ACTIVE AND INTELLIGENT TECHNOLOGY FOR FORKLIFTS THAT IMPROVES SAFETY AND SAVES MONEY.

Forklifts are powerful and agile tools in many industries however, these machines pose many potential risks when moving or stationary – including the risk of tipping over if the lift is elevated and overloaded.

In Australia, there are over 1000 forklift related accidents each year, according to Verge Safety Barriers. Sadly, according to Work Safe Australia, from 2003 to 2015 there were 68 forklift fatalities – that’s over five people each year.

Operators need suitable training on forklift operations, weight load understanding, traffic management, and storage. They also need the best technology – intelligent and active technology that alerts them to danger, and to responds ahead of their own actions.

In recent years, innovative forklift safety products, such as MAX-SAFE’s Forklift Safety range, have made great strides in helping to minimise risk to operators, site or warehouse workers, and property. It’s an ideal solution for businesses in the Warehousing & Materials Handling industry, as well as businesses in the building and construction industry.

MAX-SAFE INTELLIGENT FORKLIFT SAFETY PRODUCTS & HOW THEY WORK

  • SEQUENCED SEATBELT INTERLOCK

    The MAX-SAFE Sequenced Seatbelt Interlock system uses a seat sensor and a seatbelt buckle sensor to determine if the operator is seated and buckled (in that sequence) before it allows the vehicle to start and/or drive off.

    • If the operator removes the belt, the system will neutralise the drive of the forklift.
    • In order to recommence driving, the operator must be seated and buckled.
  • TRANSMISSION INTERLOCK SYSTEM – FOR SPEED MANAGEMENT

    Our Forklift Speed Control System helps ensure safety speeds are complied with on-site. The Transmission Interlock system monitors the vehicle’s speed and engine RPM, and will only allow a gear selection or gear change if the speed and RPM are both below a set level. This system is guaranteed to reduce the drive tyre wear by at least 50%, in addition to protecting the transmission system.

    • Ideal for all forklift sizes.

Any accident caused by a forklift results in a shutdown while medical aid is given and the accident is investigated. Claims often result which, in years past (2008 to 2015), have averaged at just under $10,000 a claim according to WorkSafe Australia. Where fatalities have been involved, often large fines have also been imposed.

At SGESCO-MAX we continue to evolve our Forklift Safety products to take advantage of the latest radar and lidar technologies, and to comply with government regulations and accommodate customer learnings. We want to contribute to safer workplaces, with fewer forklift accidents and zero fatalities.
