Seat Belts for Counterbalances
A kind of machinery which can carry loads that are about 30,000 pounds is a forklift. A forklift is also called a counterbalance. Despite being large and sturdy, these industrial equipment still carry the possible chance of accident or crash. In order to be safe, be certain to have operators put on the correct seat belt in the forklift and make certain that up to standard safety features are also on board. We all know that in case of an accident, seat belts could save lives.
Three-Point Seat Belt
Three-point seat belts can extend over the lap and across the upper body. These belts provide an added safety degree by protecting your body. They are offered in both bench-seat and buckle-seat kinds. The 3-point seat belts are available in either non-retractable or retractable kinds.
The majority of modern motor vehicles available provide retractable seat belts. While non-retractable styles increase safety, retractable types offer a lot more comfort. It is impossible for a non-retractable seat belt to extend accidentally.
Lap belts
The kind of seat belt that only extends over the lower part of the body is a two-point lap belt. Most lap belts are non-retractable and feature a push-button closure system. In order to secure the seat belt, simply press on the belt button and then the two sides would separate.
Circuit-closed seat belt
The circuit-closed seat belts are the type that force forklift operators to wear a seat belt. These seat belts have a micro-switch attached which makes an alarm sound if an operator starts a vehicle and is unsecured by a seat belt. The circuit-closed seat belts are made in both non-retractable and retractable lap-band kinds.
