Operator Assist Technology by Hyster & Yale
At Burns Industrial Equipment, safety and performance go hand in hand. Our operator assist technology refresh offerings bring the latest innovations from Hyster® and Yale® directly to your operation — helping operators stay alert and in control while reducing the risk of accidents.
From forklift collision detection systems to other automated forklift systems, these technologies redefine what it means to work smart and safely by enhancing precision and awareness. Hyster and Yale operator assistance solutions provide real-time data, improve decision-making and help protect people and products on the warehouse floor.
Supporting Safety Through Smarter Technology
Every warehouse environment presents unique challenges. Fast-moving forklifts, dense pedestrian traffic and complex layouts demand a proactive approach to safety. That's where operator assist technology makes the difference.
Whether you're introducing forklift telemetry tools to monitor performance or upgrading to a forklift collision avoidance and pedestrian detection system, Burns Industrial Equipment helps integrate the right solutions for your fleet.
Our operator assist technology leverages advanced features to reduce downtime, minimize damage and keep safety top of mind.
Yale® Reliant™ Operator Assist Technology
Warehouse safety can be supported by innovative operator assistance tech. Tailored to the unique challenges of the warehouse, Yale Reliant™ is a robust technology suite designed to reinforce lift truck operating best practices and support operator awareness. It limits equipment performance in challenging situations while maintaining the operator's control of the lift truck.
Yale Reliant uses advanced sensors and location-based data to help maintain a safe distance between trucks, pedestrians and surroundings. Instead of intervening abruptly, it adjusts performance in real time — slowing speed, limiting acceleration or reducing hydraulic functions as needed for a smoother, more predictable driving experience that protects operators and assets.
Hyster® Reaction™ Operator Assist Technology
Hyster Reaction™ is an industry-first technology package that helps reinforce lift truck operating best practices, tailored to the complexity of demanding, fast-paced indoor lift truck environments. The solution applies a broad range of equipment performance controls based on location, equipment-specific thresholds and proximity to obstacles or pedestrians. At the same time, the operator remains in control of the lift truck.
Hyster Reaction represents the next evolution of forklift collision avoidance systems, designed to increase awareness and precision without compromising control. Using LiDAR, radar and real-time proximity detection, it continuously monitors surroundings — adjusting performance when necessary to prevent impacts and promote safer habits.
Enhancing Safety, Productivity and Confidence
With technologies like Hyster Reaction and Yale Reliant, your operation gains a layered safety approach supported by the latest in innovative equipment design. These systems:
- Help reduce product, facility and equipment damage.
- Reinforce consistent operator behavior across shifts.
- Improve training outcomes through real-time feedback.
- Support fleet visibility with advanced forklift telemetry data.
- Integrate seamlessly with existing warehouse management systems.
Burns Industrial Equipment can guide you through our operator assist technology options and upgrade your fleet to meet the demands of today's high-performance, safety-driven workplaces.
