Hyster has transitioned to the AC traction and pump motors because of their simplicity when compared to traditional 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 brushes, motor commutators or brush rigging and there is no arching, sparking, or maintenance. Also, when compared to DC motors that give the same output, these motors develop lower temperatures overall. Hyster AC pump and traction motors provide better 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 feature the nested channel design and have full-face straight load rollers which are canted at three degrees. Moreover, brass side thrust plugs allow the operator to easily make adjustments to the mast during maintenance without disassembling or removing the mast. The Vista mast is designed and built by Hyster to exact specs.
Featured on our lift trucks is the most dependable steer axle in the industry for hydrostatic steering. We have made ours to be dependable and strong, requiring little to no maintenance. For more safety, the Operator Pre-Shift Checklist requires the operator to answer certain questions to make certain that the unit has been checked prior to utilizing it. This is an optional feature that means the lift can be programmed not to start if there is a problem which requires attention before lift operation or if the checklist is not done.
