Hyster Container Forklift Sacramento

At Hyster, your safety is one of our top concerns. This is why we provide a variety of optional safety equipment that could be included to your machinery or work place. Following OSHA standards, Hyster manufactures head and work lamps as well as both visible and audible warning devices.



According to ASME B56.1 and OSHA regulations, the only warning device required on a forklift is the horn on the steering wheel, which is a basic feature on all lift trucks. Even though forklifts are not required to have both visible or audible warning devices, there are some situations where optional warning devices might be appropriate. These factors are unique to every work site or work place and every situation should be considered individually.



For audible safety devices, which are most commonly motion alarms or back-up alarms, the main point to take into account is the noise level produced by the alarm. To begin with, the audible device needs to be distinguished from other types of noises in the work site and the noise needs to be loud enough to be heard in the work site, even if other types of machinery could be functioning. The ability for workers to hear alarms and know where the noise is originating from can be compromised if workers are wearing hearing protection devices. If the alarms are very disruptive or offensive to employees, nearby houses, or nearby companies, alarms may need to be disabled. If sound must be disabled, this must be able to take place readily. Regulations should also be followed in order to make certain that the levels of noise do not go beyond OSHA noise limitations.



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



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