Forklift Back-Up Handle With Horn Button
Reduce forklift operator back strain / stress with the Forklift Back-Up Handle With Horn Button. If your operators are required to travel frequently in reverse and your forklift does not have a factory forklift back up handle with horn, then you may want to install this back up handle on your forklift. When traveling in reverse many operators tend to grab on the back right-side vertical overhead guard pillar.
It’s not a problem if the operator keeps the thumb and fingers inside the running lines of the truck, but more times than not the operator wraps his or her hand around the pillar. Wrapping their hand around the pillar could lead to crushed fingers or thumb.
Operators should be trained not to grab the pillar but many operators develop this habit. For those operators this handle offers the operator a safer place to hold on to. Also, it help those operators who may experience back stress/strain and this handle offers even 1 more benefit. This handle has a horn button on it. It can be wired into the forklift trucks factory horn.
Many forklift operators that travel in reverse like the horn button and tend to use the horn more often. Operators traveling in reverse without this back up handle have a difficult time activating the horn. Their left hand controls the steering and finding the horn can be a challenge. Some operators resort to crossing their arm across the steering wheel and relying on their forearm to activate the horn, while other operators don’t even attempt to use the horn.
These horns are easy to install with minimal tools and time.
The Benefits Include:
- Eases back stress when turning around
- Fits any truck
- Installs in minutes
- Keeps operators hand inside the operator compartment
