A Smarter clearance height alarm…
Height clearance bar alarm mounts on any height clearance bar. If the height bar alarm is disturbed by a strike from a forklift for example, a loud warbling buzzer sounds and LED light flashes for the time you choose.
Installation consists of just connecting the battery, then pushing then alarm onto the end of a pipe and leveling it using the bubble level built-in. When the unit is level, simply simply tighten the thumbscrew. That’s it! The most common bar we see is 2 inch PVC but we provide an adapter for smaller bars too. It may not be necessary to install a long horizontal bar at all if there is only a single point that needs protecting.
Battery life is easily 10 years as it consumes no power until alarming. You will probably never have to replace the battery.
BENEFITS OF A CLEARANCE ALARM
Damage to roll-up doors, air conditioners, low hanging things being struck by forklifts is common. This low clearance alarm solves this problem. And it provides safety for the forklift, and the forklift operator too! There are other height bars available that sell for over $1000! Why pay this for a fancy bar when all you really need is the alarm?
