In order to make each and every Hyster machine safer for the operator and the other work place personnel, all Hyster lift trucks can be equipped with many of the standard and optional features. These features consist of: audible devices, safety lights, ergonomic operator compartments and operator restraint systems.
To help alert other individuals of an approaching or nearby forklift, visual safety devices such as strobe lights could help. There is a low-mounted strobe light which includes a shield to help prevent the light shining into the driver's eyes.
Audible warning devices such as reverse operation alarms, that sound automatically if the lift truck is backing-up, alert other individuals of the presence of a forklift in the area. A rear drive handle with horn enables the operator's hand to be secure when backing-up. This inboard handle protects the driver's hand in the event of impact and the handle includes a horn which enables the operator to sound the horn without having to move their hand to the main steering wheel.
The operator restraint systems help to keep the operator safe in the event of a forklift flip over. The restraint system functions by keeping the operator's head and torso in the cab of the lift truck that will help them to prevent serious injury. Anti-Cinch Seat Belt and Hip Restraints are basic features on all kinds of Hyster/Yale lift trucks. For older Hyster/Yale forklifts, safety restraint systems are available for installation on nearly all models.
