At Hyster we are proud in offering our customers with excellent machinery that carry low long term ownership costs by being dependable and reliable. We also offer continuous service for your equipment to keep them functioning effectively.
Because of their simplicity compared to a traditional DC motor, Hyster has transitioned to the AC traction and pump motors. When used in a normal working environment, the AC motor's periodic maintenance intervals can be as much as 500 hours. There is no need to service brushes, motor commutators or brush rigging and there is no maintenance, arching or sparking. What's more, these motors develop lower temperatures overall when compared to DC motors that give the same output. Hyster AC pump and traction motors offer better speed capabilities, thermal performance, continued reliability and more torque.
The top of the industry masts, Hyster's vista masts are made of solid steel cast cross members. Additionally, 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 operator to make adjustments to the mast easily during maintenance without having to disassemble or remove the mast. The Vista mast is designed and built by Hyster to exact specs.
Featured on our lift trucks is the most reliable steer axle in the industry for hydrostatic steering. We have built ours to be reliable and durable, requiring no or little maintenance. For added safety, the Operator Pre-Shift Checklist requires the operator to answer certain questions to make sure that the model has been inspected prior to utilizing it. This feature is optional which means the lift could be programmed not to start if the checklist is not completed or if there is a problem which requires attention before lift operation.
