Automatic indoor speed reduction
It is now possible to switch between a programmable high and low speed automatically by utilizing RADAR sensing to detect ceiling heights up to 15M, when entering a building.
– Roof detection allows the speed of the truck to be limited when entering a building.
– Using Radar, the system detects when the truck is underneath a ceiling.
– When a ceiling is detected, the truck is limited to a pre-selected speed.
Reverse object detection system
– The rearward sensors only become active when reverse direction is selected
– From a stationary position, if an object is detected then the truck will be prevented from moving backwards. The truck can still move forwards in this condition.
– To move backwards, the driver must override the system using a button to ?acknowledge’ the object on the rear drive handle.
– When driving in reverse, the rear sensors detect objects at adjustable distances from the truck, with increasing audible and visual alarms for the 3 zones of detection (Green/Amber/Red on visual display).
– Reverse speed is limited upon detection of an object. This is adjustable, but our recommendation is that the speed reduces by more than 50% which will provide a 3rd ?physical’ warning to the driver that he is approaching an object.
– When the machine detects an object or person in the last zone the display will indicate a solid red warning, and a continuous tone will be heard from the display, the machine will automatically start to brake and the speed will be reduced to a predetermined cut back speed (4Kph), at no time will the truck physical stop.
