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 sound is heard overtop the sounds produced from the forklift itself.
The sound generated by the audio device must be distinguishable from other audible devices or sounds from the work setting. The sound must also be different from the other noise or audible devices in the work place. The audible device could employee noise exposure and end up contribute to OSHA noise limitation; therefore, care needs to be taken.
Hearing protection makes it harder to hear the audible device and to distinguish which direction and distance it is coming from. Audible devices can sometimes get disabled from operators and employees because they can find them very irritating. Furthermore, audible devices could also be objectionable to residents in the vicinity.
Additional Application and Operator Options:
Enclosed Operator Cabs: Operator enclosed cabs help to protect the operator from the elements. They utilize tempered glass in order to avoid injuries. Additionally, these cabs feature an emergency exit through removing the window. The levels of noise are lessened at the operator's ear due to additional sound proofing.
Operator Selectable Performance Modes: For each specific application, the operator is able to choose the performance need. Furthermore, it allows a supervisor to set the maximum performance of a unit for an operator who is just beginning to learn. Being able to adjust and reduce the maximum performance of the model allows a new operator to learn the operating characteristics of the machine in a controlled environment.
Impact Monitor: The impact monitor disables the unit and when this occurs, it requires a supervisor to re-enable and override the model. This encourages the operator to be certain to manage the machine in a more controlled manner.
Panoramic and Dual Rear View Mirrors: These particular mirrors help to assist the operator in observing the operating space behind the vehicle, and their tail swing area.
