Hyster Container Forklift San Diego

At Hyster, your safety is amongst our top concerns. This is why we offer a variety of optional safety devices that could be added to your machine or work site. Following OSHA standards, Hyster manufactures both visible and audible warning devices in addition to work and head lamps.



The only warning device needed on the lift truck according to OSHA and ASME B56.1 regulations is the steering wheel horn. The horn is standard on all kinds of lift trucks. Even if lift trucks are not required to have visible or audible warning devices, there are a few cases where optional warning devices may be appropriate. These factors are unique to every work place or work site and each condition needs to be considered individually.



For audible safety devices, which are most commonly motion alarms or back-up alarms, the main factor to take into consideration is the level of noise produced by the alarm. First of all, the audible device needs to be distinguished from other types of noises within the work site and the noise has to be extremely loud to be heard in the work site, even if other types of machinery could be working. The ability for workers to hear alarms and determine where the sound is coming from can be compromised if workers wear hearing protection devices. If the alarms are too disruptive or offensive to workers, nearby homes, or nearby companies, alarms may need to be disabled. If sound has to be disabled, this should be able to happen readily. Rules should also be followed to make certain that noise levels do not exceed OSHA noise limits.



For visible safety devices, most frequently flashing, strobe or rotating lights, numerous factors must be considered and thought must be put into whether visible safety devices might be more appropriate than audible devices. Workplace lighting, presence of reflective surfaces, and operator distraction are all main priorities to consider to make certain that safety devices are effective and do not pose a danger to drivers or other workers. Safety light colours should be different from other lights and background surfaces which are in the work place. Placement of safety devices are extremely important. Lights should be able to clear any overhead obstacles. Placement of lights should not cause the lights to shine or reflect into the operator's eyes, but shielding of the lights should not overly block the light's visibility to pedestrians.



To suit numerous application needs, Hyster has a range of optional lights which include weather-resistant LED and halogen lights. These lights can hold up through vibration and shock as well. When it comes to head lamps and work lamps, OSHA has set standards to make working at night or in dark work areas a lot safer. Directional lighting is needed if the truck lighting makes less than 2 lumens per square foot. Hyster has numerous options that would really help increase visibility in low-light conditions.
