Safety & Awareness

Injuries, safety incidents and equipment and product damage pose major challenges for materials handling operations. By combining proper training with advanced lift truck safety and awareness technologies, you can proactively reduce risks and enhance overall productivity.

Safety is built into everything we do – but we can’t control external challenges like inexperienced operators, heavy traffic and low-light areas. That’s why we offer advanced technologies to help reduce risk and foster productivity.

Smart Safety in Motion

Our award-winning operator assist technology reinforces lift truck operator best practices and supports optimum operator awareness. Based on real-time conditions, the system can either alert the operator or actively intervene by adjusting lift truck performance, helping customers achieve a new level of operational safety.

Insights that Power Progress

To help improve operator behavior, control truck access and reduce potential incidents, our proven forklift telemetry solutions provide real-time data and insights to support critical operational decisions. From minimizing avoidable damage to helping operators complete OSHA pre-shift checklists, telematics is a smart choice.

Visibility that Drives Awareness

In fast-paced materials handling environments, safety challenges are everywhere – from dimly lit facilities to busy intersections and high-traffic paths. That’s why we offer a powerful lineup of visual and audible alerts designed to boost awareness and reduce risk.

Whether you need strobe lights, spotlights, red zone lighting, or motion and backup alarms, we’ve got the solutions to keep your operation moving safely and efficiently.

Reduce Chance of Tip Overs

Standard on all Hyster® A Series and Yale® Series N models, our Dynamic Stability System (DSS) is a game changer for supporting operator confidence and safe operating practices.

  • Lateral Stability System– Reduces truck leans in turns, improving lateral stability 
  • High-Lift Traction Control – Limits truck speed when the carriage is raised above the threshold
  • High-Lift Tilt Controls – Restricts tilt speed and forward tilt range when the carriage is raised above the height threshold carrying a load
  • Corner Control – Limits speed based on how tight the truck is turning

Operator Comfort that Matters

Our lift trucks put operators first, with features and options engineered to maximize comfort, visibility, and productivity—shift after shift. Backed by our team of ergonomic specialists, every detail is crafted for optimal forklift ergonomics, including:

  • Easy operator entry and exit
  • Intuitive body positioning and improved foot space
  • Adjustable controls, and back and arm rests
  • Shock-absorbing features
  • Enhanced operator visibility

OSHA Compliant Forklift Operator Training

Safe operations start with knowledge. Our Forklift Operator Training Program provides the professional instruction your employees need to operate lift trucks confidently and responsibly – helping reduce risks and improve efficiency.
