Rugged, accurate visual rollover warning for lift and construction equipment from Rieker.
Rieker Inc designs and manufacturers "ball-in-tube" curved liquid filled vial inclinometers using precise glass tube and ball construction with engraved markings and customer specified color warning zones.
All our tubes are filled with a special damping fluid that controls the movement of the ball, providing the industry's best roll for smooth accurate readings.
The ball will not stick or hold up like some lesser imitations - providing inaccurate tilt readings would be a serious safety hazard .
The fluid combined with large, clear number and degree markings make it easy to get quick, accurate readings under a wide variety of severe environmental conditions.
One of our "ball-in-tube" models that continues to set the bar for early warning devices is the 1017.
It provides +/-10 range with degree markings in 2 or more precise 1 increments.
Available with up to 3 color warning zones (Green (G0)/Yellow (Warning) /Red (No Go)) these inclinometers greatly improve the vehicle operator's ability to detect dangerous roll over situations before equipment damage or injury can happen.
The 1017 is typically mounted in the operator cab of an off-road forklift (or material hander) in a clear line of sight - this quickly helps operators identify when they are transcending too great a slope for the equipment in an effort to prevent a 'tip over' (or side to side roll over).
1017's are also mounted on the rear of bucket/utility trucks or aerial ladder rigs in order to determine platform level prior to raising the boom.
These MIL SPEC instruments are painted with customer specified color warning zones to quickly identify the recommended safety limits for tilt set forth by the Original Equipment Manufacturer.
Commonly used on utility trucks, aerial lift trucks, fire/rescue vehicles, off-road fork lifts, crawler cranes, construction equipment, aircraft, boats, military and government vehicles for monitoring platform level, boom angle, and preventing tip-over.
The 1017 is a simple, cost effective way to comply OSHA, ANSI, and NFPA standards and/or regulations specifying the need for a visual angle indicator (inclinometer) on lift equipment.
