Hyster prides itselves on providing great material handling machines which are both dependable and reliable equipment that carry low long term ownership costs. We also provide ongoing service for your machinery to keep them functioning effectively.
Because of their simplicity compared to a conventional DC motor, Hyster has transitioned to the AC traction and pump motors. When utilized in a regular working environment, the AC motor's periodic maintenance intervals can be up to 500 hours. There is no need to service brushes, motor commutators or brush rigging and there is no arching, sparking, or maintenance. In addition, when compared to DC motors which give equal output, these motors develop lower temperatures overall. Hyster AC traction and pump motors offer greater thermal performance, speed capabilities, more torque, and continued dependability.
The top of the industry masts, Hyster's vista masts are made of solid steel cast cross members. Furthermore, they are designed with a big window for better visibility. They feature the nested channel design and have full-face straight load rollers that are canted at three degrees. Furthermore, 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 built by Hyster to accurate specs.
Featured on our lift trucks is the most reliable steer axle within the business for hydrostatic steering. We have built ours to be reliable and strong, requiring little to no maintenance. For added safety, the Operator Pre-Shift Checklist requires the operator to answer some questions to ensure that the unit has been checked prior to use. This feature is optional that means the lift can be programmed not to start if there is a problem which requires attention before lift operation or if the checklist is not done.
