Optional Accessories for Your Forklift
Audible Devices - Back-Up or Motion Alarms:
Motion alarms and backup alarms are audio device accessories that generate enough sound so that the noise is heard overtop the sounds produced from the forklift itself.
The sound needs to be readily discernible from other audible devices or noises within the work environment. Sound should be readily distinguishable from other sound or audible devices within the work area. The audible device can end up contributing to OSHA noise limitation and to employee noise exposure; therefore, care has to be taken.
Determine the direction and distance the sound of the audible device is made harder because of the use of hearing protection. Audible devices can occasionally get deactivated from both workers and operators since they could find them irritating. In addition, audible devices can also be objectionable to residents nearby.
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 lessen other concerns. Moreover, these cabs feature an emergency exit through window removal. The levels of noise are lessened at the operator's ear due to additional sound proofing.
Operator Selectable Performance Modes: For every specific use, the operator can choose the performance requirement. Furthermore, 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 unit's maximum performance allows a new operator to learn the equipment's operating features in a controlled setting.
Impact Monitor: The impact monitor deactivates the unit and when this occurs, it needs a supervisor to activate and override the unit. This encourages the operator to be sure to manage the machinery in a more controlled manner.
Panoramic and Dual Rear View 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.
