Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the HY SG1 String Guard designed to protect?
A: The HY SG1 String Guard is a protective plate that prevents rope, cable, and debris from infiltrating the overhead mast guard and associated assemblies on Hyster electric lift trucks. It mounts directly to the factory mast mounting pattern.
Q: What material is the HY SG1 made from and will it corrode?
A: The HY SG1 is molded from high-impact thermoplastic polymer with a non-coated, raw finish. It does not rust or corrode. The thermoplastic material is impact-resistant and designed for continuous industrial use.
Q: How do I know if the HY SG1 will fit my Hyster truck?
A: The HY SG1 is engineered for Hyster electric lift trucks and uses factory metric fastener mounting patterns. Verify your truck model against Hyster documentation. No cross-reference part numbers are available; the HY SG1 is Hyster-specific.
Q: What fasteners are needed to install the HY SG1?
A: The HY SG1 mounting pattern uses metric fasteners compatible with Hyster factory mast guard assemblies. Verify fastener size and thread pitch in your trucks specification document to ensure correct hardware is used.
Q: Can the HY SG1 be used on other lift truck brands?
A: The HY SG1 is designed specifically for Hyster electric lift trucks and uses Hyster-pattern metric fasteners. It is not compatible with other brands such as Toyota, Crown, or Raymond without custom modification to mounting holes.
Q: How long does the HY SG1 last in service?
A: The HY SG1 is rated for continuous industrial use and has no specified service life limit. Thermoplastic remains impact-resistant across normal operating temperature ranges. Replace only if impact damage cracks the guard or fastener holes become stripped.
