CATERPILLAR FORKLIFT SEAT BELTS

Seat Belts are key safety features of any forklift. Overlooking this can bring about death. Its prime aim is to enhance survival chances of forklift operators during forklift tipping over. If the forklift begins tipping, operators would naturally jump out; leading to getting crushed by the forklift weight. The seat belt keeps the operator intact if the forklift tips over.

Seat belts can be of various kinds: Sash, Belt-in-Seat (BIS), Lap, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 points. Sometimes, lap belts are also used. Frequent in airplanes, lap or 2 point belt holds the user by the waist. These are easy for wearing and adjusting. But as they are not the total safety measure in cars due to collision injuries, 3 point seat belts are must for automobiles. But due to low speed of forklifts, 2 point belts are adequate.

If the operator notices that the forklift seat belt is missing, he should immediately inform the manufacturer and get it restored to avoid hazards. The employer should be responsible to make sure that all employees maintain safety conditions, otherwise they should be penalized.

Caterpillar Forklift Seat belts are usually wear and tear resistant. However, the locking mechanism may become problematic for locking and unlocking which is another major safety concern. If the seat belt gets jammed and does not open easily, the operator may not save himself in time. In both cases, a complete restoration is necessary.
