At Hyster we are proud in providing our customers with excellent machines which carry low long term ownership costs by being both reliable and dependable. We also offer continuous 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 traction and pump motors. When utilized in a typical working environment, the AC motor's periodic maintenance intervals could 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. Furthermore, these motors develop lower temperatures overall when compared to DC motors which give the same output. Hyster AC pump and traction motors offer better speed capabilities, thermal performance, more torque, and continued dependability.
Hyster Vista masts are top of the industry masts that are made of solid steel cast cross members and have a large window for better visibility. They have full-face straight load rollers that 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 having to remove or disassemble the mast. The Vista mast is designed and made by Hyster to accurate specs.
Featured on our forklifts is the most reliable steer axle in the industry 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 before using it. This is an optional feature that means the lift could be programmed not to start if the checklist is not done or if there is an issue that requires attention before lift operation.
