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 could be as much as 500 hours when used in typical working environments. There is no need to service brushes, motor commutators or brush rigging and there is no maintenance, arching or sparking. Also, when compared to DC motors which give equal output, these motors develop lower temperatures overall. Hyster AC pump and traction motors offer better speed capabilities, thermal performance, continued reliability and more torque.
The top of the industry masts, Hyster's vista masts are made of solid steel cast cross members. Additionally, they are designed with a large window for greater 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 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 accurate specs.
Hyster lift trucks feature the industry's most reliable steer axle within the business for hydrostatic steering. This steer axle needs no or little maintenance and has been made to be both reliable and strong. For more safety, the Operator Pre-Shift Checklist requires the driver to answer certain questions to make sure that the model has been inspected prior to utilizing it. This feature is optional that means the lift can be programmed not to start if there is an issue which needs attention before lift operation or if the checklist is not completed.
