Hyster Container Forklift Salem

At Hyster, your safety is among our main concerns. This is the reason why we provide a range of optional safety devices which could be added to your machinery or work place. Following the standards of OSHA, Hyster makes work and head lamps as well as both audible and visible warning devices.



The only warning device required on the forklift according to OSHA and ASME B56.1 regulations is the steering wheel horn. The horn is standard on all types of forklifts. Although visible or audible warning devices are not required on all types of forklifts, there are a few cases where optional warning devices might be suitable. These factors are unique to each and every work place or work site and each condition should be considered individually.



For audible safety devices, which are most frequently motion alarms or back-up alarms, the main point to take into consideration is the noise level made by the alarm. First of all, the audible device should be able to be distinguished from other kinds of sounds in the work place and the noise should be loud enough to be heard in the work location, even when other machinery may be running. The ability for workers to hear alarms and know where the sound is coming from can be compromised if workers are wearing hearing protection devices. If the alarms are too disruptive or offensive to employees, nearby companies, or nearby homes, alarms may need to be disabled. If noise should be disabled, this should be able to take place readily. Regulations must also be followed so as to make certain that the levels of noise do not go beyond OSHA noise limitations.



Visible safety devices might consist of the common strobe, rotating, or flashing lights. Factors to think about with visible safety devices comprise whether or not these devices may be more suitable than audible devices. Presence of reflective surfaces, driver distraction and workplace lighting are main concerns to take into consideration to ensure that safety devices do not pose a danger to operators or other employees and are effective. Colour of safety lights must be different from background surfaces and other lights that are within the work site. Placement of safety devices are very important. Lights must be able to clear any overhead obstacles. Light positioning must not cause the lights to reflect or shine into the operator's eyes, but shielding of the lights should not excessively obstruct the light's visibility to pedestrians.



To meet many application needs, Hyster has a variety of optional lights which consist of 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 spaces much safer. Directional lighting is required if the lighting on the lift truck produces less than 2 lumens per square foot. Hyster has a lot of choices which would help increase visibility in low-light conditions.
