At Hyster we pride ourselves in offering all our clients with excellent machines that carry low long term ownership costs by being dependable and reliable. We also offer ongoing service for your equipment to keep them working smoothly.
Hyster has transitioned to the AC pump and traction motors because of their simplicity when compared to traditional DC motors. Periodic maintenance intervals for AC motors could be up to 500 hours when used in regular working environments. There is no need to service motor commutators, brush rigging, or brushes and there is no maintenance, arching or sparking. Moreover, when compared to DC motors which give equal output, these motors develop lower temperatures overall. Hyster AC pump and traction motors offer better speed capabilities, thermal performance, more torque, and continued dependability.
The top of the industry masts, Hyster's vista masts are made of solid steel cast cross members. Furthermore, they are designed with a huge 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 allow the driver to easily make adjustments to the mast during maintenance without having to disassemble or remove the mast. The Vista mast is made and designed by Hyster to precise specs.
Featured on our forklifts is the most dependable steer axle in the industry for hydrostatic steering. We have made ours to be dependable and durable, requiring no or little maintenance. For added safety, the Operator Pre-Shift Checklist requires the operator to answer some questions to ensure that the model has been checked before using it. This feature is optional which means the lift can be programmed not to start if there is an issue which needs attention before lift operation or if the checklist is not done.
