Hyster is proud in offering great material handling machines that are both dependable and reliable equipment which have low long term costs of ownership. We also offer ongoing service for your machines to keep them working efficiently.
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 could be as much as 500 hours when utilized in typical working environments. There is no need to service motor commutators, brush rigging, or brushes and there is no maintenance, arching or sparking. In addition, these motors develop lower temperatures overall when compared to DC motors which give the same output. Hyster AC traction and pump motors offer better thermal performance, speed capabilities, continued reliability and more torque.
Hyster Vista masts are top of the industry masts that are made of solid steel cast cross members and have a big window for better visibility. They have full-face straight load rollers which are canted at three degrees and feature the nested channel design. Moreover, 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 exact specs.
Hyster forklifts feature the industry's most reliable steer axle in the industry for hydrostatic steering. This steer axle requires little to no maintenance and has been made to be both dependable and durable. For more safety, the Operator Pre-Shift Checklist requires the operator to answer certain questions to ensure that the unit has been checked before using it. This feature is optional which means the lift could be programmed not to start if there is a problem that needs attention before lift operation or if the checklist is not done.
