In order to make every Hyster machine safer for the driver and the other work site employees, all Hyster lift trucks could be outfitted with lots of the optional and standard features. These features include: audible devices, safety lights, ergonomic operator compartments and operator restraint systems.
To help alert others of an approaching or nearby lift truck, visual safety devices such as strobe lights could help. There is a low-mounted strobe light which has a shield to help avoid the light shining into the driver's eyes.
Audible warning devices like reverse operation alarms, which sound automatically when the truck is in reverse, warn 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 the event of impact and the handle has a horn which allows the operator to sound the horn without having to move their hand to the main steering wheel.
In the event of a truck flip over, operator restraint systems help to keep the lift truck driver's torso and head inside the cab of the forklift to help avoid serious injury. Hip Restraints and Anti-Cinch Seat Belt are standard features on all types of Hyster/Yale forklifts. For older Yale/Hyster lift trucks, safety restraint systems can be installed on nearly all units.
