We at Thomas Conveyor & Equipment offer a full range of material handling systems that are used in both manufacturing plants and warehouse & distribution centers alike. We know that collision awareness is vital to the safety of the workers at your operation.
Collisions have a measureable impact on the costs associated with employee safety, health and overall job satisfaction. Vehicle and equipment repair and replacement, loss or damage of inventory, and loss time accidents go straight to your bottom line.
Recently, a medium sized manufacturing and distribution facility asked Thomas Conveyor & Equipment to come in and look at a few areas in their facility that had experienced some “near” misses involving forklifts and employees. The target locations that are most typically involved in near-misses and collisions include blind corners, intersections, employee doors that open directly into the manufacturing/distribution areas, loading docks and overhead doors.
After conferring with the Safety, Plant & Warehouse Managers and forklift drivers we targeted a few specific areas that would benefit from a collision awareness sensor warning systems. We were able to bring in a sample working model and show everyone exactly how the system would work.
The sensors alert forklift drivers and pedestrians of potential dangers around blind corners. Installation was simple, as it plugs into standard outlets. Ceiling units can be hung at any corner. Optional hard-wired universal transformers are available remote. These systems feature flashing lights as visual indicators, along with audible alarms, that alert your employees to potentially dangerous collisions before they occur.
Thomas Conveyor & Equipment can also provide a multitude of safety products including: drop-in/lift out guardrails, rack post protectors, mezzanine safety gates, building column protectors, machine guards and steel bollards.
