capabilities, continued reliability and more torque.
The top of the industry masts, Hyster's vista masts are made of solid steel cast cross members. Also, they are designed with a large window for better visibility. They feature the nested channel design and have full-face straight load rollers which are canted at three degrees. Furthermore, brass side thrust plugs allow the operator to make adjustments to the mast easily during maintenance without removing or disassembling the mast. The Vista mast is designed and built by Hyster to precise specs.
Featured on our forklifts is the most dependable steer axle in the business for hydrostatic steering. We have made ours to be reliable and durable, requiring little to no maintenance. For more safety, the Operator Pre-Shift Checklist requires the driver to answer certain questions to ensure that the unit has been inspected prior to use. This is an optional feature which means the lift can be programmed not to start if the checklist is not completed or if there is a problem which requires attention before lift operation.
