Safety devices for powered pedestrian trucks
23 March 2018
The ACKPad and ACKBelt are cost effective and easily fitted safety devices developed by Weston Handling Consultancy to help improve the safety of most powered pedestrian trucks.

According to the company, fitting ACKPads and ACKBelts to fast moving powered trucks is an easy way of installing cost effective safety features that can instantly boost protection for the operator and for plant and equipment, giving a faster payback.
Fitting around the base of your powered pedestrian trucks, the devices connect directly to a tiller arm 'Anti-Crush Stomach Button'. This is said to increase the detection area of an impact by, typically, more than 800%.
ACKPads can be moulded to the shape of a truck; ACKBelt allows quick and easy fitting to almost any shape, following its form. ACKBelts can be retrofitted to most makes and models of trucks.
