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 normal working environments. There is no need to service brush rigging, brushes or motor commutators and there is no maintenance, arching or sparking. Furthermore, when compared to DC motors which give equal output, these motors develop lower temperatures overall. Hyster AC pump and traction motors provide better speed capabilities, thermal performance, more torque, and continued reliability.
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 big window for better visibility. They feature the nested channel design and have full-face straight load rollers that 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 reliable steer axle within the industry for hydrostatic steering. We have built ours to be both dependable and strong, requiring little to no maintenance. For added safety, the Operator Pre-Shift Checklist requires the driver to answer some questions to ensure that the unit has been inspected prior to use. This is an optional feature which means the lift can be programmed not to start if there is a problem that needs attention before lift operation or if the checklist is not completed.
