Due to their simplicity compared to a traditional DC motor, Hyster has transitioned to the AC pump motors and traction. When used in a typical working environment, the AC motor's periodic maintenance intervals can be up to 500 hours. There is no need to service brush rigging, brushes or motor commutators and there is no arching, sparking, or maintenance. Moreover, these motors develop lower temperatures overall when compared to DC motors that give equal output. Hyster AC traction and pump 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. Additionally, they are designed with a big window for better visibility. They feature the nested channel design and have full-face straight load rollers which are canted at three degrees. Additionally, brass side thrust plugs enable the operator to make adjustments to the mast easily during maintenance without removing or disassembling the mast. The Vista mast is built and designed by Hyster to precise specs.
Hyster forklifts feature the industry's most reliable steer axle within the industry for hydrostatic steering. This steer axle needs no or little maintenance and has been built to be dependable and durable. For added safety, the Operator Pre-Shift Checklist requires the driver to answer some questions to make certain that the unit has been checked prior to using it. This is an optional feature that 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.
