At Hyster we pride ourselves in offering our clients with excellent machines that have low long term ownership costs by being reliable and dependable. We also offer continuous service for all your machines to keep them running efficiently.
Hyster has transitioned to the AC traction and pump motors because of their simplicity when compared to traditional DC motors. Periodic maintenance intervals for AC motors can be up to 500 hours when used in normal working environments. There is no arching, sparking, or maintenance, and no need to service brush rigging, brushes or motor commutators. Also, these motors develop lower temperatures overall when compared to DC motors which give the same output. Hyster AC traction and pump motors offer greater speed capabilities, thermal performance, 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 large window for better visibility. They have full-face straight load rollers that are canted at three degrees and feature the nested channel design. In addition, brass side thrust plugs enable the operator to make adjustments to the mast easily during maintenance without having to disassemble or remove the mast. The Vista mast is built and designed by Hyster to accurate specs.
Featured on our forklifts is the most dependable steer axle in the industry for hydrostatic steering. We have made ours to be both reliable and strong, requiring no or little maintenance. For added safety, the Operator Pre-Shift Checklist requires the driver to answer some questions to ensure that the model has been inspected prior to use. This feature is optional that means the lift can be programmed not to start if the checklist is not done or if there is a problem that needs attention before lift operation.
