Visibility of the deployed platform
[min. 1 compulsory]. Any platform
protruding beyond the extremities of the vehicle, MUST be clearly visible from
all approachable sides in daylight and at night. Check any applicable national
or local regulations, as these can be very strict on the application, size and
type of means used. The visibility of the platform can be optimized by:
1.
Reflective marking tape
applied to the sides of the platform [standard]
applied during installation]
2.
Platform flags
[option OAT020—023], mounted to the underside of the
platform, near the outboard platform edge
3.
Bi-directional
flashing platform lights
[option OAE200], mounted on the
platform surface, near the outboard platform edge
4.
Warning cones
(2 or 4) [widely available] placed around the work area
of the platform
5.
A combination of 2 or more of the above. The various means above have
variable efficiency depending on the direction of approach and the light
conditions (e.g. bright sunlight versus night darkness). DHOLLANDIA
strongly recommends a combination of 2 or 3 means to cover all
circumstances.
•
Safety rails
[optional]. Safety rails MUST be fitted in all applications where a
significant risk exists that the operator could fall off the platform and suffer
bodily injury. They are compulsory above 2m lifting height.
Safety rails may be purchased along with your tail lift at the initial order, or
may be purchased and retrofitted to your tail lift later. They are available in a
wide range of different executions to suit the particular needs of many
applications. Contact your national DHOLLANDIA dealer for further
information. See page 4 for contact info.
•
Decals
[standard]. The tail lifts are supplied with a number of operation
decals, load diagrams and safety decals, most of them to be applied to the
vehicle body during installation. These decals must be kept clean and legible
at all times, and replaced whenever required.
