Training of forklift drivers in total safety

formazione carrellisti

Tamarri S.r.l. has developed a new, simple and cheap system for locking the vehicles in case of danger during courses dedicated to forklift drivers. Indeed, aspiring forklift drivers do not always have full mastery of the vehicles, in some cases they can pose a danger to themselves, people and property.

 

Forklift driver training: a solution by Tamarri

Tamarri S.r.l. has always been keen on safety, not only in warehouses, but also during all operator training. A small step for safety even at the delicate stage of training new operators.

That’s why we decided to develop a new protection system entirely dedicated to the phase of driving during forklift operator training courses.

Forklift Operator Training: The SS22 Kit

The SS22 kit consists of:

1 forklift device STS90A

1 STS89 push-button transmitter (remote control).

Taking inspiration from the dual pedals that are mandatory for driving school cars, we have implemented the features of devices already used for automatic vehicle slowdown by simply forcing the state of the ignition relay inside our STS90A using a remote control.

 

With a simple pressure of the button on the remote control it provides immediate action on the relay, which, if properly operated, can stop the vehicle in case of danger.

Distances are adjustable through free Android APP, as are all SafeTsystem series transmitters.

Tamarri, all the best for lift trucks! 😉

For Tamarri, security is smart!

Tamarri’s commitment to security within companies is clear. In this article, we decided to dedicate our usual appointment with readers to special onboard safety systems: cameras and bumpers. Thanks to our wide selection of onboard safety accessories for forklifts and automatic machines, we are able to guarantee the widest market coverage.

Watch the video about our safety systems 🙂

Why install a camera on the forklift?

Almost all warehouses and industrial maneuvering areas are considered to be the stage of speed, dynamism and productivity. Safety in the day-to-day maneuvering of equipment and personnel is therefore ESSENTIAL.

Camera systems are designed to increase the performance and safety in maneuvering forklifts and industrial vehicles.

Ease of maneuvering in trucks and speed makes these devices essential in order to complement and optimize safety in the working environment.

A wide range of cameras, from wide-focus cameras installed for safe and reliable reversing, to front fork cameras to minimize impacts during pallet loading and unloading maneuvers.

An extremely valuable support, easy to install thanks to the WiFi communication of video signals, visible on the large onboard monitor.

Magnetic bumpers

SS141

Our bumpers are resistant to aging and perfectly visible.

Available in various sizes, they find countless applications. They can be applied to a wide variety of  surfaces thanks to their practical fixing holes already prepared at the origin or by means of powerful magnets.

With our SS141 bumper kits, replacing a no longer suitable bumper for preventing, limiting or cushioning the damage of a collision becomes simple and economical. It can also be combined with the TA36216 integrated sensor system.

Assisted parking systems are among the most popular aftermarket accessories in the automotive and material handling markets. However, installation is often complex and tedious. Thanks to our TA36216 “do-it-yourself kit”, installation is quick and easy. The robust and reliable control unit can be conveniently installed anywhere on the vehicle.

With Tamarri, safety is not an option! 👌

2D laser scanners, be sure not to slam!

Automation and safety in warehouses are managed by various tools. For years, Tamarri has put safety at the center of its business, thanks to the safety first paradigm! Today we want to introduce you to a truly cutting-edge product: 2D LiDAR sensors (also 2D laser scanners) suitable for surface measurement and detection functions.

How the 2D laser scanner works

Based on the principle of light propagation time measurement, compact devices scan the surrounding environment and measure distances. Thanks to the integrated rotating mirror, a two-dimensional monitoring of protected areas is generated, which are individually definable.

The new sensor-based, rear collision avoidance system of the latest generation is enclosed in a very strong 5mm-thick metal stand easy to install even on the ballast of the truck.

Our SS61K kit consists of:

– 2D LiDAR sensor with mounting bracket

– 12-24vDC relay box

– Led lamp with buzzer

– Connection cables

Regardless of the angle at which they are placed, SICK’s 2D LiDAR sensors always work reliably and accurately, both indoors and outdoors. For navigation, surveying or measurement, 2D LiDAR sensors provide reliable measurement data in numerous applications: from warehouses to manufacturing and from port areas to construction sites.

 

Two different intercept areas can be set, each managed by a separate digital output, adjustable in scan amplitude from 0 to 120°, in obstacle detection distance from 20/800cm.

The sensor performs a two-dimensional “2D” scan and detects both people and stationery or moving obstacles with an accuracy of 5 cm, with an almost immmediate responsiveness to the obstacle on the outputs.  However, it is necessary to define the mounting position of the sensor on the vehicle, with special attention to ‘height, depending on the use needed by the customer.

Warehouse operation

The most common application of the sensor is on the rear ballast of the truck at about 40 cm height, so that the sensor is able to intercept even obstacles on the ground.

Settings of two different detection areas:

– Area 1, with 120° scan depth 6..7m first slowdown (orange area);

– Area 2, again scanning at 120° depth 2..3m second slowdown (green area).

The two digital outputs coming from the sensor are sent to the relay board ( 3 relays CO.NC.NA ) to which the supplied led lamp is connected, which transmits the danger status to the operator in the form of color and acoustic signal; in addition, it is possible to configure the slowing down of the vehicle.

No obstacle, green light and no acoustic signal

– Obstacle in area 1, orange light with intermittent acoustic signal

– Obstacle in area 2, orange light with continuous acoustic signal

 

In some applications, the lamp is used as the only hazard warning, without intervening in the slowing down of the vehicle, making it easier and faster to apply the kit.

SICK safety laser scanners combine know-how and experience with excellent performance.

Tamars, automation and safety! 😉

STS Anti-collision system by Tamarri

The anti-collision system is a platform that aims to improve the safety of the logistics sector on handling vehicles, from the warehouse to the construction site.

STS Anti-collision system allows the recognition of the driver, the location of a pedestrian or other moving vehicle near the forklift and the slowing of vehicles within specific areas.
