At Hyster we are proud in offering our clients with great machinery that have low long term ownership costs by being both dependable and reliable. We also provide ongoing service for your equipment to keep them running 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 can be as much as 500 hours when used in normal working environments. There is no need to service brushes, motor commutators or brush rigging and there is no sparking, maintenance or arching. What's more, these motors develop lower temperatures overall when compared to DC motors that give equal output. Hyster AC traction and pump motors offer better 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. What's more, they are designed with a huge window for greater visibility. They feature the nested channel design and have full-face straight load rollers which are canted at three degrees. In addition, brass side thrust plugs allow the operator to easily make adjustments to the mast during maintenance without disassembling or removing the mast. The Vista mast is designed and made by Hyster to accurate specs.
Featured on our forklifts is the most reliable steer axle within the business for hydrostatic steering. We have made ours to be both reliable and durable, requiring no or little maintenance. For more safety, the Operator Pre-Shift Checklist requires the driver to answer certain questions to make sure that the unit has been inspected prior to utilizing it. This feature is optional that means the lift could be programmed not to start if there is an issue that requires attention before lift operation or if the checklist is not done.
