\"Driver<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Employee protection policies help improve a company\u2019s performance.<\/p>\n

When the first workplace safety systems and tools are implemented, new necessities related to these changes emerge. That’s why it\u2019s when it comes to occupational health and safety it\u2019s so important to be in a constant state of evolution – to keep up to date with the changes in the field and to improve the conditions of our employees.<\/p>\n

At Claitec, we believe in continuous innovation. And that\u2019s why we constantly update our knowledge of technology – to implement improvements in our range of products and services.\u00a0After observing a number of opportunities to better the driver\u2019s inhibitor, we decided that it was necessary to implement some changes.\u00a0Today, we are thrilled to report that after these modifications, \u00a0we have received very positive reviews and customer ratings in the United States and England, among other countries.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What\u2019s the purpose of the Inhibitor?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Most businesses tend to have more than one truck. At sites where companies care about the protection of their workers, these carry a protective tag known as T-10 which, is part of an efficient Pedestrian Alert System. But what about the truck\u2019s driver? Doesn\u2019t this protection tag conflict with the detection system?<\/p>\n

Here is precisely where the Inhibitor comes in.<\/p>\n

The inhibitor is simply a space where forklift drivers are able to leave their protection tags so that these are not detected by other systems. This allows them to drive the truck safely, while the Pedestrian Alert System is activated. In addition, they can leave it aside and perform picking operations or control of goods with the assurance that the\u00a0<\/span>Pedestrian Alert System<\/a>\u00a0will protect them at all times.<\/p>\n

Similarly, the driver\u2019s inhibitor also ensures the proper functioning of the Anti-collision System, as drivers are able to operate the truck without the interruption of the\u00a0PAS solution<\/a>,\u00a0allowing the anti-collision system to run properly.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Improvements in the Inhibitor<\/strong><\/p>\n

When Claitec produced the first versions of the Inhibitor, our customers welcomed the added value it brought to their operation. However, given their constant exposure to shocks and falls and their potential for breakage, we found out there was room to improve its resistance levels.<\/p>\n

In addition, we learnt from other customers there were other areas the Inhibitor could also improve on. For example, the product was somewhat limited in the sense that only if placed in certain location, was it able to work properly. Some operators placed it upside down and caused the inhibitor to be unable to fulfill its functions.<\/p>\n

Thanks to the feedback and support from our customers, we redesigned the product, and we are thrilled with our customers\u2019 positive feedback. Firstly, we\u2019ve changed its design so that it works when the protection tag is placed in any position. We\u2019ve maintained the double-sided adhesive in order to facilitate the attachment of the product.<\/p>\n

The new version is made of steel, which virtually eliminates the problem of resistance that our customers had observed with the previous model. In addition, it is now possible to attach the inhibitor with screws, which greatly increases its durability and shock resistance.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We have already tested the new inhibitor. A very, very, very good design.<\/p>\n
