Hyster prides itselves on providing great material handling products that are both dependable and reliable machines that carry low long term costs of ownership. We also provide ongoing service for all your machinery to keep them operating well.
Because of their simplicity compared to a conventional DC motor, Hyster has transitioned to the AC pump motors and traction. When utilized in a normal working environment, the AC motor's periodic maintenance intervals can be as much as 500 hours. 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 that give equal output. Hyster AC pump and traction motors provide better speed capabilities, thermal performance, more torque, and continued dependability.
The top of the industry masts, Hyster's vista masts are made of solid steel cast cross members. Additionally, they are designed with a big window for better visibility. They have full-face straight load rollers that are canted at three degrees and feature the nested channel design. In addition, brass side thrust plugs allow the driver to easily make adjustments to the mast during maintenance without disassembling or removing the mast. The Vista mast is built and designed by Hyster to exact specs.
Hyster forklifts feature the industry's most dependable steer axle in the industry for hydrostatic steering. This steer axle requires little to no maintenance and has been built to be reliable and strong. For added safety, the Operator Pre-Shift Checklist requires the driver to answer some questions to make sure that the unit has been checked before use. This is an optional feature that means the lift can be programmed not to start if the checklist is not completed or if there is a problem that needs attention before lift operation.
