The Hyster Pedestrian Awareness Camera can accurately identify pedestrians at ranges up to 16 feet through a 110-degree field of view, and alerts operators when a pedestrian is detected.
A voiceover alerts the operator and a light indicates which zone the pedestrian is in on the truck-mounted operator remote.
Optional traction alerts go a step further by automatically and gradually slowing down the lift truck when a pedestrian is detected, an effect similar to the operator removing their foot from the accelerator - all while keeping the operator in total control of the lift truck.
Hyster’s Pedestrian Awareness Camera was the winner of the Material Handling 24/7 Readers’ Choice Products of the Year 2025 for Automatic Data Capture.
MH 24/7 is another publication of Peerless Media.
The pedestrian awareness detection system was developed using extensive amounts of photographic data collected from worksites. It adapts to various lighting and environmental conditions, and can be used for both indoor and outdoor forklift applications.
The system is optimized for travel speeds of five miles per hour or less, giving operators ample time to identify alerts and react to avoid contact. The camera is mounted to the rear, forks-trailing side of the lift truck, and alerts disengage once the identified pedestrian is no longer in view of the camera.
The system is available in multiple configurations, allowing operations to get audible and visual alerts only, or take advantage of traction alerts that automatically engage deceleration when a pedestrian is detected.
The pedestrian awareness camera is the latest addition to the Hyster Reaction lineup of operator assist technologies that take input from the work environment and equipment status to alert operators and adjust lift truck performance.
