Hyster has transitioned to the AC pump and traction motors due to their simplicity when compared to conventional DC motors. Periodic maintenance intervals for AC motors can be up to 500 hours when used in typical working environments. There is no need to service motor commutators, brush rigging, or brushes and there is no sparking, maintenance or arching. Furthermore, when compared to DC motors which give equal output, these motors develop lower temperatures overall. Hyster AC traction and pump motors provide better speed capabilities, thermal performance, 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 that are canted at three degrees. Moreover, brass side thrust plugs enable the operator to easily make adjustments to the mast during maintenance without having to disassemble or remove 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 within the business for hydrostatic steering. We have built ours to be reliable and strong, requiring no or little 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 the checklist is not done or if there is a problem that requires attention before lift operation.
