In warehouses where people and machines operate in close quarters, pedestrian safety is a critical concern. At the recent PMH Forklift Safety event in Seattle, attendees witnessed firsthand how technology is stepping up to protect workers. One standout innovation was the Hyster Pedestrian Awareness Camera System, presented by TJ Ryals of Speedshield Technologies. This wireless forklift system represents a major leap forward in accident prevention with its smarter, more human-aware approach to pedestrian detection. Designed to retrofit easily into existing fleets and requiring only very limited training, the system is positioned to redefine warehouse safety standards throughout the industry. Beyond Object Detection: Smarter Vision for Safer Operations While previous safety systems have focused on detecting all nearby objects, the Pedestrian Awareness Camera System goes further. It’s purpose-built to recognize pedestrians specifically, ignoring inanimate obstacles to minimize

The future is electric. Just recently, California announced that it will ban the sale of gas-fueled cars by 2035. As gas-powered cars go out of style, so will diesel-powered machinery. In fact, the California Air Resources Board is currently developing a measure that could require forklift owners to replace their propane and gasoline forklifts with a battery-electric or fuel-cell version. Electrification is not just a trendy choice, and manufacturers are not just pushing the shift because it may soon be mandated. In fact, it’s a highly practical choice that has benefits for your fleet, the environment, the longevity of your machinery–and your operational costs. We call that a win-win. In this edition of the Papé Material Handling blog, let’s take a look at the benefits of adding clean power to your fleet. ELECTRIC OPTIONS ARE EVERYWHERE When it comes to electric-powered machinery, Hyster and Yale are pioneers. We are proud to be a Hyster and Yale dea

Below is what OSHA lists on their daily checklist: PERFORMED WITH THE ENGINE OFF: Check for leaks: Whether it’s hydraulic oil
