Material handling operations is a serious affair that calls for a safe and conducive work environment. Be it loading and unloading of trucks or working in close proximity with the machines, there are risks attached to such situations. Observing desired vigilance and following safe practices can be instrumental in keeping a check on any hazardous situation from rearing its head. Having control over vehicle speed, preventing personnel from crossing a truck’s path or handling low visibility with precision are some of the measures that can avoid an untoward incident.
Linde Safety guard is a step in this direction that is proving to be an effective solution in curbing down accidental risks. It is an innovative monitoring system that improves safety for truck operators and pedestrians in the vicinity of the truck.
Engineered by a team of experts and evaluated by material handling specialists, the safety guard can be selected as a customer-specific solution for explosive-proof electric forklift range. This assistant system is designed for situations that are prone to potential risks such as collision of vehicles at blind intersections and at quarters with poor visibility. It sends out warning signals via acoustic sensors, flashing LED lights or vibrations to alarm the respective personnel/operators.
A deeper look into Linde Safety Guard Assistance System
Specializing in a diverse range of industrial trucks like Heavy duty Diesel Forklift, Battery forklift, etc, the Linde MHE always strives to come up with better and safer products. A remarkable addition to their assortment is the Linde Safety Guard that is configured to sense hazardous risks at your facility. The system can detect warning zones around corners and across walls. An industrial truck with the safety guard system recognizes the risk of an approaching vehicle and accordingly slows down as soon as it reaches a specified minimum distance.
Transmitters can be installed on industrial trucks, walls, racking or even carried by the personnel themselves to quickly detect an early warning. In case where a pedestrian and a truck are likely to collide, both the industrial truck and the pedestrian are warned simultaneously, allowing them to take quick action. While the receiver in the truck comes to know about pedestrian personnel approaching the danger zone and their direction, the pedestrians, on the other hand are alarmed by the transmitter they have on their person. This also works effectively through walls and racking.
As a gatekeeper for danger zones, it permits only protected vehicles to enter these spaces. If an operator of a standard reach truck or any other industrial truck attempts to enter the sensitive zone, the truck automatically brakes to creep speed. There is also an option of a display system that shows a large ATEX warning symbol on the floor, indicating entry into a sensitive area.
To avoid triggering of false alarm the guard system is primed to sense position of marked objects or personnel with an accuracy of ten centimeters. Moreover, it’s based on an ultra-wide broadband technology that ensures the required signals pass through all obstructions without impacting other networks - WLAN, Bluetooth or RFID.
What’s more, the system can be adapted to meet varied safety requirements. So, whether it’s a battery truck or other industrial truck, the system can be tailored for better handling of hazardous situations on respective individual sites.
