Teams of inventive minds at Hyster continuously create unique lift truck features that maximize productivity for customers. The goal of Hyster is to help make every customer operation more productive and profitable through lower cost of operation, dependability, serviceability and better ergonomics. All of the innovative features found on Hyster® forklift trucks are designed to meet these needs.
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.
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 repairs or damaged product due to improper operation of the lift truck.
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 or disassembly of mast. The Vista mast is Hyster-designed and Hyster-built to precise specifications.
The backbone of any lift truck is the steer axel. Because Hyster's steer axle is so durable reliable and virtually maintenance-free, it has been considered the industry standard for many years.
With the Operator Pre-Shift Checklist option, the operator can be required to answer questions to confirm he or she has inspected the unit prior to operation. The vehicle system can be programmed to prevent truck ignition if the check was not completed or if an issue requires attention before the truck can be operated properly.
With the Hyster® MONOTROL® Pedal you have one single foot control for acceleration and changing direction between forward and reverse. This innovative pedal design leaves an operator's hands free for steering and operating hydraulic levers, helping improve productivity.
The Load Weight Display senses hydraulic pressure in the lift circuit to establish the load being lifted. The display provides a simple, easy-to-read indication of the load on the forks, a benefit for arranging loads for shipment or estimating contents of containers (where only approximate accuracy is required).
Precise fingertip control of multiple functions enhances productivity and operator comfort. Three- and four-function valves are available for clamping and non-clamping arrangements. For finite control of attachments, auxiliary function flow can be adjusted down to a preferred level through the dash display.
After turning, this function automatically repositions the wheels to set off again in a forward, straight direction. This feature is a fully electric steering system that significantly improves productivity, particularly on Hyster® order pickers.
