Used Hyundai Counterbalance Forklifts Berkeley

Seat Belts for Counterbalances
A forklift, also known as a counterbalance, carries loads as heavy as 30,000 lbs. Despite being large and sturdy, these industrial machinery still carry the possible risk of crash or accident. To be able to be very safe, be certain to have operators put on an appropriate seat belt in the forklift and check that up to standard safety features are on board. People know that seat belts can save lives in the event of an accident.

Three-Point Seat Belt
The types of seat belts that could extend both over the lap and across the upper body are the three-point seat belts. These kinds of belts provide an extra safety degree by protecting your body. They are available in both bucket-seat and bench-seat types. The 3-point seat belts are available in either non-retractable or retractable kinds.

Retractable seat belts are commonly utilized in the majority of modern vehicles available. Though non-retractable styles increase safety, retractable styles offer a lot more comfort. It is truly impossible for a non-retractable seat belt to accidentally extend.

Lap belts
The kind 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, simply press on the belt button and then the two sides will separate.

Circuit-closed seat belt
The circuit-closed seat belts are the kind which force forklift operators to wear a seat belt. These seat belts have a micro-switch attached which sounds an alarm 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.
