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 maintenance, arching or sparking, and no need to service brush rigging, brushes or motor commutators. Furthermore, when compared to DC motors that give equal output, these motors develop lower temperatures overall. Hyster AC traction and pump motors provide better speed capabilities, thermal performance, more torque, and continued dependability.
The top of the industry masts, Hyster's vista masts are made of solid steel cast cross members. Moreover, they are designed with a huge window for better visibility. They have full-face straight load rollers that are canted at three degrees and feature the nested channel design. Additionally, brass side thrust plugs allow the operator to easily make adjustments to the mast during maintenance without having to disassemble or remove the mast. The Vista mast is built and designed by Hyster to exact specs.
Hyster forklifts feature the industry's most reliable steer axle in the industry for hydrostatic steering. This steer axle requires little to no 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 ensure 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 completed or if there is an issue that needs attention before lift operation.
