Safety & Awareness

Accidents, safety violations and downtime can be serious concerns for materials handling operations. With the right training and advanced lift truck safety and awareness technologies, customers can proactively identify risks and boost productivity.

Dedicated to Mitigating Incidents & Injuries

Intensive demands, dynamic environments, inexperienced operators and complex loads – can all contribute to safety incidents. To help customers overcome these issues, our businesses are constantly looking for new ways to drive greater awareness and reduce risks.

Smart Safety in Motion

Through the Hyster® and Yale® brands, Hyster-Yale Materials Handling (HYMH) offers award-winning operator assist technology suite that reinforces lift truck operating best practices and supports operator awareness. By intervening as needed and proactively adjusting forklift performance based on real-time conditions, customers can achieve a new level of operational safety.

Insights that Power Progress

To help improve operator behavior, limit truck access and reduce potential incidents, our proven forklift telemetry solutions afford customers the real-time data and insights needed to make critical operational decisions. From aiding in the reduction of avoidable damages to helping operators complete OSHA pre-shift checklist – telematics is a smart choice.

Visibility that Drives Awareness

In fast-paced materials handling environments, numerous variables can contribute to unsafe situations. From navigating dimly lit facilities to busy intersections or travel paths, through its Hyster and Yale brands, HYMH offers a powerful lineup of visual and audible alerts designed specifically to boost awareness and reduce risk when needed.


Precise Clamping Protection

To help lift truck drivers reduce the chance of over clamping delicate loads, Bolzoni offers Easy-Force-C System, which allows operators to select the exact clamping force need per load type. Using a touchscreen drivers select the required parameters, automatically setting the clamp to generate the correct clamping force.

Fully Automatic Load Sensing

When customers need a fully mechanical, automatic pressure control system that takes the operator out of the equation, Force-Matic V4 is the ideal choice. Designed to prevent over clamping during paper roll and home appliance handling, Force-Matic V4 works as a “mechanical calculator” sensing the load weight and continuously adjusting the clamping pressure.

Automation is transforming materials handlings – streamlining workflows, reducing manual touchpoints and boosting productivity. By combining precision automation with intelligent load handling, we’re driving a new era of agility and efficiency.
