Abstract
The warning light is lit when the tail-lift of a vehicle has been let down and the lift unit is not flat with the vehicle body floor. <IMAGE>
Description
T A I L - L I F T H A Z A R D L I G H T THE VITAL FACTOR IN DESIGNING THIS TAIL-LIFT HAZARD LIGHT IS FOR THE
SAFETY OF PERSONNEL.
WHEN LOADING OR UNLOADING WITH TAIL-LIFT BOARDS THERE WILL ALWAYS BE ONE
PERSON WHO WILL LET THE TAIL-BOARD DOWN WITHOUT TELLING THE DRIVER.
CONSEQUENTLY, WHEN THE DRIVER AND HIS COLLEAGUE ARE UNLOADING THEY NATURALLY
ASSUME THE TAIL-BOARD IS STILL UP IN LINE WITH THE TRUCK FLOOR.
THEY DO NOT LOOK BEHIND THEM TO CHECK IT IS STILL IN POSITION AND THEREFORE,
THEY MAY BOTH FALL OUT OF THE TRUCK WITH THE MACHINE OR EQUIPMENT FALLING
ON TOP OF THEM.
IF THIS SAFETY DEVICE IS FITTED IT WILL PREVENT NUMEROUS ACCIDENTS. IT WILL
LESSEN INSURANCE CLAIMS OF DAMAGED EQUIPMENT AND INJURED PERSONNEL.
