Hyster prides itselves on providing great material handling machinery that are reliable and dependable machinery that have low long term costs of ownership. We also provide continuous service for your equipment to keep them working 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 utilized in normal working environments. There is no need to service brush rigging, brushes or motor commutators and there is no arching, sparking, or maintenance. Also, these motors develop lower temperatures overall when compared to DC motors which give the same output. Hyster AC pump and traction 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. Also, 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. Moreover, brass side thrust plugs allow the operator to easily make adjustments to the mast during maintenance without removing or disassembling the mast. The Vista mast is built and designed by Hyster to exact specs.
Featured on our lift trucks is the most dependable steer axle within the industry for hydrostatic steering. We have built ours to be both reliable and strong, requiring little to no maintenance. For added safety, the Operator Pre-Shift Checklist requires the driver to answer certain questions to make certain that the model has been inspected prior to use. This feature is optional which means the lift can be programmed not to start if the checklist is not completed or if there is an issue that needs attention before lift operation.
