Many features come standard on all Hyster lift trucks, but there are many optional features available too. The operator selectable performance mode option enables the driver set the performance level needed on a job to job basis. Further, it could enable a supervisor or manager to set the maximum level of performance when safety could be an issue, like if a new driver is learning how to utilize the forklift, helping the operator to learn in a more controlled way.
Enclosed operator cabs might be a good option 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 improve driver visibility, particularly of the area behind the lift truck and the tail swing area. Impact monitors could be installed that disable the model and need a supervisor or manager to re-enable the forklift. This could help to ensure that workers are safely operating machines.

If there is a concern, there is a mechanical main battery disconnect. An EE UL rating means that the forklift can be utilized in work areas where arcs or sparks from electrical machines could ignite airborne deposits.
