Hyster Company Profile

First-of-its-kind operator assist technology adjusts lift truck performance based on real-time conditions.

First-of-its-kind operator assist technology adjusts lift truck performance based on real-time conditions.

Hyster Reaction™ is a first-of-its-kind package of technologies designed to help reinforce lift truck operating best practices. The solution is tailored to the complexities of fast-paced, demanding indoor environments, even able to account for site-specific operating rules.

The system applies a broad range of performance controls based on location, equipment-specific thresholds and proximity to obstacles or pedestrians — all while the operator remains in control of the truck.

Hyster Reaction leverages 3 key technology elements to gather real-time data and apply limitations to truck performance. These technologies enable a broad range of functions, such as:

  • Reduced travel speed — Hyster Reaction automatically limits lift truck speed when approaching pedestrians and other equipment, or according to location-specific rules, such as designated pedestrian zones.

  • Hydraulic function control — Hyster Reaction adjusts hydraulic functions to help reduce the risk of tipping and load pitching, including an overload arrest function that prevents operators from moving loads that exceed specified weight thresholds.

  • Operator alerts —If Hyster Reaction senses a pedestrian or obstacle in close proximity to the truck or within the path of travel, or any issues with equipment status, it triggers visual and audible alerts to support operator awareness and adherence to best practices.
