At Hyster we pride ourselves in offering all our customers with excellent machines that carry low long term ownership costs by being both dependable and reliable. We also offer continuous service for your machines to keep them running well.
Hyster has transitioned to the AC traction and pump motors because of their simplicity when compared to traditional DC motors. Periodic maintenance intervals for AC motors can be as much as 500 hours when used in normal working environments. There is no maintenance, arching or sparking, and no need to service brushes, motor commutators or brush rigging. Additionally, these motors develop lower temperatures overall when compared to DC motors which give equal output. Hyster AC pump and traction motors offer greater speed capabilities, thermal performance, more torque, and continued dependability.
Hyster Vista masts are top of the industry masts which 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 which are canted at three degrees. Additionally, 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 exact specs.
Featured on our forklifts is the most reliable steer axle in the industry for hydrostatic steering. We have made ours to be both dependable and strong, requiring no or little maintenance. For more safety, the Operator Pre-Shift Checklist requires the operator to answer some 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 there is a problem which needs attention before lift operation or if the checklist is not completed.
