Hyster Container Forklift Phoenix

At Hyster, your safety is amongst our main concerns. This is why we provide a range of optional safety devices that could be added to your machine or work site. Following the standards of OSHA, Hyster manufactures head and work lamps as well as both visible and audible warning devices.



According to OSHA and ASME B56.1 regulations, the only warning device required on a lift truck is the steering wheel horn, which is a basic feature on all forklifts. Even if visible or audible warning devices are not required on all types of forklifts, there are some cases where optional warning devices may be appropriate. These factors are unique to every work place or work site and every case should be considered individually.



Motion alarms or back-up 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 has to be distinguished from other types of noises in the work place and the sound needs to be very loud to be heard in the work site, even when other machines may be functioning. The ability for workers to hear alarms and determine where the sound is coming from could be compromised if workers are wearing hearing protection devices. If the alarms are very offensive or disruptive to employees, nearby residents, or nearby businesses, alarms might need to be disabled. If noise must be disabled, this must be able to take place readily. Rules also have to be followed to make certain that noise levels do not go beyond OSHA noise limits.



Visible safety devices might comprise the common rotating, flashing or strobe lights. Factors to consider with visible safety devices include whether or not these devices might be more appropriate than audible devices. Operator distraction, workplace lighting and presence of reflective surfaces are main concerns to take into consideration to ensure that safety devices do not pose a danger to drivers or other workers and are effective. Colour of safety lights should be different from other lights and background surfaces which are within the work site. Safety device positioning are very important. Lights should be able to clear any overhead obstacles. Light positioning must not cause the lights to reflect or shine into the driver's eyes, but shielding of the lights should not overly obstruct the light's visibility to pedestrians.



Hyster has a range of optional lights to meet many application needs such as weather-resistant LED and halogen lights that hold up through shock and vibration as well. As for work lamps and head lamps, OSHA has set standards to make working at night or in dark work spaces safer. Directional lighting is needed if the lift truck lighting makes less than 2 lumens per square foot. Hyster has numerous options which will truly help increase visibility in low-light conditions.
