HomeWarehouse Safety: How to Limit Forklift Speed
According to the statistics of OSHA, at least 85 people die in forklift accidents every year around the world, most of which are caused by improper forklift operation and speeding. Forklift speeding poses multiple safety hazards: high risk of loss of control, increased risk of accidents, extended deceleration distances, damage to cargo and equipment, threats to employee safety, and possible legal liability.
Therefore, how to limit forklift speeds is crucial to your business.
Waytronic Security's Forklift Speed Limiters
The best way for warehouses and factories to avoid accidents caused by speeding forklifts is to use forklift speed limiters, which can effectively alert the driver when the forklift exceeds the speed limit and can actively limit the speed and lock the vehicle in special circumstances.
Forklift Speed Limiter Functions
Speed Management
With the technology of precise speed sensor and smart chip, the device can display and monitor the operating speed of forklift in real time. When the forklift truck is approaching or exceeding the preset safe speed, the alarm will emit an audible and visual warning to remind the driver to slow down.
Three levels of speed alarm settings
The forklift speed limiter can be preset with three different speed alarm modes.
The first level of driving reminder: the warning light flashes, prompting the driver and pedestrians.
The second level of speed warning: the police light flashes and will sound an alarm to prompt the driver to slow down and pedestrians.
The third level of locking alarm: flashing lights and real voice alarm, when the forklift exceeds the preset three levels of speed for a long time (set time), the forklift speed limiter will continue to alarm and force the forklift to speed or stop.
More intelligent is that some advanced version of the product can also realize the regional speed limit, forklift inside the designated workplace to follow the prescribed speed, leaving the area can be restored to the original speed. And also can realize the corner blind zone, intersection, warehouse channel and other personnel-intensive areas automatically reduce the speed, which greatly improves the safety of enterprise production.
