To be able to be very safe, be sure to have operators wear the right seat belt inside the forklift and check that up to standard safety features are also on board. People know that seat belts could save lives in the event of an accident.
Three-Point Seat Belt
Three-point seat belts could extend over the lap and across the upper body. These kinds of belts provide an extra degree of safety by protecting your body. They are available in both bucket-seat and bench-seat types. The 3-point seat belts are offered in either non-retractable or retractable kinds.
Retractable seat belts are usually utilized in the majority of modern motor vehicles on the market. Although non-retractable kinds increase safety, retractable types offer a lot more comfort. It is truly impossible for a non-retractable seat belt to extend accidentally.
Lap belts
The type of seat belt which only extends over the lower part of the body is a two-point lap belt. Most lap belts feature a push-button closure system and are non-retractable. In order to secure the seat belt, just press on the belt button and then the two sides will separate.
Circuit-closed seat belt
The kind of seat belt that forces a forklift operator to put on a seat belt is a circuit-closed seat belt. These seat belts have a micro-switch attached that makes an alarm sound if an operator starts a vehicle and is not secured by a seat belt. The circuit-closed seat belts are made in both retractable and non-retractable lap-band types.
