Hyster & Yale Announce Update to Operator Sensing System

88a68ef3-fb73-4b1e-84d6-76f59f9a5345

Hyster & Yale recently announced an update to both the Hyster® Operator Sensing System (OSS) and Yale® Smart Operator Sensing System (OSS) for the E30-40HSD3 and ESC030-040AD truck models respectively. Here’s what’s stayed the same, what’s new and why this update will continue to help increase operator confidence and consistency.

What’s the Same?

The patented OSS for both Hyster & Yale remains minimally invasive to the operator and continues to utilize 3 pairs of internally-mounted light emitters and collectors targeting the operator’s legs and truck entry point. The extent of applicable environments and operating conditions remain unchanged and the system is not adversely affected by fluorescent lights or sunlight.

What’s New?

  1. System Logic Alternative Configurations:
  • Operational Logic Settings:
    • [Factory Default] – “Or” – Either right or left extremity in contact with applicable sensor beams during operation.
    • [Left Extremity Only] – The left extremity in contact with applicable beam during operation.
  • 2-Second System Recovery Time
  • System Timeout and Anti-Tamper
  • Alternative egress sensor settings
    • [Factory Default] – Regen and warning sound.
    • Warning sound only
    • Off

*Qualified technicians can make adjustments to logic and egress via the field service tool to accommodate application requirements.

 

2) Start-Up Procedure and Ready to Operate audible coaching

3) Optional externally-mounted egress sensor (increases length of the unit)

 

Benefits of Hyster & Yale OSS and This Update:

With no raised pedals to stand on and more useable floor area than the competitors, the operator experiences increased freedom of movement during operation. Utilizing less mechanical parts than the leading competitors, both the Hyster OSS and Yale Smart OSS is easily serviceable and maintenance free.

With updates like the ones mentioned above, Hyster & Yale showcases a dedication to improved mobility, versatility, and customization for optimized efficiency and safety for operators.

Competitors offer a “partial solution” to freedom of movement but are not able to match the combined value of:

  • No pedals to stand on
  • No moving parts
  • Freedom of movement during truck operation to adjust posture and position

 

When Will This Be Available?

The updated Hyster Operator Sensing System will be installed automatically on all E30-40HSD3 units starting in April 2019 with serial numbers greater than C219N04330T, first shipments arriving in Q2 2019.

The updated Yale Smart Operator Sensing System will be installed automatically on all ESC030-040AD units starting in April 2019 with serial numbers greater than C883N04596T first shipments arriving in Q2 2019.

The new externally-mounted egress sensor option will interface automatically with NOVO and NOVO SPED price pages. Externally-mounted egress sensor increases the truck length by approximately 2 inches. Standard rules for order changes apply.
