Hyster prides itselves on offering excellent material handling machinery which are reliable and dependable equipment that have low long term costs of ownership. We also offer continuous service for your machinery to keep them working effectively.
Hyster has transitioned to the AC pump and traction motors due to their simplicity when compared to traditional DC motors. Periodic maintenance intervals for AC motors can be up to 500 hours when utilized in typical working environments. There is no arching, sparking, or maintenance, and no need to service motor commutators, brush rigging, or brushes. Moreover, these motors develop lower temperatures overall when compared to DC motors that give equal output. Hyster AC traction and pump motors offer better speed capabilities, thermal performance, continued reliability and more torque.
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 have full-face straight load rollers that are canted at three degrees and feature the nested channel design. Furthermore, 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 built by Hyster to precise specs.
Featured on our lift trucks is the most reliable steer axle within the industry for hydrostatic steering. We have built ours to be both dependable and strong, requiring no or little maintenance. For added safety, the Operator Pre-Shift Checklist requires the operator to answer certain questions to ensure that the unit has been inspected prior to using it. This is an optional feature which means the lift could be programmed not to start if the checklist is not completed or if there is a problem which needs attention before lift operation.
