Hyster prides itselves on providing excellent material handling machinery which are reliable and dependable machinery which have low long term ownership costs. We also provide ongoing service for your machines to keep them operating 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 need to service motor commutators, brush rigging, or brushes and there is no sparking, maintenance or arching. In addition, when compared to DC motors which give equal output, these motors develop lower temperatures overall. Hyster AC pump and traction motors provide greater thermal performance, speed capabilities, more torque, and continued reliability.
The top of the industry masts, Hyster's vista masts are made of solid steel cast cross members. Also, 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. Furthermore, brass side thrust plugs enable the operator 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 precise specs.
Hyster forklifts feature the industry's most dependable steer axle within the industry for hydrostatic steering. This steer axle requires no or little maintenance and has been built to be both dependable and durable. For more safety, the Operator Pre-Shift Checklist requires the driver to answer some questions to ensure that the unit has been checked prior to use. This feature is optional which means the lift can be programmed not to start if the checklist is not done or if there is an issue that needs attention before lift operation.
