Hyster Container Forklift Mesa

At Hyster, your safety is amongst our top concerns. This is why we offer a range of optional safety equipment that could be added to your machine or work site. Following the standards of OSHA, Hyster makes both audible and visible warning devices along with head and work lamps.



The only warning device needed on the lift truck according to OSHA and ASME B56.1 regulations is the horn on the steering wheel. The horn is standard on all kinds of forklifts. Though forklifts are not required to have both audible or visible warning devices, there are several conditions where optional warning devices could be suitable. These factors are unique to each work place or work site and every case must be considered individually.



Back-up alarms or motion alarms are the most common safety devices. The noise made by these alarms are the main thing to take into account. First of all, the audible device must be able to be distinguished from other kinds of noises in the work place and the noise has to be very loud to be heard in the work location, even when other machines may be working. The ability for employees to hear alarms and know where the noise is originating from can be compromised if employees are wearing hearing protection devices. If the alarms are too offensive or disruptive to workers, nearby houses, or nearby companies, alarms might have to be disabled. If sound should be disabled, this should be able to take place readily. Rules should also be followed in order to ensure that the levels of noise do not go beyond OSHA noise limits.



Visible safety devices may comprise the common flashing, strobe or rotating lights. Factors to think about with visible safety devices include whether or not these devices might be more appropriate compared to audible devices. Workplace lighting, presence of reflective surfaces, and driver distraction are all top priorities to take into account to make sure that safety devices do not pose a danger to operators or other workers and are effective. Safety light colours must be different from other lights and background surfaces that are within the work place. Position of safety devices are of utmost importance. Lights must be able to clear any overhead obstacles. Light placement must not cause the lights to shine or reflect into the operator's eyes, but shielding of the lights should not excessively block the light's visibility to pedestrians.



To meet numerous application requirements, Hyster has a variety of optional lights which comprise weather-resistant LED and halogen lights. These lights could hold up through shock and vibration as well. When it comes to work lamps and head lamps, OSHA has set standards to make working at night or in dark work spaces much safer. Directional lighting is needed if the lighting on the forklift produces less than 2 lumens per square foot. Hyster has numerous alternatives that will truly help increase visibility in low-light situations.
