Industrial trucks are like many other mechanical tools as they are manufactured for a specific purpose, with a specific intended application use, so unless there is a gargantuan oversight in the development and or production of a product, most are functional of they will not be in the market long. The free market has a way of eliminating or at least black listing publicly those products that are intrinsically defective, meaning they will not sell long in the market.
For example if a Distribution Warehouse shunt truck tractor-trailer switcher Driver Safety 5th wheel King Pin Camera system is added to the Yard Jockeys Terminal Tractor that moves trailers from place ot place in a large distribution yard, the Yard Jockey can now see the actual condition of the 5th Wheel and King pin to prevent high hitches and possible rolling over of trailers while mocing them.
Why are there so many property-related incidents related to forklifts?
Industrial lifts operate in unusual ways due to their design and load balancing limitations. When the load center of gravity is low, most platforms remain stable, but in a lift application, the load center of gravity is elevated, making it more susceptible to energy and balance issues that can negatively affect the vehicle’s safe handling characteristics.
Ambulances and Medical transport vehicles have similar issues. They often install Medicaid Medical Transport In-Vehicle Surveillance Cameras to document what happens. They have a tendency to overturn when taking high-speed turns. Ambulances are also top heavy, as are concrete trucks and liquid tank transporters.
Why do people do stupid things with their company forklifts?
Honestly, because they can. At this point, I have so little confidence in the level of intelligence of my fellow humans that I look both ways at a roundabout. We are an odd species that survives in spite of our collective stupidity. The fact that about 92% of us are descendants of Neanderthal cave dwellers might go a long way to explaining why so many of us are incapable of rational thought or the association of cause-and-effect calamities.
Why does OSHA rank forklift activities as some of the most dangerous to company employees?
This is based on the incidence of accidents, employee injuries, and employee deaths involving forklifts.
Other vehicle applications usually involve the transportation of passengers in the vehicles, so there is much greater attention to passenger safety.
For example:
Paratransit Driver Safety Video Camera Surveillance Systems are installed in these transport vehicles to help document passenger treatment during the trip.
Elderly Day Care Shuttle & Assisted Living Transportation Vehicle Video Cameras are incorporated in those shuttle vehicles to help with potential claims made by those who may be under perception or mind-altering medications that can give them the false perception of what might have happened.
Before & After Care School Child Day Care Pickup In-vehicle Shuttle Safety Cameras are transporting other peoples children where a much higher risk of liability exists.
Head Start Pre-K Pre-School Nursery School Child Safety Bus Camera Recorder systems is an application that involves young children who may have claims that are not factual, and the ability to document what actually occurred is of great help in “he said, she said,” claims.
What can be done to make forklifts safer?
Like forklift-related vehicle allocations, there is another application of an industrial service vehicle that is driver-operated with no passengers. In the past, this vehicle has greatly benefitted from the addition of a driver monitoring and safety camera that documents its service and operations.
The Distribution Warehouse Shunt Truck Tractor-trailer Switcher 5th Wheel King Pin Camera system that is attached to the warehouse shunt truck provodeds both a visual verification tool for the yard jockey as well as providing a sequential video log of all terminal tractor trailer moves in case any of them require review in case of an accident of incident.
The Terminal Tractor Yard Jockey Trailer Swapper Camera Recorder offers a live view of the status of the 5th Wheel and Kingpin so the driver can easily see a high mount or jaws not locked before they start the operation of moving the trailer in the yard.
The addition of a Forklift HD Industrial Operator Safety Camera System can document the events and activities of the operator on the vehicle, and when problems arise, they can be viewed and reviewed to determine what the root cause of the problem is and how to prevent them in the future.
Management oversight requires a mechanism to permit review of the actions that may have contributed to the injury or property damage.
“He said, she said” is not a reliable record of testimony and is often dismissed in court as subjective views and opinions of what actually happened are often inaccurate and wide-ranging from person to person.
