For increased safety and operational efficiency, the overhead safety gate may be incorporated in new and existing mezzanine structures and elevated surfaces in warehouses, distribution centers, storerooms and manufacturing facilities. Engineered for smooth operation and with a small footprint, the gate provides convenient lift truck access to elevated surfaces. Features include a leveling mechanism that resists gate binding, an integral spring assist to slow gate descent and a 4-inch high kickplate to prevent material from falling off the edge. Painted safety yellow, the gate meets all industry codes and safety standards....more- 10/08/2007
The Indoor Collision Avoidance system for industrial vehicles reduces the number of accidents caused by collisions between automated guided vehicles and lift trucks. The system improves AGV route planning by incorporating knowledge of lift truck locations. AGVs, forklifts and other free-roaming and guided vehicles are equipped with the Sky-Trax Indoor Positioning System, which determines each vehicle’s position and broadcasts it to other vehicles in the network. The system forewarns drivers and AGV navigation systems of impending collisions....more- 08/06/2007
