Hyster lift trucks have many standard and optional feature in order to make each and every equipment safer for the operator and other personnel within the work place. Some of the available features are audible devices, safety lights, operator restraint systems, and ergonomic operator compartments.
Visual safety devices such as LED strobe lights can help to warn others that there is a forklift nearby. There is a low-mounted strobe light that includes a shield to help prevent the light shining into the driver's eyes.
Audible warning devices like reverse operation alarms, which sound automatically when the lift truck is in reverse, warn other individuals of the presence of a lift truck in the area. A rear drive handle with horn allows the operator's hand to be secure when backing-up. This inboard handle protects the driver's hand in the event of impact and the handle includes a horn that allows 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 functions by keeping the driver's head and torso in the cab of the truck which would help them to avoid serious injury. Hip Restraints and Anti-Cinch Seat Belt are standard features on all types of Hyster/Yale lift trucks. For older Yale/Hyster lift trucks, safety restraint systems can be installed on nearly all models.

Available in 3,000 or 4,000 pound capacities, these trucks are very versatile and durable, as well as ergonomically designed to enhance productivity and improve driver comfort.
