Queensland Rail choose LSM SafetyViewDetect® solution for their large Fork Truck
Queensland Rail has taken delivery of their first LSM SafetyViewDetect® Camera / Proximity Detection Solution for one of their large Linde H70 Counterbalance Forklifts which is used to handle the Rolling Stock Axles in their storage facility.
PROBLEM: The Operator had poor vision and "blind spots", especially at the fork carriage, which caused problems in aligning the Rolling Stock Axles sets in the racking. An incident occurred where one of the axles shifted inadvertently and jammed between the racking and the warehouse wall. This cost significantly to remove the jammed axles set, as well as created a potential safety issue.
SOLUTION: LSM Technologies provide a robust single LSM SafetyViewDetect® Camera / Proximity Detection Solution, mounted on the fork carriage so as the Operator can view the Axles at any height and assist placement of these heavy Axles sets accurately in their racking.
