Ravas has launched SafeLoad, an active load diagram that alerts the forklift driver in case of unsafe lifting
RAVAS-SafeLoad is an aftermarket product for forklift trucks that provides both weight and stability information in a single combined display, acting as an active load diagram. Using measurements of weight, load centre point and mast tilt, the product judges whether a load is lifted safely in the current situation. When the lifting is unsafe, the RAVAS-SafeLoad cabin display alerts the driver with both audio and visual signals.
The product uses information from a hydraulic sensor and a set of sensors that measures the moment forces from the load centre position and mast tilt, to present stability information in the display. A LED bar below the weight display fluctuates from green (safe lifting), via yellow, to red (unsafe lifting). The LED bar stability indication is enhanced by the colour of the weight display (green backlight in safe situations, red backlight in unsafe situations), and by a fork in the weight display that is divided in three segments, one of them blinking to indicate the load centre position on the forks.
The RAVAS-SafeLoad can be retro-fitted on any make and model counterbalanced forklift truck.
