for forklift trucks

Designed for easy integration and lasting success the system utilizes industry leading 16 G notification on the accelerometer with units of 0.5 to properly capture the weight per unit mass sensitivity of all applications.

The IM3 is designed to provide wireless RF notifications of events as they happen and deliver them through emails that can be accessed on PDA devices, keeping management connected and informed regardless of location or proximity to equipment. In addition the IM3 provides reporting options that include event select automatic sends, daily, weekly or monthly. Also unique to the Defender IM series is the two-tier safety notification design that allows for companies to give warning thresholds to drivers in advance, providing a tool to eliminate damage or un-safe situations before they happen. The system is easily installed in 1 to 1.5 hours and connects to any lift truck. Once installed, a simple setup process includes programming operator IDs and setting the accelerometer to acknowledge the damage threshold of a specific application. The system is designed to be fully supportable by the end user to allow for complete versatility in any application fast and with little effort.
