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