At Hyster we pride ourselves in providing our customers with excellent machines which carry low long term costs of ownership by being both dependable and reliable. We also offer continuous service for your equipment to keep them running efficiently.
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 can be as much as 500 hours. There is no maintenance, arching or sparking, and no need to service brush rigging, brushes or motor commutators. Also, these motors develop lower temperatures overall when compared to DC motors which give equal output. Hyster AC traction and pump motors offer greater speed capabilities, thermal performance, continued dependability and more torque.
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 removing or disassembling the mast. The Vista mast is made and designed by Hyster to exact specs.
Featured on our forklifts is the most reliable steer axle within the industry for hydrostatic steering. We have built ours to be dependable and durable, requiring little to no maintenance. For added safety, the Operator Pre-Shift Checklist requires the driver to answer some questions to make certain that the unit has been checked before use. This feature is optional that means the lift could be programmed not to start if there is an issue that needs attention before lift operation or if the checklist is not completed.
