SAFE REVERSING
When a big bulky load is blocking the view to the front, sometimes the
only option is to drive backwards. The problem here is that the driver
has to twist their upper body into an unnatural position in order to see
where they're going. The more they have to do this, the greater the
strain on their body and, ultimately, the greater the damage to their
health and the greater the risk of an accident. Our optional rotating
driver’s workstation solves this problem. By pressing foot-pedals,
the driver can rotate their entire workstation – including their seat,
operating controls, steering wheel, and pedals – to the required
position. This reduces the strain on their spine caused by
turning backwards in their seat and also improves their
field of vision. The rotating driver’s workstation can
be adjusted to any position up to a maximum
rotation of 180 degrees.
EARLY WARNINGS TO REDUCE RISKS
The Linde Safety Guard really comes into its own in confined
environments where forklift trucks and people are working
close together. This state-of-the-art assistance system is able
to establish – with centimeter accuracy – the exact location of
pedestrians and vehicles in the truck’s vicinity. The system
uses special transmitter and receiver units which communi-
cate with one another – even through shelves, walls and
doors – with zero interference thanks to the ultra-broadband
technology. The Linde Safety Guard is therefore able to detect
potentially critical situations ahead of time, for instance if a
forklift driver and a pedestrian are on a collision course in the
warehouse. Linde’s new interactive safety vest also comes
into play in scenarios like this. Featuring smart technology,
the garment alerts the wearer to an approaching truck by
means of vibration as well as an acoustic signal. Thanks to the
ultra- bright LED stripes, the vest also makes the wearer highly
visible from a good distance away.
