Hyster has transitioned to the AC traction and pump motors because of their simplicity when compared to traditional DC motors. Periodic maintenance intervals for AC motors can be up to 500 hours when used in regular working environments. There is no maintenance, arching or sparking, and no need to service motor commutators, brush rigging, or brushes. In addition, when compared to DC motors that give the same output, these motors develop lower temperatures overall. Hyster AC pump and traction motors offer 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. Also, they are designed with a huge window for better visibility. They have full-face straight load rollers which are canted at three degrees and feature the nested channel design. In addition, brass side thrust plugs enable the operator to make adjustments to the mast easily during maintenance without disassembling or removing the mast. The Vista mast is designed and built by Hyster to precise specs.
Hyster lift trucks feature the industry's most reliable steer axle in the business for hydrostatic steering. This steer axle needs little to no maintenance and has been made to be dependable and strong. For more safety, the Operator Pre-Shift Checklist requires the driver to answer some questions to make sure that the model has been inspected before use. This is an optional feature that means the lift can be programmed not to start if there is a problem that requires attention before lift operation or if the checklist is not completed.
