Hyster lift trucks have many standard and optional feature in order to make every machinery safer for the operator as well as other workers in the work site area. A few of the features available are safety lights, audible devices, operator restraint systems, and ergonomic operator compartments.
To help alert others of a nearby or approaching forklift, visual safety devices such as strobe lights may help. There is a low-mounted strobe light which includes a shield to help avoid the light shining into the operator's eyes.
Audible warning devices such as reverse operation alarms, that sound automatically when the lift truck is backing-up, warn other people of the presence of a forklift within 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 case of impact and the handle includes a horn that 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 the event of a forklift flip over. The restraint system functions by keeping the driver's head and torso in the cab of the forklift which will help them to avoid serious injury. Hip Restraints and Anti-Cinch Seat Belt are basic features on all kinds of Hyster/Yale forklifts. For older Hyster/Yale lift trucks, safety restraint systems are available for installation on most units.
