At Hyster we are proud in providing all our clients with great machines that carry low long term costs of ownership by being reliable and dependable. We also provide ongoing service for your equipment to keep them working efficiently.
Due to their simplicity compared to a traditional DC motor, Hyster has transitioned to the AC traction and pump motors. When used in a typical working environment, the AC motor's periodic maintenance intervals could be up to 500 hours. There is no need to service brush rigging, brushes or motor commutators and there is no sparking, maintenance or arching. Furthermore, these motors develop lower temperatures overall when compared to DC motors which give equal output. Hyster AC pump and traction motors provide greater speed capabilities, thermal performance, more torque, and continued reliability.
Hyster Vista masts are top of the industry masts that are made of solid steel cast cross members and have a large window for greater 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 easily make adjustments to the mast during maintenance without having to remove or disassemble the mast. The Vista mast is made and designed by Hyster to accurate specs.
Featured on our forklifts is the most dependable steer axle in the business for hydrostatic steering. We have built ours to be both reliable and strong, requiring no or little maintenance. For added safety, the Operator Pre-Shift Checklist requires the operator to answer certain questions to make certain that the unit has been inspected before utilizing it. This feature is optional which means the lift could be programmed not to start if the checklist is not completed or if there is a problem which needs attention before lift operation.
