Seat Belts for Counterbalances
A type of machine which could carry loads that are approximately 30,000 pounds is a forklift. A forklift is also called a counterbalance. Despite being sturdy and large, these industrial machinery still carry the possible chance of crash or accident. In order to be really safe, be sure to have operators put on the correct seat belt inside the forklift and make sure that up to standard safety features are also on board. People know that in case of an accident, seat belts could save lives.
Three-Point Seat Belt
Three-point seat belts could extend over the lap and across the upper body. These belts offer 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 retractable and non-retractable kinds.
Most modern vehicles on the market provide retractable seat belts. Though non-retractable kinds increase safety, retractable styles offer a lot more comfort. It is impossible for a non-retractable seat belt to accidentally extend.
Lap belts
Two-point lap belts are those which extend over the lower part of the body. The majority of lap belts are non-retractable and feature a push-button closure system. In order to secure the seat belt, just press on the belt button and the two sides will separate.
Circuit-closed seat belt
The circuit-closed seat belts are the type that force forklift operators to put on a seat belt. These kinds of seat belts have a micro-switch attached that 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 types.
