There are many optional features and numerous standard features offered on all Hyster forklifts. The optional operator selectable performance mode will allow the operator to set up levels of performance from job to job. Further, it can allow a manager or supervisor to set the maximum performance level when safety might be a concern, like helping the driver to learn in a more controlled way if a new driver is learning how to utilize the lift truck.
Enclosed operator cabs could be a great alternative in certain environments to help protect workers from harsh conditions. To keep the workers safe, the enclosed operator cabs provide sound proofing, an emergency exit and tempered glass. Panoramic and dual rear view mirrors are available to increase driver visibility, particularly of the part behind the lift truck and the tail swing area. Impact monitors could be installed that disable the unit and require a supervisor or manager to re-enable the lift truck. This could help to ensure that employees are safely operating machines. To prevent units from rolling when the operator intends to stop, an auto park brake is an optional feature that could be included. The park brake automatically applies itself when the forklift comes to a complete stop.
For different applications, certain ratings might be needed. UL GS, LPS, DS underwriter laboratory rating label with approved construction standard tells the user that the lift truck has been outfitted with added resistance to spark creation. If there is an issue, there is a mechanical main battery disconnect. An EE UL rating means that the forklift could be utilized in work areas where arcs or sparks from electrical equipment might ignite airborne deposits.
