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 as much as 500 hours when utilized in regular working environments. There is no need to service brush rigging, brushes or motor commutators and there is no maintenance, arching or sparking. In addition, these motors develop lower temperatures overall when compared to DC motors which give equal output. Hyster AC traction and pump motors provide greater 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. Also, they are designed with a large window for better 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 make adjustments to the mast easily during maintenance without disassembling or removing the mast. The Vista mast is designed and made by Hyster to precise specs.
Hyster forklifts feature the industry's most dependable steer axle within the business for hydrostatic steering. This steer axle needs no or little maintenance and has been made to be reliable and durable. For more safety, the Operator Pre-Shift Checklist requires the operator to answer some questions to make sure that the model has been checked prior to use. This is an optional feature that means the lift could be programmed not to start if the checklist is not done or if there is an issue which needs attention before lift operation.
