Seat Belts for Counterbalances
A kind of machine which can carry loads which are roughly 30,000 pounds is a forklift. A forklift is also called a counterbalance. Despite being big and sturdy, these industrial machines still bear the potential chance of crash or accident. To be able to be very safe, be certain to have operators wear an appropriate seat belt in the forklift and make sure that up to standard safety features are on board. People know that seat belts can save lives in case of an accident.
Three-Point Seat Belt
Three-point seat belts can extend across the upper body and over the lap. These belts offer an extra degree of safety by protecting your body. They are offered in both bench-seat and buckle-seat types. The 3-point seat belts are available in either non-retractable or retractable types.
Retractable seat belts are normally used in the majority of modern motor vehicles on the market. While non-retractable types increase safety, retractable kinds provide much more comfort. It is not possible for a non-retractable seat belt to accidentally extend.
Lap belts
Two-point lap belts are ones which extend over the lower portion 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 then the two sides will separate.
Circuit-closed seat belt
The type of seat belt which forces a forklift operator to wear a seat belt is a circuit-closed seat belt. These seat belts have a micro-switch attached which sounds an alarm if an operator starts a vehicle and is not secured by a seat belt. The circuit-closed seat belts are made in both non-retractable and retractable lap-band styles.
