Hyster forklifts have many standard and optional feature to make each equipment safer for the driver and other employees within the work site area. A few of the features available are audible devices, safety lights, ergonomic operator compartments and operator restraint systems.
To help alert other people of an approaching or nearby lift truck, visual safety devices such as strobe lights could 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, that automatically sound if the lift truck is in reverse, alert other individuals of the presence of a forklift within the area. A rear drive handle with horn allows the operator's hand to be secure when reversing. This inboard handle protects the operator's hand in case of impact and the handle has a horn which enables the driver 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 torso and head inside the cab of the truck that would help them to avoid serious injury. Anti-Cinch Seat Belt and Hip Restraints are basic features on all kinds of Hyster/Yale lift trucks. For older Yale/Hyster lift trucks, safety restraint systems are available for installation on nearly all units.
