An overhead guard is a protective structure mounted above the operator's compartment of a forklift truck to shield against falling objects, such as loads or debris, during material handling operations.
Overhead guards may need to meet standards such as ISO 6055, OSHA, or ANSI. These standards specify performance requirements for impact resistance and visibility. Always verify compliance with the manufacturer.
Selection depends on the forklift model, operating environment, and required visibility. Key parameters include overall width, depth, height, load capacity, and impact resistance. Confirm these values with the forklift manufacturer.
Regularly inspect for cracks, deformation, or corrosion. Ensure that the guard is securely mounted and that visibility openings are clear. Replace if damaged or if it fails to meet safety standards.
