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 sounds generated from the forklift itself.
The sound generated by the audio device should be discernible from other audible devices or sounds from the work environment. The sound should also be different from the other noise or audible devices in the work place. The audible device can end up contributing to OSHA noise limitation and to employee noise exposure; thus, care has to be taken.
Hearing protection makes it trickier to hear the audible device and to distinguish what direction and distance it is coming from. Audible devices can sometimes get disabled from workers and operators as they could find them very irritating. As well, audible devices could also be objectionable to residents in the vicinity.
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 prevent injuries. Additionally, these cabs feature an emergency exit through removing the window. Noise levels are lessened at the operator's ear due to additional sound proofing.
Operator Selectable Performance Modes: For each and every particular use, the operator could choose the performance requirement. As well, 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 model's utmost performance enables a new operator to learn the operating characteristics of the machinery in a controlled environment.
Impact Monitor: When the impact monitor is disabled, a supervisor is required to enable and override the model. This encourages the operator to be certain to manage the equipment in a more controlled way.
Dual Rear View and Panoramic 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.
