Hyster prides itselves on providing great material handling machines which are both reliable and dependable machinery that have low long term ownership costs. We also offer continuous service for your equipment to keep them working efficiently.
Hyster has transitioned to the AC pump and traction motors due to their simplicity when compared to conventional DC motors. Periodic maintenance intervals for AC motors could be as much as 500 hours when utilized in regular working environments. There is no need to service brushes, motor commutators or brush rigging and there is no sparking, maintenance or arching. In addition, these motors develop lower temperatures overall when compared to DC motors that give the same output. Hyster AC traction and pump motors provide 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. Also, 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 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 precise specs.
Featured on our forklifts is the most reliable steer axle within the industry for hydrostatic steering. We have built ours to be both dependable and strong, requiring no or little maintenance. For more safety, the Operator Pre-Shift Checklist requires the driver to answer certain questions to ensure that the model has been checked before use. This is an optional feature which means the lift could be programmed not to start if the checklist is not completed or if there is an issue that needs attention before lift operation.
