Hyster has transitioned to the AC traction and pump motors due to their simplicity when compared to conventional DC motors. Periodic maintenance intervals for AC motors can be up to 500 hours when utilized in typical working environments. There is no sparking, maintenance or arching, and no need to service brush rigging, brushes or motor commutators. Furthermore, when compared to DC motors that give the same output, these motors develop lower temperatures overall. Hyster AC traction and pump motors offer greater 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. Furthermore, they are designed with a large window for greater 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 allow the operator to make adjustments to the mast easily during maintenance without removing or disassembling the mast. The Vista mast is made and designed by Hyster to precise specs.
Hyster lift trucks feature the industry's most dependable 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 more safety, the Operator Pre-Shift Checklist requires the operator to answer some questions to ensure that the model has been inspected before using it. This is an optional feature that means the lift can be programmed not to start if there is a problem which needs attention before lift operation or if the checklist is not completed.
