Hyster prides itselves on offering great material handling products which are both reliable and dependable equipment which carry low long term costs of ownership. We also offer ongoing service for your machines to keep them working well.
Hyster has transitioned to the AC pump and traction motors because of their simplicity when compared to conventional DC motors. Periodic maintenance intervals for AC motors can be as much as 500 hours when utilized in regular working environments. There is no sparking, maintenance or arching, and no need to service brush rigging, brushes or motor commutators. Additionally, when compared to DC motors which give equal output, these motors develop lower temperatures overall. Hyster AC pump and traction motors offer better speed capabilities, thermal performance, continued dependability and more torque.
Hyster Vista masts are top of the industry masts which are made of solid steel cast cross members and have a large 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 operator to make adjustments to the mast easily during maintenance without disassembling or removing the mast. The Vista mast is designed and made by Hyster to precise specs.
Featured on our forklifts is the most reliable steer axle within the business for hydrostatic steering. We have made ours to be both dependable and strong, requiring no or little maintenance. For more safety, the Operator Pre-Shift Checklist requires the driver to answer some questions to ensure that the model has been checked prior to use. This is an optional feature that means the lift can be programmed not to start if there is a problem which needs attention before lift operation or if the checklist is not completed.
