There are numerous optional features and lots of standard features offered on all Hyster lift trucks. The optional operator selectable performance mode will enable the operator to set up performance levels from job to job. Further, it can allow a manager or supervisor to set the maximum performance level when safety could be a concern, like helping the operator to learn in a more controlled way when a new driver is learning how to utilize the truck.
In some environments, enclosed operator cabs might be a good option for protecting employees from harsh conditions. An emergency exit, tempered glass and sound proofing help to keep the employee safe. Dual and panoramic rear view mirrors are available to enhance driver visibility, particularly of the tail swing area and the part behind the truck. Impact monitors could be installed that disable the unit and require a supervisor or manager to re-enable the forklift. This can help to ensure that workers are safely operating machines. To prevent units from rolling when the operator intends to stop, an auto park brake is an optional feature which can be included. The park brake automatically applies itself when the lift truck comes to a full stop.
Some ratings may be required for various applications. The approved construction standards and in particular the UL GS, LPS, DS underwriter laboratory rating labels would tell the operator whether the lift truck is equipped 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 lift truck could be utilized in work sites where arcs or sparks from electrical equipment can ignite airborne deposits.
