| New tilt indicators for lift & construction equipment from Rieker  Rieker introduces one of its products that continues to set the bar for early warning devices is the 1017 "ball-in-tube" inclinometer. Available with customer specified color warning zones, these inclinometers greatly improve the vehicle operator's ability to detect dangerous roll over situations before equipment damage or injury can happen. The 1017 is typically mounted in the operator cab of an off-road forklift (or material handerl) in a clear line of sight to help operators identify when they are transcending too great a slope for the equipment in an effort to prevent a 'tip over' (or side to side roll over).1017's are also mounted on the rear of a bucket/utility truck or fire aerial ladder rig in order to determine platform level prior to raising the boom. These MIL SPEC instruments are painted with customer specified color warning zones to quickly identify the recommended safety limits for tilt set forth by the Original Equipment Manufacturer. Rieker Instrument Company, Inc. is a leading manufacturer of accurate, rugged, weatherproof inclinometers and tilt indicating instruments, since 1917. write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Construction News :: home page |
