Do you know where personnel most frequently touch equipment during daily operation and maintenance? Through the HY-Shield Clean program, Hyster offers tailored sanitization guidelines based on equipment type, by mapping those common touch points – and much more. HY-Shield Clean is a comprehensive lift truck sanitization program designed to help keep facility personnel safe during all aspects of forklift activity, including daily operation and service calls.
From the beginning, our goal was to lead the way with proactive measures to help customers adapt to fast-changing conditions. Now that economies are re-opening, we apply those lessons learned to help supply chains address urgent service tasks that were put on hold due to the pandemic and manage sanitization in daily lift truck operations. The program helps apply best practices from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to lift truck service and operation.
The program guides Hyster® dealers through a range of offerings for effective sanitization before, during and after each service call or shift. These offerings cover everything from standalone deep cleaning to equipping technicians and lift truck operators with sanitization supplies and personal protective equipment, such as masks and gloves – all sourced to support compliance with CDC
COVID-19 has caused some fleets to postpone maintenance and repairs on lift trucks, for fear that a visiting technician might add to the virus risk. But foregoing necessary maintenance can create yet another danger: risking the operator’s safety and productivity. Organizations need guidance on how to conduct daily lift truck operation in accordance with CDC guidelines.
HY-Shield Clean is a comprehensive program that helps minimize risk for all parties during all steps of forklift contact, maintenance and readiness for operation.
