Hyster forklifts have many standard and optional feature to make each equipment safer for the operator and other employees within the work place. A few of the features available are safety lights, audible devices, operator restraint systems, and ergonomic operator compartments.
To be able to help warn other people of an approaching or nearby forklift, visual safety devices such as strobe lights can help. There is a low-mounted strobe light that includes a shield to help avoid the light shining into the driver's eyes.
Audible warning devices such as reverse operation alarms, which sound automatically when the forklift is backing-up, warn other people of the presence of a lift truck in the area. A rear drive handle with horn enables the driver'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 moving their hand to the main steering wheel.
The operator restraint systems help to keep the driver safe in case of a truck flip over. The restraint system functions by keeping the operator's head and torso in the cab of the forklift which would help them to prevent serious injury. Anti-Cinch Seat Belt and Hip Restraints are basic features on all kinds of Yale/Hyster forklifts. For older Hyster/Yale lift trucks, safety restraint systems could be installed on nearly all models.
