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 lean 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.

OPERATOR ASSIST SOLUTION
FORKLIFT FLEET INSIGHTS & CONTROLS
Hyster Tracker forklift telemetry provides true wireless fleet management, equipping operations with actionable insights to drive fleet efficiency, improve operator performance, reduce carbon emissions and lower overall materials handling costs. Wireless monitoring, the base level of Hyster Tracker, comes standard on all A Series models.
OPERATOR ASSIST SOLUTION
PEDESTRIAN AWARENESS ACTIVE ALERTS & INTERVENTIONS
Hyster Reaction pedestrian awareness active alerts and interventions are an optional tool to help support operators in looking out for those on foot around them. The camera system can be used for both indoor and outdoor applications, and it accurately identifies pedestrians at ranges up to 16 feet through a 110-degree field of view and provides your choice of automatic alerts to the forklift operator when a pedestrian is detected.
