Hyster Container Forklift Arizona

Hyster Container Forklift Arizona

Amongst Hysters main safety concerns is safety. It is why they offer many pieces of optional safety devices which can be included to either the work site or the machinery itself. Following OSHA standards, Hyster manufactures head and work lamps along with both visible and audible warning devices.

The only warning device needed on the lift truck according to OSHA and ASME B56.1 regulations is the horn on the steering wheel. The horn is basic on all types of lift trucks. Although audible or visible warning devices are not required on all types of forklifts, there are some situations where optional warning devices might be appropriate. These factors are unique to each work site or work place and each and every condition should be considered individually.

For audible safety devices, which are most frequently motion alarms or back-up alarms, the main point to consider is the level of noise produced by the alarm. First of all, the audible device has to be distinguished from other sounds within the work place and the sound must be loud enough to be heard in the work location, even when other machines could be working. The ability for employees to hear alarms and determine 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 companies, or nearby residents, alarms may need to be disabled. If noise must be disabled, this must be able to take place readily. Regulations also have to be followed to make sure that the levels of noise do not go beyond OSHA noise limitations.

For visible safety devices, most frequently strobe, rotating, or flashing lights, many points should be considered and thought must be put into whether visible safety devices might be more suitable than audible devices. Presence of reflective surfaces, operator distraction and workplace lighting are main priorities to consider to ensure that safety devices are effective and do not pose a danger to operators or other employees. Safety light colours must be different from other lights and background surfaces that are within the work site. Position of safety devices are very important. Lights must be able to clear any overhead obstacles. Light placement should not cause the lights to reflect or shine into the eyes of the driver, but shielding of the lights should not excessively obstruct the light's visibility to pedestrians.

To meet numerous application requirements, Hyster has a range of optional lights which comprise weather-resistant LED and halogen lights. These lights could hold up through vibration and shock as well. As for head lamps and work lamps, OSHA has set standards to make working in dark work spaces or at night safer. Directional lighting is required if the lighting on the lift truck produces less than 2 lumens per square foot. Hyster has numerous options that would truly help increase visibility in low-light situations.
