Hyster prides itselves on providing excellent material handling machines that are both dependable and reliable machines which carry low long term costs of ownership. We also provide ongoing service for your machines to keep them running well.
Hyster has transitioned to the AC traction and pump motors due to their simplicity when compared to conventional DC motors. Periodic maintenance intervals for AC motors can be up to 500 hours when used in normal working environments. There is no need to service brushes, motor commutators or brush rigging and there is no maintenance, arching or sparking. Also, these motors develop lower temperatures overall when compared to DC motors that give equal output. Hyster AC traction and pump motors provide greater speed capabilities, thermal performance, more torque, and continued reliability.
The top of the industry masts, Hyster's vista masts are made of solid steel cast cross members. What's more, they are designed with 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. Additionally, brass side thrust plugs allow the driver to make adjustments to the mast easily during maintenance without having to disassemble or remove the mast. The Vista mast is designed and built by Hyster to precise specs.
Hyster forklifts feature the industry's most dependable steer axle in the business for hydrostatic steering. This steer axle needs little to no maintenance and has been made to be both reliable and strong. For more safety, the Operator Pre-Shift Checklist requires the driver to answer some questions to make certain that the unit has been inspected before using it. This feature is optional that means the lift can be programmed not to start if there is an issue which requires attention before lift operation or if the checklist is not done.
