Optional Accessories for Your Forklift
Audible Devices - Back-Up or Motion Alarms:
Back-up alarms and motion alarms are audio device accessories which generate enough sound so that the noise is heard overtop the noises generated from the forklift itself.
The sound has to be readily discernible from other audible devices or sounds in the work setting. Sound should be readily distinguishable from other noise or audible devices within the work area. The audible device can end up contributing to OSHA noise limitation and to employee noise exposure; hence, care needs to be taken.
Determine the direction and distance the sound of the audible device is made harder due to the use of hearing protection. Audible devices could sometimes get deactivated from workers and operators since they can find them annoying. As well, audible devices may also be objectionable to nearby residents.
Additional Application and Operator Options:
Enclosed Operator Cabs: To protect the operator from the elements, enclosed operator cabs made of tempered glass are utilized to help prevent injuries and lessen other concerns. Moreover, these cabs feature an emergency exit through window removal. Noise levels are lessened at the operator's ear due to additional sound proofing.
Operator Selectable Performance Modes: The operator is able to choose the performance need for the specific use. Moreover, it enables a supervisor to set the maximum performance of a model for an operator who is just learning. Being able to lessen and adjust the maximum performance of the unit allows a new operator to learn the machine's operating characteristics in a controlled environment.
Impact Monitor: The impact monitor disables the model and when this happens, it requires a supervisor to activate and override the model. This encourages the operator to be certain to manage the machinery in a more controlled manner.
Dual Rear View and Panoramic Mirrors: These mirrors serve as an aid to the operator in observing the operating environment behind the truck as well as the tail swing area.
