At Hyster we pride ourselves in providing our customers with great products which carry low long term costs of ownership by being both reliable and dependable. We also offer ongoing service for all your machinery to keep them functioning 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 utilized in regular working environments. There is no sparking, maintenance or arching, and no need to service motor commutators, brush rigging, or brushes. Moreover, when compared to DC motors which give the same output, these motors develop lower temperatures overall. Hyster AC pump and traction motors provide better thermal performance, speed capabilities, continued reliability and more torque.
Hyster Vista masts are top of the industry masts which are made of solid steel cast cross members and have a big window for better visibility. They feature the nested channel design and have full-face straight load rollers that are canted at three degrees. In addition, brass side thrust plugs enable the driver to easily make adjustments to the mast during maintenance without removing or disassembling the mast. The Vista mast is designed and built by Hyster to accurate specs.
Featured on our forklifts is the most reliable steer axle in the business for hydrostatic steering. We have built ours to be both reliable and strong, requiring little to no maintenance. For more safety, the Operator Pre-Shift Checklist requires the operator to answer certain questions to ensure that the model has been checked prior to using it. This is an optional feature that 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 completed.
