Hyster forklifts have many standard and optional feature in order to make each machinery safer for the driver as well as other workers within the work site area. Some of the features available are audible devices, safety lights, ergonomic operator compartments and operator restraint systems.
To help warn others of an approaching or nearby forklift, visual safety devices like strobe lights could help. There is a low-mounted strobe light which includes a shield to help avoid the light shining into the driver's eyes.
Audible warning devices such as reverse operation alarms, which automatically sound if the truck is in reverse, alert others of the presence of a lift truck 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 operator's hand in the event of impact and the handle includes a horn that allows the driver to sound the horn without moving their hand to the main steering wheel.
The operator restraint systems help to keep the driver safe in the event of a truck flip over. The restraint system works by keeping the driver's torso and head inside the cab of the truck which will help them to prevent serious injury. Hip Restraints and Anti-Cinch Seat Belt are basic features on all types of Yale/Hyster forklifts. For older Yale/Hyster lift trucks, safety restraint systems can be installed on most units.
