Optional Accessories for Your Forklift
Audible Devices - Motion or back-Up Alarms:
Motion alarms and backup alarms are audio device accessories that produce enough sound so that the noise is heard overtop the noises produced from the forklift itself.
The sound produced by the audio device should be discernible from other audible devices or sounds from the work environment. The sound must also be different from the other noise or audible devices within the work place. The audible device could employee noise exposure and end up contribute to OSHA noise limitation; hence, 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 can occasionally get deactivated from employees and operators since they could find them annoying. Additionally, audible devices can 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. Moreover, these cabs feature an emergency exit through window removal. The levels of noise are reduced at the operator's ear because of additional sound proofing.
Operator Selectable Performance Modes: For each specific application, the operator is able to choose the performance requirement. Also, it allows a supervisor to set the maximum performance of a unit for an operator who is just starting to learn. Being able to adjust and reduce the maximum performance of the model allows a new operator to learn the operating features of the machine in a controlled environment.
Impact Monitor: When the impact monitor is disabled, a supervisor is needed to enable and override the model. This encourages the operator to be certain to manage the machine in a more controlled manner.
Dual Rear View and Panoramic Mirrors: These specific mirrors help to assist the operator in observing their tail swing area, and operating space behind the vehicle.
