New low cost safety unit for forklifts
May 18th 2006

The new ShockSwitch AC (Access Control and Monitoring) unit from Lamerholm Electronics is a low cost system for restricting access to forklift trucks to authorised drivers only. Packed full of features in line with the recent HSE recommendations for Workplace Transport Safety, the ShockSwitch AC will ensure that operators, assets and companies’ health and safety interests are all protected to the highest standards.

A major feature of the ShockSwitch AC is that it has an integrated driver certificate monitoring facility. This means that driver competency can be checked and constantly improved while the unique, tamper-proof hardware identifies every authorised driver. The addition of the ShockSwitch AC unit in a factory or warehouse environment serves to answer many safety concerns as it actively checks and reports on driver qualifications.

By far the most cost effective solution currently available in the marketplace, the ShockSwitch AC also offers the additional benefit of being fully upgradeable to the ShockSwitch ID/RFID, thus enabling driver impacts to be monitored and driver standards improved whilst lowering maintenance and damage costs to your vehicles, site and product.
