In order to make each and every Hyster equipment safer for the operator as well as the other work place personnel, all Hyster lift trucks can be equipped with many of the standard and optional features. These features include: safety lights, audible devices, operator restraint systems, and ergonomic operator compartments.
To help alert others of an approaching or nearby forklift, visual safety devices such as strobe lights could 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 such as reverse operation alarms, that 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 operator's hand to be secure when backing-up. This inboard handle protects the operator's hand in case of impact and the handle has a horn that allows 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 driver safe in case of a forklift flip over. The restraint system works by keeping the operator's torso and head in the cab of the truck which would help them to avoid serious injury. Hip Restraints and Anti-Cinch Seat Belt are basic features on all existing units of Hyster/Yale lift trucks. For older Yale/Hyster lift trucks, safety restraint systems can be installed on nearly all units.
Excellent ergonomics are available in the Hyster StanDrive E30-40HSD2 series lift trucks. Available in 4,000 or 3,000 pound capacities, these types of forklifts are really strong and versatile, as well as ergonomically designed to enhance productivity and improve operator comfort. To increase operator comfort and visibility, the controls allow the operator to stand at 45 degrees or in side-stance.
Hyster's E45-70XN, E70-120Z and the E30-40XN AC Power series lift trucks all use AC technology. They could get almost any job done. Hyster makes forklifts which provide remarkable speed, essential safety features, unsurpassed strength and long battery life. Lift trucks made by the Hyster Company are adaptable to practically any application need that you or your company might have.
