Optional Accessories for Your Forklift
Audible Devices - Motion or back-Up Alarms:
The audible devices like back-up alarms or motion alarms generate sound that has to be really loud to be heard above the sound which the forklift makes in the operating area.
The sound has to be readily distinguishable from other audible devices or sounds within the work environment. Sound should be readily discernible from other sound or audible devices in the work area. The audible device can end up contributing to OSHA noise limitation and to employee noise exposure; hence, care must be taken.
Hearing protection makes it really harder to hear the audible device and to determine what distance and direction it is coming from. Audible devices can occasionally get disabled from both operators and employees as they could find them very irritating. As well, audible devices may also be objectionable to residents in the vicinity.
Additional Operator & Application 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 concerns. Furthermore, 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: The operator can choose the performance need for the specific use. As well, it enables a supervisor to set the utmost performance of a unit for an operator who is just starting to learn. Being able to reduce and adjust the maximum performance of the unit allows a new operator to learn the equipment's operating characteristics 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 equipment in a more controlled manner.
Panoramic and Dual Rear View 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.
