Forklift Load Safety Products on LogiMAT Display
20th February 2017
Dutch specialist RAVAS will focus on order picking and forklift safety at next month’s LogiMAT show. Errors in order picking mean lost or returned goods, stock differences, credit notes, phone calls and e-mails back and forth: loss of goodwill and a burden on the organization. RAVAS will show how weighing scales built into the forks of an order pick truck help you to realize immediate cost savings by eliminating picking errors. A novelty on the stand will be RAVAS-SafeLoad: a safety product for forklifts that provides both weight and stability information and acts like an interactive load diagram that warns the lift truck driver in case of unsafe lifting.
A RAVAS weighing scale built into the forks of an order pick truck allows you to check each individual pick on-line. Picking errors are signalled instantly and corrected on the spot, where the cost is lowest: at the picking slot, before the picker moves on to his next pick location. ROI studies have shown that payback time on the weighing scales is often less than a year, and that considerable cash flows are generated over the lifetime of those scales.
The RAVAS-SafeLoad is an aftermarket safety product that can be installed on any make and model counterbalanced truck and reach truck. It functions as an interactive load diagram that continuously advises the driver about the stability of his truck in the current lifting situation, and warns him when the lifting is considered unsafe. No more tipping over or breaking forks.
