Because of their simplicity compared to a conventional DC motor, Hyster has transitioned to the AC traction and pump motors. When utilized in a regular working environment, the AC motor's periodic maintenance intervals can be up to 500 hours. There is no sparking, maintenance or arching, and no need to service brushes, motor commutators or brush rigging. Moreover, when compared to DC motors which give the same output, these motors develop lower temperatures overall. 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 big window for better visibility. They feature the nested channel design and have full-face straight load rollers that are canted at three degrees. Additionally, 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 accurate specs.
Hyster forklifts feature the industry's most dependable steer axle in the business for hydrostatic steering. This steer axle requires no or little maintenance and has been built to be reliable and strong. For more safety, the Operator Pre-Shift Checklist requires the driver to answer some questions to ensure that the model has been inspected prior to utilizing it. This feature is optional which means the lift could be programmed not to start if the checklist is not completed or if there is an issue that requires attention before lift operation.
