Operator Assist Systems

Operator Assist Systems are proven Technology Solutions from Hyster and Yale that enhance safety and productivity. Hyster Reaction™ and Yale Reliant™ reinforce best practices in real time — without taking control away from the operator.

These systems use lidar for object detection, ultra-wideband for tagged personnel and equipment proximity, and Real-Time Location Sensing (RTLS) to automatically trigger speed reduction, hydraulic adjustments, or full avoidance when needed. The result is faster reaction times, reduced collision risk, maintained productivity, and a safer workplace for both operators and pedestrians.

Hyster Reaction™ and Yale Reliant™ are available on dozens of counterbalanced and warehouse models.
