Optional Accessories for Your Forklift
Audible Devices - Motion or back-Up Alarms:
Back-up alarms and motion alarms are audio device accessories that produce enough sound so that the sound is heard overtop the noises produced from the forklift itself.
The sound generated by the audio device should be discernible from other audible devices or noises from the work environment. The sound must also be different from the other sound or audible devices in the work place. The audible device could employee noise exposure and end up contribute to OSHA noise limitation; hence, care should be taken.
Determine the direction and distance the sound of the audible device is made more difficult because of the use of hearing protection. Audible devices could sometimes get deactivated from operators and employees as they can find them irritating. Moreover, 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 avoid injuries and reduce other problems. Furthermore, these cabs feature an emergency exit via window removal. The levels of noise are lessened at the operator's ear because of additional sound proofing.
Operator Selectable Performance Modes: The operator is able to choose the performance need for the specific use. Also, it allows a supervisor to set the utmost performance of a unit for an operator who is just learning. Being able to lessen and adjust the maximum performance of the unit enables a new operator to learn the operating characteristics of the machine in a controlled setting.
Impact Monitor: When the impact monitor is deactivated, a supervisor is required to enable and override the unit. This encourages the operator to be sure 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 tail swing area, as well as the operating environment behind the truck.
