Optional Accessories for Your Forklift
Audible Devices - Back-Up or Motion Alarms:
Motion alarms and backup alarms are audio device accessories that generate enough sound so that the noise is heard overtop the sounds produced from the forklift itself.
The sound has to be readily discernible from other audible devices or sounds in the work setting. Sound should be readily distinguishable from other noise or audible devices in the work area. The audible device can end up contributing to OSHA noise limitation and to employee noise exposure; 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 sometimes get disabled from both operators and employees because they can find them irritating. Moreover, audible devices may also be objectionable to residents in the vicinity.
Additional Application and Operator 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 lessen other concerns. Furthermore, these cabs feature an emergency exit through removing the window. The levels of noise 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 particular use. Moreover, it enables a supervisor to set the utmost performance of a model for an operator who is just learning. Being able to lessen and adjust the unit's maximum performance enables a new operator to learn the operating characteristics of the equipment in a controlled setting.
Impact Monitor: When the impact monitor is disabled, a supervisor is needed to activate and override the model. This encourages the operator to be sure 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.
