Hyster prides itselves on providing excellent material handling machines that are both dependable and reliable equipment that have low long term ownership costs. We also provide continuous service for all your machinery to keep them functioning effectively.
Due to their simplicity compared to a conventional DC motor, Hyster has transitioned to the AC traction and pump motors. When utilized in a normal working environment, the AC motor's periodic maintenance intervals can be up to 500 hours. There is no sparking, maintenance or arching, and no need to service motor commutators, brush rigging, or brushes. In addition, these motors develop lower temperatures overall when compared to DC motors that give the same output. Hyster AC traction and pump motors offer greater 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. Furthermore, they are designed with a large window for better 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 allow the driver to easily make adjustments to the mast during maintenance without having to disassemble or remove 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 built ours to be dependable and strong, requiring no or little maintenance. For more safety, the Operator Pre-Shift Checklist requires the driver to answer certain questions to ensure that the unit has been inspected prior to use. This feature is optional that means the lift could be programmed not to start if there is an issue which needs attention before lift operation or if the checklist is not done.
