Dependability & Serviceability

Vista Masts

The Hyster Vista Masts feature a nested channel design, full-face straight load rollers canted at 3 degrees, solid steel cast cross members and a large visibility window. Brass side thrust plugs allow easy mast adjustment during periodic maintenance without removal of disassembly of mast. The Vista mast is Hyster designed and Hyster built to precise specifications.

Operator Pre-Shift Checklist

With the Operator Pre-Shift Checklist option, the operator can be required to answer the questions to confirm that he has inspected the unit prior to operation. The option can be programmed to prevent starting of the truck if the check was not completed or if there was an issue that required attention before the truck could be operated properly.

Hydro Static SteeringHydrostatic Steering

The backbone of any lift truck is the steer axle. Having one that is durable, reliable and virtually maintenance-free, that's hard to build. Hyster Company has been building ours for years, that's why it's the industry standard.

Cost of Operation

AC Motor Technology The Hyster AC traction and pump motors are less complex than conventional DC motors, providing superior torque, speed capabilities, reliability, and thermal performance.

  • The simplicity of the new Hyster AC motor allows the truck to operate at lower overall temperatures than equivalent DC motors of equal output. The simplicity in design eliminates the need to service brushes, brush rigging, and motor commutators. The result is No arcing - No sparking - No maintenance -- which directly translates to lower cost, higher reliability, and longer product life.
  • As a result, overall periodic maintenance intervals can be extended to 500 hours in normal operating environments, reducing downtime and increasing productivity.

Impact Monitor

The Impact Monitor is an effective method for reducing damage to the truck, the facility and the product being moved, based on improved driver accountability. The Impact Monitor constantly senses the truck's movement and looks for acute variations in movement that may resemble the forces of an impact. The customer can save thousands of dollars that would have been spent on truck/facility damage repairs or spoiled product due to improper operation of the lift truck.

LED Advantage

LED lamps are extremely tough. There is no glass to shatter and no filament to break so these lamps can take abuse far beyond that of an incandescent bulb. They are extremely efficient and can emit light equal to an incandescent bulb while consuming as much as four to five times less amperage.

LED lamps enhance our light packages and offer the following benefits to our customers:

  • LED life expectancy is in the 10,000-hour range, which is many times longer than incandescent light bulbs.
  • LEDs draw less amps than incandescent light bulbs, as much as four to five times less.
  • LEDs are low profile and therefore provide less visual obstruction and are positioned closer to the truck overhead guard.lessening the chance of inadvertent damage.
