However, the equipment requirements for forklift trucks and warehouse handling equipment may change over time, for instance due to new safety regulations, modified logistics processes, or the comfort requirements of drivers who operate the trucks on a daily basis. In the majority of cases, a simple retrofit helps, for example, to adapt a forklift to the new requirements without an expensive conversion or to upgrade it to the latest state of the art. You can also provide the same equipment features uniformly for your entire fleet. Linde supplies the necessary retrofit solutions and accessories for the areas of safety, efficiency, and comfort. For example, these include the innovative assistance system Linde Safety Guard, the Linde BlueSpot™ driving path warning device, components for the automatic recording and transmission of operating hours, and a practical holder for smartphones.
Safety
There is no room for compromise when it comes to safety in the workplace. That's why Linde provides retrofit solutions from the visual warning signal through to the driver assistance system, which increase safety for drivers and pedestrians in the plant. Some examples are the Linde Safety Guard a warning system for potential hazards, the Linde BlueSpot™ for improved visibility of approaching trucks and the Linde Speed Assist driver assistance system.
Guaranteed Fastening with the OrangeBelt
The fastening indicator on the Linde OrangeBelt prevents a driver from driving off when their lap belt is unfastened. The control logic even monitors the sequence of first sitting down and then buckling up, thus preventing the driver from leaving the seat belt permanently fastened and sitting on the fastened belt. The signal color can be seen from afar, meaning that you can quickly check that a driver is buckled in. In this way, the OrangeBelt increases safety in the workplace easily and effectively.
SpeedAssist Stops Speeders
Fast operation with a forklift truck means high productivity, but this must not be at the expense of safety in the workplace. Often, forklift drivers are not even aware of their excessive speed. The SpeedAssist assistance system developed by Linde supports drivers by automatically reducing their speed upon entry into the warehouse and production halls – in other words, wherever an adapted speed helps to prevent accidents. The range, sensitivity, and response time of modern radar sensors can be individually adapted to suit the surroundings and customer requirements. This ensures, for example, that the forklift does not inadvertently brake when travelling under bridges in outside areas. The Linde Speed Assist is easy to install, improves safety indoors, and maintains the customary high levels of efficiency of the forklift outdoors.
