Hyster prides itselves on providing great material handling products that are both dependable and reliable equipment that carry low long term costs of ownership. We also offer continuous service for your machinery to keep them running efficiently.
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 could be up to 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. Furthermore, 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 dependability.
The top of the industry masts, Hyster's vista masts are made of solid steel cast cross members. In addition, they are designed with a huge window for better 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 driver to make adjustments to the mast easily during maintenance without removing or disassembling the mast. The Vista mast is designed and built by Hyster to accurate specs.
Hyster forklifts feature the industry's most reliable steer axle in the business for hydrostatic steering. This steer axle requires no or little maintenance and has been built to be dependable and strong. For added safety, the Operator Pre-Shift Checklist requires the operator to answer certain questions to ensure that the model has been inspected before using it. 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.
