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 up to 500 hours when used in normal working environments. There is no arching, sparking, or maintenance, and no need to service brushes, motor commutators or brush rigging. What's more, when compared to DC motors that give the same output, these motors develop lower temperatures overall. Hyster AC traction and pump motors provide better thermal performance, speed capabilities, 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 greater visibility. They feature the nested channel design and have full-face straight load rollers that are canted at three degrees. In addition, brass side thrust plugs enable the driver 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.
Hyster forklifts feature the industry's most reliable steer axle within the industry for hydrostatic steering. This steer axle requires no or little maintenance and has been built to be dependable and durable. For more safety, the Operator Pre-Shift Checklist requires the driver to answer some questions to ensure that the unit has been checked prior to use. This is an optional feature that means the lift could be programmed not to start if there is an issue that needs attention before lift operation or if the checklist is not completed.
