Optional Accessories for Your Forklift
Audible Devices - Motion or back-Up Alarms:
Motion alarms and backup alarms are audio device accessories that generate enough sound so that the noise is heard overtop the sounds generated from the forklift itself.
The sound produced by the audio device must 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 within the work area. The audible device can employee noise exposure and end up contribute to OSHA noise limitation; therefore, care must be taken.
Hearing protection makes it trickier to hear the audible device and to distinguish which direction and distance it is coming from. Audible devices could sometimes get deactivated from operators and employees because they could find them very annoying. Additionally, audible devices could also be objectionable to residents nearby.
Additional Operator & Application Options:
Enclosed Operator Cabs: To be able protect the operator from the elements, enclosed operator cabs made of tempered glass are used to help avoid injuries and reduce other problems. Furthermore, these cabs feature an emergency exit via window removal. Noise levels are reduced at the operator's ear because of additional sound proofing.
Operator Selectable Performance Modes: The operator could choose the performance need for the specific use. In addition, it enables a supervisor to set the utmost performance of a unit for an operator who is just learning. Being able to reduce and adjust the unit's maximum performance enables a new operator to learn the operating features of the machine in a controlled environment.
Impact Monitor: The impact monitor deactivates the unit and when this happens, it requires a supervisor to activate and override the unit. This encourages the operator to be sure to manage the machinery in a more controlled way.
Dual Rear View and Panoramic Mirrors: These specific mirrors help to assist the operator in observing the operating space behind the vehicle, and their tail swing area.
