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 noise is heard overtop the sounds generated from the forklift itself.
The sound generated by the audio device should be discernible from other audible devices or noises from the work setting. The sound should also be different from the other noise or audible devices within the work place. The audible device could end up contributing to OSHA noise limitation and to employee noise exposure; therefore, care must be taken.
Determine the distance and direction the sound of the audible device is made harder because of the use of hearing protection. Audible devices could sometimes get disabled from workers and operators since they could find them irritating. Furthermore, audible devices could also be objectionable to residents in the vicinity.
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 issues. Additionally, these cabs feature an emergency exit via window removal. The levels of noise are reduced at the operator's ear because of additional sound proofing.
Operator Selectable Performance Modes: For each and every particular use, the operator could choose the performance need. Also, it enables a supervisor to set the unit's maximum performance for an operator who is just learning. Being able to adjust and reduce the unit's utmost performance enables a new operator to learn the equipment's operating characteristics in a controlled setting.
Impact Monitor: When the impact monitor is disabled, a supervisor is required to activate and override the unit. This encourages the operator to be certain to manage the machinery in a more controlled manner.
Dual Rear View and Panoramic Mirrors: These particular mirrors help to assist the operator in observing their tail swing area, and operating space behind the vehicle.
