ULTIMA II Multi-function control handle The Ultima II multi-function control handle with integral palm rest affords simultaneous control of lift/lowering functions and 1 auxiliary function. In addition, infinitely variable hydraulic functions provide precise and smooth control.
MONOTROL Pedal
With the Hyster MONOTROL® Pedal you have one foot control for acceleration and direction, leaving your hands free for steering and operating hydraulic levers. This helps keep your operators more productive.
Load Weight Display
The Load Weight Display provides a simple, easy-to-read indication of the load on the forks that is beneficial for arranging loads for shipment or estimating contents of containers where absolute accuracy is not required. The Load Weight Display senses hydraulic pressure in the lift circuit to establish the load being lifted and has a tolerance of ? 100 lbs. when properly calibrated.
TouchPoint Mini-Levers
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, Aux function flow can be adjusted down to a preferred level through the dash display.
Return to Center Steering
A fully electric steering system that turns Hyster Order Pickers into productivity MVPs. You'll always be headed in the right direction with RTC steering.
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.
Hydrostatic 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.
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.
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 which all equals:
- Lower overall temperatures compared to the equivalent DC motors of equal output
- No need to service brushes, brush rigging and motor commutators
- No arching, no sparking, no maintenance
- Overall periodic maintenance intervals can be extended 500 hours in normal operating environments
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.
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.
