Operator Assist Technology
Advanced Technology For Operator Awareness
The industry-first Hyster Reaction and Yale Reliant technologies take safety and performance to the next level by automatically adjusting lift truck behavior based on real-time equipment status, location and operating conditions. Designed to help reduce risk and support operators, these intelligent systems have logged over 14 million hours in the field. By providing real-time assistance, they help create a safer, more controlled work environment while keeping your productivity on track.
40%
The annual warehouse employee turnover, a churn that intensifies your dependence on inexperienced operators.

The annual cost of work-related injuries, an expense that translates to about $42,000 per event.
Forklift accident prevention is a priority
We value innovations that help support operator awareness, and understand the benefits to both human and production costs by providing operators and pedestrians with the best tools and innovations suited to their specific applications.
Collision Avoidance (OD/PD)
Two collision avoidance solutions are available to pair with ADS. Object Detection (OD) uses two-dimensional LiDAR technology to detect objects within a path of travel (forks trailing - 170 degrees) to detect facility infrastructure, product or material, other trucks and personnel in your environment.Â
Proximity Detection (PD) uses ultra-wideband technology to identify potential hazards from all angles within a proximity sphere (360 degrees), even those that reside outside of an operator's field of view. Collective Detection (CD) combines both solutions.
Advanced Dynamic Stability (ADS)
Advanced Dynamic Stability (ADS) is available on every truck equipped with Hyster Reaction and Yale Reliant. This is the 'base' of the solution, continuously monitoring the combined center of gravity of the lift truck and the load it carries to automatically apply carefully measured performance adjustments to avoid abrupt shifts or jerks that can upset forklift stability.
Real-Time Location Sensing (RTLS)
RTLS utilizes ultra-wideband technology to provide device-to-server connections. This solution provides asset tracking and geofencing to set business rules with greater intelligent muting capabilities for higher efficiency.Â
The RTLS server communicates with trucks, zones and pedestrians; and requires additional infrastructure and engineering efforts to define scope of work. RTLS is available to pair with PD or CD packages.
Stop forklift safety incidents in their tracks
Lift truck accidents and close calls like these all too familiar?
- A pedestrian unexpectedly walks in front of a lift truck
- An operator travels too quickly through crowded areas or around turns
- A load slides off the forks and damages product
- A truck hits racking or other equipment
They might be today but they don't have to be tomorrow. Yale Reliant and Hyster Reaction are designed to support operator awareness and intervene as needed, proactively adjusting truck performance based on real-time conditions.
Watch it support forklift safety
With over 14 million hours of run time, see how this solution has been proved to automatically respond to forklift and load stability as well as operating environment.
