DCV-TV 5: Solution Profiles
Yale’s Reliant operator-assist system is designed to improve safety by detecting a lift truck’s proximity to objects and people. A screen shows steering direction, lift height and weight, and the angle of the forks to help the operator avoid going beyond restricted parameters. It also suggests slowing down if the driver gets too close to an object. In addition, the system allows trucks to follow business rules, such as stopping at stop signs.
Another safety feature: To increase both safety and comfort, lasers detect the operator’s presence in the truck so that the driver doesn’t have to constantly press on a “dead man” pedal.
