A hooklift truck utilizes a hydraulic system for loading and unloading a demountable container. Once the container is correctly positioned on the vehicle’s load bed, interlock bolts engage with its base, locking it into position. Rugged sensor systems detect the position of the container prior to activating the locking mechanism, ensuring the bolts will engage correctly; sensors must be mechanically robust and withstand harsh outdoors conditions.
Customer values:
- Elimination of human error prevents interlock operating until container is correctly loaded
- Highly reliable sensing performance in highly demanding conditions
- Corrosion-resistant sensors withstand water, ice, mud and salt
- Highly cost-effective solution to a potentially serious problem
Specific Product Advantages :
- Single-piece AISI 303 (V2A) stainless-steel construction
- Rugged, hermetically sealed embeddable sensors
- High resistance to harsh operating conditions
