Hyster introduces forklift stability control system to help support safety initiatives, adherence to best practices
May 03 2023 - 9:30AM
Hyster Company announces the Dynamic Stability System (DSS),
engineered to provide automated performance controls and alerts to
help reduce the likelihood of forward and sideways forklift tip
overs and promote safe operating practices. The innovative system
is standard on all H40-70A models in the recently launched Hyster A
Series.
“Safety is critical in materials handling. Fast-paced
environments and demanding productivity targets are just another
day on the job for forklift operators,” says Jimmy Anderson,
Product Manager, Hyster. “That’s why DSS is engineered to give
operators real-time stability support they can count on and learn
from. The system is also designed for managers, offering insight to
how forklifts are being operated, particularly when integrated with
the Hyster Tracker™ option, which is a real
differentiator. DSS does all of this without requiring the
additional maintenance and upkeep some competitive systems
demand.”
All DSS sensors are completely maintenance-free and continually
monitor forklift performance such as lift height, hydraulic load,
mast tilt, truck speed and steer angle. When the system detects the
lift truck exceeding designated stability thresholds, it
automatically intervenes with measures to support stable travel.
Four different subsystems help to smoothly decelerate the forklift
when traveling around corners and in turns, and to limit truck
speed, tilt speed and tilt range when carrying elevated loads.
The operator remains in command of the equipment and receives
performance reduction feedback, visual indicators and audible
alerts to help reinforce the best practices established in their
training. Integration with Hyster Tracker telemetry monitoring is
also available to help supervisors access greater visibility into
operator performance through real-time updates each time a DSS
function is triggered.
