Sensor to save on fuel
January 1st 2012 Yale Materials Handling has
released a fuel level sensing system
with a view to reducing workplace
downtime due to forklifts running
out of fuel.
The new Optical Fuel Level
Sensor is an option on all of the
company's Veracitor VX LPG trucks
and offers a more reliable indication
of when an LPG truck is beginning
to run out of fuel. According to
Tom Pickering, the company's
product strategy manager,
conventional systems can give as
little as 30 seconds warning before
trucks grind to a halt. The new
sensor gives up to 15 minutes
warning, which can help improve
efficiency and reduce operating
costs by providing drivers with the
opportunity to work a little longer
before stopping to refuel. More articles from Yale Europe Materials Handling: |
