Overview
What it is
EMP is a sensor mat built into the operator platform of an electrically driven vehicle. It works as a surface switch that reports whether the driver is standing on the platform.
What it is used for
Stopping a forklift or other industrial truck when the driver leaves the platform, preventing the vehicle from being driven from outside the operator position.
Key features
- Outline, dimensions, surface, thickness, hardness and cable outlets made to the vehicle.
- Additional colour-marked zones for foot-switch functions can be integrated.
- Soft surface that damps vibration for the driver and gives a non-slip footing.
- Cable ends fitted with the connector of your choice.
- Polyurethane construction with IP67 rating per the general mat data.
Buying considerations
EMP is a project product for vehicle builders and fleet retrofits. Supply the platform drawing, required zones, connector type and quantity.
Installation considerations
The mat replaces or covers the platform floor. Wire it into the vehicle control according to the vehicle manufacturer’s safety concept.
Compatibility
Designed for electrically driven industrial trucks; connector and wiring are specified per vehicle.
