Toyota provides a variety of quality accessories for your lift truck that,
depending on your specific application, may provide additional safety benefits
in your workplace. These accessories include back up alarms of various sound
levels, flashing/strobe lights in a variety of colors, and various shapes and
sizes of mirrors.
The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and
the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)
have established rigorous requirements for the design and operation of industrial trucks.
Your Toyota lift truck has been designed to meet and exceed those requirements. As
part of Toyota's commitment to safety, standard safety features have been designed
into each lift truck. These include safety devices such as overhead guards, operator
restraint systems, manually operated horns, skid resistant entry/exit steps, operator
assist grips and ergonomic placement of hydraulic controls.
As your Toyota lift truck becomes a part of your company's unique work environment,
both ANSI and OSHA require you to evaluate and determine whether your lift truck
should be equipped with additional accessories. Toyota lift trucks are designed
for maximum comfort and unobstructed visibility to the rear of the lift truck.
Many conditions, often unique to your work environment, affect the determination
as to whether your lift truck should be equipped with additional accessories, and
if so, the proper type of accessories that should be installed. These conditions
include, but are not limited to the following:
- High noise levels
- Lighting conditions
- High pedestrian traffic
- Enclosed area operation
|
- Limited aisle space
- Ground surfaces
- Hazardous or unique materials handling
|
Toyota strongly suggests that you consult with a safety professional familiar with
your type of industrial setting when assessing your specific workplace application requirements.
Toyota does not provide back up alarms, lights or mirrors as standard equipment on its lift trucks
because, absent a specific workplace need for such equipment, these devices have a detrimental effect on safety.
