Hyster Container Forklift El Paso

At Hyster, your safety is amongst our top concerns. This is why we provide a variety of optional safety equipment which can be included to your machinery or work place. Following the standards of OSHA, Hyster makes work and head lamps along with both visible and audible warning devices.



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



Back-up alarms or motion alarms are the most common safety devices. The noise produced by these alarms are the main factor to take into consideration. First of all, the audible device must be able to be distinguished from other kinds of noises within the work place and the sound needs to be extremely loud to be heard in the work site, even when other machines may be working. The ability for workers to hear alarms and determine where the noise is originating from could be compromised if workers are wearing hearing protection devices. If the alarms are too offensive or disruptive to workers, nearby companies, or nearby homes, alarms may have to be disabled. If sound must be disabled, this should be able to happen readily. Rules must also be followed in order to ensure that the levels of noise do not go beyond OSHA noise limitations.



Visible safety devices may consist of the common flashing, strobe or rotating lights. Things to consider with visible safety devices comprise 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 make certain 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 in the work place. Safety device placement are very important. Lights must be able to clear any overhead obstacles. Light positioning must not cause the lights to shine or reflect into the driver's eyes, but shielding of the lights should not overly block the light's visibility to pedestrians.



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