Hyster prides itselves on offering excellent material handling products that are both reliable and dependable equipment that have low long term costs of ownership. We also offer ongoing service for your equipment to keep them functioning well.
Due to their simplicity compared to a traditional 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 could be as much as 500 hours. There is no need to service brushes, motor commutators or brush rigging and there is no maintenance, arching or sparking. Moreover, these motors develop lower temperatures overall when compared to DC motors which give equal output. Hyster AC pump and traction motors offer better thermal performance, speed capabilities, 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 large window for greater visibility. They feature the nested channel design and have full-face straight load rollers which are canted at three degrees. Furthermore, brass side thrust plugs allow the driver to make adjustments to the mast easily during maintenance without disassembling or removing the mast. The Vista mast is built and designed by Hyster to precise specs.
Hyster forklifts feature the industry's most reliable steer axle in the industry for hydrostatic steering. This steer axle needs no or little maintenance and has been made to be both dependable and strong. For more safety, the Operator Pre-Shift Checklist requires the operator to answer some questions to ensure that the unit has been inspected before utilizing it. This feature is optional that means the lift can be programmed not to start if the checklist is not done or if there is a problem which needs attention before lift operation.
