At Hyster we are proud in providing our customers with great machines that have low long term ownership costs by being both reliable and dependable. We also offer ongoing service for your equipment to keep them operating well.
Hyster has transitioned to the AC pump and traction motors because of their simplicity when compared to conventional DC motors. Periodic maintenance intervals for AC motors can be up to 500 hours when used in regular working environments. There is no need to service brush rigging, brushes or motor commutators and there is no maintenance, arching or sparking. In addition, these motors develop lower temperatures overall when compared to DC motors which give equal output. Hyster AC traction and pump motors provide greater thermal performance, speed capabilities, continued reliability and more torque.
Hyster Vista masts are top of the industry masts which are made of solid steel cast cross members and have a big window for greater visibility. They have full-face straight load rollers which are canted at three degrees and feature the nested channel design. Moreover, brass side thrust plugs enable the operator 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 precise specs.
Featured on our lift trucks is the most reliable steer axle in the industry for hydrostatic steering. We have made ours to be both reliable and strong, requiring no or little maintenance. For added safety, the Operator Pre-Shift Checklist requires the driver to answer some questions to make sure that the unit has been checked prior to use. This feature is optional that means the lift could be programmed not to start if the checklist is not done or if there is an issue that requires attention before lift operation.
