Hyster provides you with 3 layers of forklift safety solutions.

TAKE OPERATIONAL SAFETY TO THE NEXT LEVEL

The Hyster Dynamic Stability System (DSS) helps to reduce the chances of tip overs. It also reminds forklift operators of safe operation practices by monitoring operating conditions and automatically limiting truck functionality when potentially unsafe conditions are detected.*

Hyster provides you with three layers of forklift safety solutions: DSS, our forklift training program and optional Hyster Tracker™ telemetry. If your operators complete solid training, plus you put Hyster DSS into effect, and your supervisors use Hyster Tracker to monitor performance in real time, you are well on your way to having the tools to help improve safety in your operation.

* While lift truck systems support safe operation and help minimize the potential for tip overs, proper operation of the lift truck and 100% full-time utilization of the truck’s seat belt are the primary and best means of keeping the truck and operator upright and safe. Refer to the operator and service manuals for proper operation and maintenance.

DON’T SETTLE FOR LESS THAN DSS - DYNAMIC STABILITY SYSTEM

Forklift safety is critical in the materials handling industry. That’s why we’ve engineered the Hyster® Dynamic Stability System (DSS) into every A Series model. The innovative system helps support confidence and promote safe operating practices for forklift operators. Click through each aspect to learn more.

Lateral forklift stability system

Reduces lift truck leans in turns, helping to improve lateral stability. The innovative steer axle design allows for superior travel over uneven surfaces. The system is 100% maintenance free, with no controller, sensors or wiring.

High-lift traction control

Limits truck speed when the carriage is raised above the height threshold. Operator will receive a visual indicator on the truck display and an audible alert.

High-lift tilt control

Limits tilt speed and forward tilt range when the carriage is raised above the height threshold while carrying a load. Operator will receive a visual indicator on the lift truck display and an audible alert.

Corner control

Dynamically limits speed when driving around corners, based on how tightly the truck is turning. Operator will receive a visual indicator on the forklift display and an audible alert.
