At Hyster we are proud in offering all our customers with great machines which carry low long term costs of ownership by being both dependable and reliable. We also provide ongoing service for your machinery to keep them functioning well.
Because of their simplicity compared to a traditional DC motor, Hyster has transitioned to the AC traction and pump motors. When utilized in a normal working environment, the AC motor's periodic maintenance intervals can be up to 500 hours. There is no sparking, maintenance or arching, and no need to service motor commutators, brush rigging, or brushes. Additionally, these motors develop lower temperatures overall when compared to DC motors which give equal output. Hyster AC pump and traction motors provide greater speed capabilities, thermal performance, more torque, and continued dependability.
Hyster Vista masts are top of the industry masts which are made of solid steel cast cross members and have a big window for greater 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 allow the driver to make adjustments to the mast easily during maintenance without disassembling or removing the mast. The Vista mast is built and designed by Hyster to accurate specs.
Featured on our lift trucks is the most reliable steer axle in the industry for hydrostatic steering. We have made ours to be both reliable and strong, requiring little to no maintenance. For added safety, the Operator Pre-Shift Checklist requires the driver to answer certain questions to make certain that the unit 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 an issue that needs attention before lift operation.
