At Hyster we are proud in offering our customers with excellent products that carry low long term ownership costs by being both reliable and dependable. We also offer ongoing service for all your machinery to keep them running well.
Due to 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 need to service motor commutators, brush rigging, or brushes and there is no arching, sparking, or maintenance. What's more, these motors develop lower temperatures overall when compared to DC motors which give equal output. Hyster AC pump and traction 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. What's more, 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. Additionally, brass side thrust plugs enable the driver to make adjustments to the mast easily during maintenance without removing or disassembling the mast. The Vista mast is built and designed by Hyster to precise specs.
Featured on our forklifts is the most dependable steer axle within the business for hydrostatic steering. We have made ours to be reliable and strong, requiring no or little maintenance. For added 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 done or if there is a problem that requires attention before lift operation.
