Hyster has transitioned to the AC pump and traction motors due to their simplicity when compared to traditional DC motors. Periodic maintenance intervals for AC motors could be as much as 500 hours when utilized in normal working environments. There is no need to service brush rigging, brushes or motor commutators and there is no sparking, maintenance or arching. Furthermore, these motors develop lower temperatures overall when compared to DC motors which give the same output. Hyster AC traction and pump motors offer 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 huge window for greater 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 allow the operator 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 in the industry for hydrostatic steering. This steer axle requires no or little maintenance and has been made to be both reliable and strong. For added safety, the Operator Pre-Shift Checklist requires the driver to answer certain questions to make sure that the model has been inspected prior to use. This is an optional feature 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 done.
