Optional Accessories for Your Forklift
Audible Devices - Motion or back-Up Alarms:
Back-up alarms and motion alarms are audio device accessories that generate enough sound so that the noise is heard overtop the sounds generated from the forklift itself.
The sound produced by the audio device should be discernible from other audible devices or sounds from the work setting. The sound must also be different from the other sound or audible devices within the work area. The audible device can end up contributing to OSHA noise limitation and to employee noise exposure; therefore, care needs 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 operators and employees because they could find them annoying. Additionally, 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 so as to avoid injuries. Furthermore, these cabs feature an emergency exit via removing the window. The levels of noise are lessened at the operator's ear due to additional sound proofing.
Operator Selectable Performance Modes: The operator can choose the performance requirement for the particular use. What's more, it allows a supervisor to set the utmost performance of a unit for an operator who is just beginning to learn. Being able to adjust and lessen the maximum performance of the unit allows a new operator to learn the operating features of the equipment in a controlled environment.
Impact Monitor: When the impact monitor is disabled, a supervisor is needed to activate and override the model. This encourages the operator to be certain to manage the machinery 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.
