Aisle end safety device (o)
Trucks with the aisle end safety device brake before the aisle exit or in the transfer
aisle. There are two basic versions for this:
1. Braking to a halt
2. Braking to 2.5 km/h / 1.55 mph.
Other variants (affecting the subsequent travel speed, lift height etc.) are available.
1. Braking to a halt:
When the truck passes over the aisle end safety magnets heading for the aisle end,
it comes to a halt.
To continue traveling:
– Briefly release the foot switch and then apply it again
The truck can be driven out of the narrow aisle at max. 2.5 km/h / 1.55 mph.
2. Braking to 2.5 km/h / 1.55 mph:
When the truck passes over the aisle end safety magnets heading for the aisle end,
it brakes to 2.5 km/h / 1.55 mph and can be driven out of the narrow aisle at this
speed.
IMPORTANT In both cases the braking distance depends on the travel speed.
Qw W
Aisle end safety braking is an additional function designed to support the
operator, but which does not release him from his responsiblities, e.g. to
monitor braking at the aisle end and if necessary to apply the brakes.
