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 used in normal working environments. There is no need to service brush rigging, brushes or motor commutators and there is no maintenance, arching or sparking. In addition, when compared to DC motors which give the same output, these motors develop lower temperatures overall. Hyster AC pump and traction motors provide greater thermal performance, speed capabilities, more torque, and continued reliability.
Hyster Vista masts are top of the industry masts that are made of solid steel cast cross members and have a huge window for greater visibility. They have full-face straight load rollers which are canted at three degrees and feature the nested channel design. Furthermore, brass side thrust plugs enable the driver 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 lift trucks is the most dependable steer axle in the industry for hydrostatic steering. We have built ours to be both reliable and strong, requiring no or little maintenance. For added safety, the Operator Pre-Shift Checklist requires the driver to answer certain questions to make certain that the unit has been inspected prior to utilizing it. This is an optional feature that means the lift could be programmed not to start if there is an issue that requires attention before lift operation or if the checklist is not completed.
