Hyster lift trucks have many optional and standard feature to make each machine safer for the driver and other personnel in the work site area. A few of the available features are safety lights, audible devices, ergonomic operator compartments and operator restraint systems.
To be able 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 avoid the light shining into the operator's eyes.
Audible warning devices such as reverse operation alarms, that automatically sound if the truck is in reverse, warn others of the presence of a forklift within the area. A rear drive handle with horn allows the driver's hand to be secure when reversing. This inboard handle protects the operator's hand in the event of impact and the handle includes a horn that enables the operator 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 works by keeping the driver's head and torso inside the cab of the forklift that would help them to prevent serious injury. Hip Restraints and Anti-Cinch Seat Belt are standard features on all kinds of Hyster/Yale forklifts. For older Yale/Hyster lift trucks, safety restraint systems could be installed on nearly all units.
