Optional Accessories for Your Forklift
Audible Devices - Back-Up or Motion Alarms:
The audible devices such as back-up alarms or motion alarms generate sound which needs to be very loud in order to be heard above the noise which the forklift creates in the operating area.
The sound generated by the audio device should be discernible from other audible devices or noises from the work environment. The sound should also be different from the other sound or audible devices in the work place. The audible device could end up contributing to OSHA noise limitation and to employee noise exposure; hence, care must be taken.
Determine the direction and distance the sound of the audible device is made more difficult due to the use of hearing protection. Audible devices can sometimes get deactivated from both employees and operators since they can find them really irritating. Moreover, audible devices could 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 used to help avoid injuries and reduce other issues. 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 is able to choose the performance need for the specific application. Moreover, 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 utmost performance allows a new operator to learn the operating characteristics of the machine in a controlled environment.
Impact Monitor: When the impact monitor is deactivated, a supervisor is required to enable and override the unit. This encourages the operator to be sure to manage the machine in a more controlled manner.
Panoramic and Dual Rear View Mirrors: These specific mirrors help to assist the operator in observing their tail swing area, and operating space behind the vehicle.
