As winter approaches, it's important that your forklifts are fully equipped to handle the challenges of cold weather. ProEnclosures offers a range of accessories that not only optimize performance but also prepares your forklifts for the challenges seasonal changes bring. Equipping your forklifts with the right accessories can make all the difference in maintaining protection and productivity during the colder months.
Forklift Cover
One of the first accessories to consider is a forklift cover. By adding one of our roofs to your forklift you gain overhead protection from snow, ice, rain, falling cargo, and other debris.
We craft our forklift covers from polycarbonate due to its exceptional strength. Polycarbonate is 25 times stronger than acrylic and an incredible 250 times stronger than glass, making our roofs the ultimate choice for overhead protection.
Despite its strength, polycarbonate is completely transparent, ensuring that your view remains unobstructed. Plus, our roofs help to reduce noise entering your cab, creating a quieter, more comfortable work environment.
Each one of our forklift covers is designed for a custom fit to your specific forklift model, effectively keeping dust, snow, and rain out of your cab.
Forklift Windshields
Adding a front windshield is another important step in preparing for colder weather. A windshield keeps the wind, snow, and cold air out of the operator’s cab, maintaining cab comfort and keeping forklift operators focused during their shifts.
Alongside the front windshield, a rear windshield offers additional protection by shielding the operator from cold drafts, rain, snow, particularly when reversing.
Regardless if you’re working in the elements or in a busy warehouse, there are several reasons why you need a front or rear windshield while you're operating a forklift.
-
Protection from the elements
-
Protection from potential falling objects
-
Increases cab comfort
-
Eliminates dust swirl inside your cab when you have both a front and rear windshield
-
Offers great visibility and retains clarity for years.
Forklift Doors
Prepare your forklift for the cold weather by upgrading with a set of cab doors. While doors might not be the first accessory that comes to mind, they serve several essential purposes, especially during the colder months.
Increased Protection
In busy industrial environments, where moving machinery, falling objects, and other hazards are common, cab doors provide a crucial barrier. They protect the operator from these dangers, adding an extra layer of safety.
Comfort in the Elements
Cold weather can bring extreme temperatures, snow, wind, and even sleet. Cab doors shield the operator from these harsh elements, keeping the interior warm and comfortable, which in turn helps maintain productivity no matter the weather conditions.
Noise Reduction
Industrial settings can be noisy, especially with multiple forklifts operating simultaneously. Adding cab doors helps dampen the noise inside the cab, creating a quieter and more comfortable working environment.
Increased Security
In environments like warehouses or distribution centers, securing your equipment is important. Cab doors with locking mechanisms not only prevent unauthorized access to the forklift but also help protect valuable cargo and equipment from theft or tampering.
Overall, by installing cab doors, you’re not just preparing your forklift for winter—you’re enhancing safety, comfort, and security all year round.
Forklift Cab Heater
Another vital accessory is a forklift heater. Keeping the cab warm is not just about comfort—it's about making sure that your operators can perform their duties without the distraction of cold temperatures. A warm cab boosts productivity, even on the chilliest of days.
They come with the option to add a defrost kit to your heater for the best visibility.
And thanks to their clever design, installing these forklift doors to your machine will take a minimal amount of time. Everything you need for a quick installation is included in the kit.
Forklift Windshield Wiper Kit
Visibility is crucial for safe forklift operation, particularly in snow and rain.
ProEnclosures' windshield wiper kits are designed to keep the windshield clear of rain, snow, and debris.
Unlike some windshield wiper kits, this kit is easy to install and features durable wiper blades capable of efficiently clearing moisture and contaminants from your windshield
It's a small upgrade that gives you a big return.
Forklift Cab Enclosure
For those looking to offer the ultimate protection and comfort, a full cab enclosure is the way to go. This solution combines the roof, doors, front and rear windshields, heater, and wiper kit into one package, creating a warm, secure, and comfortable environment for your operators. With a full cab enclosure, your forklifts will be ready to tackle even the most challenging elements.
Prepare your forklifts now, and keep your business running smoothly all winter long!
