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 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 must also be different from the other sound 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 must be taken.
Determine the direction and distance the sound of the audible device is made harder because of the use of hearing protection. Audible devices could occasionally get disabled from both operators and workers because they could find them irritating. Also, audible devices may 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. Furthermore, these cabs feature an emergency exit through removing the window. Noise levels are reduced at the operator's ear because of additional sound proofing.
Operator Selectable Performance Modes: The operator can choose the performance requirement for the particular application. In addition, it enables a supervisor to set the maximum performance of a model for an operator who is just beginning to learn. Being able to lessen and adjust the maximum performance of the unit enables a new operator to learn the operating characteristics of the machine in a controlled setting.
Impact Monitor: When the impact monitor is disabled, a supervisor is required to activate and override the unit. This encourages the operator to be sure 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 operating environment behind the truck as well as the tail swing area.
