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 noises generated from the forklift itself.
The sound needs to be readily distinguishable from other audible devices or noises within the work environment. Sound must be readily discernible from 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; hence, care has to be taken.
Hearing protection makes it really trickier to hear the audible device and to determine what distance and direction it is coming from. Audible devices could sometimes get disabled from employees and operators as they could find them very annoying. Additionally, audible devices can also be objectionable to nearby residents.
Additional Application and Operator 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 lessen other problems. Moreover, these cabs feature an emergency exit via removing the window. Noise levels are lessened at the operator's ear because of additional sound proofing.
Operator Selectable Performance Modes: The operator is able to choose the performance need for the specific use. Additionally, it allows a supervisor to set the maximum performance of a unit for an operator who is just learning. Being able to adjust and reduce the maximum performance of the unit allows a new operator to learn the equipment's operating characteristics in a controlled setting.
Impact Monitor: The impact monitor deactivates the unit and when this occurs, it requires 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 particular mirrors help to assist the operator in observing the operating space behind the vehicle, and their tail swing area.
