Optional Accessories for Your Forklift
Audible Devices - Motion or back-Up Alarms:
Back-up alarms and motion alarms are audio device accessories which produce enough sound so that the sound is heard overtop the noises produced from the forklift itself.
The sound produced by the audio device must be distinguishable from other audible devices or noises from the work setting. The sound must also be different from the other noise or audible devices in the work place. The audible device can employee noise exposure and end up contribute to OSHA noise limitation; thus, care should be taken.
Hearing protection makes it trickier to hear the audible device and to determine what direction and distance it is coming from. Audible devices can occasionally get deactivated from both operators and employees because they could find them really annoying. As well, audible devices may also be objectionable to residents nearby.
Additional Application and Operator Options:
Enclosed Operator Cabs: Operator enclosed cabs help to protect the operator from the elements. They use tempered glass in order to avoid injuries. Additionally, these cabs feature an emergency exit via window removal. The levels of noise are reduced at the operator's ear due to additional sound proofing.
Operator Selectable Performance Modes: For each and every particular application, the operator is able to choose the performance need. In addition, it allows a supervisor to set the utmost performance of a model for an operator who is just learning. Being able to adjust and lessen the maximum performance of the unit enables a new operator to learn the operating characteristics of the equipment in a controlled setting.
Impact Monitor: The impact monitor disables the model and when this occurs, it requires a supervisor to re-enable and override the unit. This encourages the operator to be certain to manage the machine 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.
