Why are Add-ons improving forklift operations?
As Transmon Engineering launches a series of new devices to help improve the use and management of forklift trucks, the company claims that new ‘add-on’ technologies should be explored as a simple way to reduce cost, improve safety and increase energy performance. “Even my car has a reversing sensor, yet many businesses fail to address the hazards and related costs associated with poorly reversed forklifts or other heavy plant” remarks Paul Sercombe from Transmon Engineering, based in Leicester. “In many cases there is limited visibility and exceptional power, a damaging combination that can easily be controlled”. Transmon designs and supplies electronic devices and systems to improve forklift truck fleets and has developed the ‘Active Zone Reversing System’ that can be added to any vehicle of any size. The system not only provides a visual and audible alarm as it gets closer to a person, object or structure such as racking, but it also automatically applies the brake at 0.7 to 0 metre
