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 noise is heard overtop the noises produced from the forklift itself.
The sound produced by the audio device must 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 can 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 more difficult because of the use of hearing protection. Audible devices could sometimes get disabled from both operators and workers because they can find them very annoying. Also, audible devices can also be objectionable to nearby residents.
Additional Operator & Application 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 concerns. 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: For each particular application, the operator can choose the performance need. Additionally, it allows a supervisor to set the unit's utmost performance for an operator who is just learning. Being able to adjust and reduce the model's maximum performance allows a new operator to learn the machine's operating features in a controlled setting.
Impact Monitor: The impact monitor deactivates the unit and when this occurs, it needs a supervisor to re-enable and override the unit. This encourages the operator to be sure to manage the equipment 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.
