At Hyster we pride ourselves in offering all our clients with excellent products which have low long term costs of ownership by being reliable and dependable. We also provide continuous service for all your machines to keep them operating effectively.
Because of their simplicity compared to a conventional DC motor, Hyster has transitioned to the AC traction and pump motors. When used in a typical working environment, the AC motor's periodic maintenance intervals can be as much as 500 hours. There is no need to service brush rigging, brushes or motor commutators and there is no arching, sparking, or maintenance. 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 thermal performance, speed capabilities, 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 big window for greater visibility. They feature the nested channel design and have full-face straight load rollers which are canted at three degrees. Moreover, brass side thrust plugs enable the operator to easily make adjustments to the mast during maintenance without having to remove or disassemble the mast. The Vista mast is designed and made 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 dependable 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 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 an issue which requires attention before lift operation.
