Hyster prides itselves on providing excellent material handling machines that are dependable and reliable machines which carry low long term ownership costs. We also offer continuous service for all your equipment to keep them functioning efficiently.
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 could be up to 500 hours. There is no sparking, maintenance or arching, and no need to service brushes, motor commutators or brush rigging. Also, these motors develop lower temperatures overall when compared to DC motors which give equal output. Hyster AC pump and traction motors offer greater thermal performance, speed capabilities, more torque, and continued reliability.
The top of the industry masts, Hyster's vista masts are made of solid steel cast cross members. Moreover, they are designed with a large window for greater visibility. They have full-face straight load rollers which are canted at three degrees and feature the nested channel design. Furthermore, brass side thrust plugs allow the driver to make adjustments to the mast easily during maintenance without having to disassemble or remove the mast. The Vista mast is built and designed by Hyster to precise specs.
Featured on our forklifts is the most dependable steer axle in the business for hydrostatic steering. We have made ours to be dependable and durable, requiring no or little maintenance. For more safety, the Operator Pre-Shift Checklist requires the operator to answer some questions to ensure that the unit has been checked before utilizing it. This feature is optional that means the lift can be programmed not to start if the checklist is not completed or if there is a problem which requires attention before lift operation.
