Seat Belts for Counterbalances
A kind of equipment which can carry loads which are around 30,000 pounds is a forklift. A forklift is also referred to as a counterbalance. Despite being large and sturdy, these industrial machinery still carry the potential chance of accident or crash. To be able to be safe, be certain to have operators wear an appropriate 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
The kinds of seat belts which could extend both across the upper body and over the lap are the three-point seat belts. These belts provide an extra safety degree by protecting your body. They are offered 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 most modern vehicles on the market. Though non-retractable styles increase safety, retractable styles provide more comfort. It is impossible for a non-retractable seat belt to accidentally extend.
Lap belts
The kind of seat belt that only extends over the lower portion 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 would separate.
Circuit-closed seat belt
The type of seat belt that forces a forklift operator to wear a seat belt is a circuit-closed seat belt. These seat belts have a micro-switch attached that enables an alarm to 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 types.
