Seat Belts for Counterbalances
A kind of machinery which could carry loads that are about 30,000 lbs is a forklift. A forklift is also referred to as a counterbalance. Despite being sturdy and big, these industrial machines still bear the potential risk of accident or crash. To be able to be safe, be certain to have operators put on the right seat belt inside 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 provide an extra safety degree by protecting your body. They are available in both bucket-seat and bench-seat kinds. The 3-point seat belts are offered in either retractable and non-retractable styles.
Most modern motor vehicles on the market offer retractable seat belts. Though non-retractable kinds increase safety, retractable types provide more comfort. It is not possible for a non-retractable seat belt to extend accidentally.
Lap belts
Two-point lap belts are ones that 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, simply press on the belt button and the two sides would 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 which makes an alarm sound if an operator starts a vehicle and is unsecured by a seat belt. The circuit-closed seat belts are made in both retractable and non-retractable lap-band styles.
