Toyota Material Handling UK has
announced that as of 1st September
2011 all new BT Reflex reach trucks
will be fitted with shock sensors as
standard. Today's fast paced
warehouse environments put stress
on both operators and equipment,
which can result in unpredictable
damage to goods, equipment and
infrastructure.
Toyota fits shock sensors as standard to its entire range of BT Reflex reach trucks, allowing any impact to trucks to be monitored, recorded and linked to drivers - leading to cost savings as well as increased safety on-site.
Mounted on the truck, shock sensors give the ability to record impact. The threshold for impact can be preset and only impacts exceeding the threshold value will be registered.
These values are set through a service parameter on the truck.
When a shock exceeds the threshold value, the truck will be limited to creep speed (2.5km/h) and a signal will sound every five seconds, until a reset of the truck has been performed.
