Hyster lift trucks have numerous standard and optional feature to make every equipment safer for the driver and other employees in the work place. A few of the features available are safety lights, audible devices, ergonomic operator compartments and operator restraint systems.
To help alert others of a nearby or approaching lift truck, visual safety devices like strobe lights can help. There is a low-mounted strobe light that has a shield to help prevent the light shining into the driver's eyes.
Audible warning devices like reverse operation alarms, which sound automatically when the forklift is backing-up, alert other individuals of the presence of a forklift in the area. A rear drive handle with horn allows the driver's hand to be secure when reversing. This inboard handle protects the driver's hand in the event of impact and the handle includes a horn that allows the operator to sound the horn without moving their hand to the main steering wheel.
In the event of a lift truck flip over, operator restraint systems help to keep the forklift driver's torso and head in the cab of the truck to help prevent serious injury. Anti-Cinch Seat Belt and Hip Restraints are standard features on all kinds of Hyster/Yale forklifts. For older Yale/Hyster lift trucks, safety restraint systems are available for installation on nearly all models.
