To find out more, use the Dealer Locator to contact the local Hyster® dealer. Tilt Cylinders – Mounted under the floorboard to avoid an operator trip hazard and to prevent oil from contacting the operator in the event of a hose rupture.Inboard-Mounted LPG Tank – Helps protect the tank from being knocked off or damaged due to impacts.Catalytic Converter – Prevents engine exhaust sparks from exiting the truck on LPG- and petrol-equipped units.Freelift and Main Hoist Chains – The “ratings” of chain, or combinations of chain, far exceeds requirements for working loads at rated capacity.LPG Lock-off Valve – Prevents flow of LPG (Liquid Propane Gas) into the truck when the truck is turned off.Hydrostatic Power Steering – Prevents steering wheel ‘kick back’ when the steer wheels come up against an immovable object.Mast Cylinder Velocity Fuses – Prevents raised masts from freefalling down in the event of a hoist hose rupture.Overhead Guard – The design of the overhead guard on Hyster lift trucks exceeds the requirements set forth by required standards (ANSI/ITSDF B56.1)Seat Side Power Disconnect – On electric trucks, this allows the operator to disconnect the power to the unit in the event of an emergency situation.Direction Switch Indicator – Visually identifies the truck’s travel direction as determined by the shift lever.Parking Brake Warning – reminds operator to set the parking brake when leaving the operator’s seat.Steps have a high grip surface and are self-cleaning to avoid a foot slip. Operator Steps – Added to reduce the step height when entering the operator compartment.Swing-Out LPG Tank Bracket – Drop-down design brings the LPG tank out from the protected center of the truck and down to the operator’s natural handling position making it easier to change.Also disables directional travel on Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) trucks Operator Presence System – Prevents operation of the hydraulic system if the operator is not in the proper operating position.Adjustable Operator Compartment and Controls – Puts the necessary controls in close proximity to a wide range of operators.Operator Compartment Ergonomics and Controls New technologies are incorporated – primarily as standard features - into Hyster forklift trucks and then proven through functional and durability testing, reliability development, and controlled field tests.īoth productivity and safety are enhanced when improved ergonomic designs help the operator avoid fatigue as well as heavy repetitive motions. The ability to design for improved safety comes from Hyster’s experience in the material handling industry and from available technology. Hyster not only promotes safety through training, but its engineers consider safety in every aspect of the forklift design. Other features include – Front and top roller blinds, WuBump Bumpers, Air Suspension Seat and batter disconnect switch and more.įeatures for driver and performance contribute to lift truck safety.Hyster Tracker – Wireless monitoring records hour meter utilisation, impact events, periodic maintenance tracking, and diagnostic trouble shooting code events.Seatbelt and Doors Interlock – The engine will not start unless the operator is on the seat and closes the seat belt or without the cab doors being closed.Pedestrian Awareness Lights – Front and rear LED direction-activated spotlights may help alert pedestrians that the truck is travelling in a specific direction whilst LED zoning lights indicate to pedestrians the required distance that should be kept from the truck when in motion.Load Overload System – Uses an array of sensors to measure both the mass and centre of a load and display the truck stability.Roof Detection System – Allows the speed of the truck to be limited when entering a building.Object Detection System – An aid to the operator to alert them of potential hazards located in sensing zone, whether an object or a person.Solutions from Hyster Europe can help tough applications overcome these challenges and by providing assistance to drivers and pedestrians: As demand grows in a materials handling operation and loads become more varied, the risk of damage to trucks, loads and infrastructure can increase, resulting in extra costs, additional maintenance and more downtime.
