SpeedBoss radar dolly

RU2 Systems Inc of Mesa has introduced a radar-controlled speed display to tell forklift operators how fast they are driving and whether they are within a designated limit.

The portable RU2 SpeedBoss dolly has a display with 12-inch- (30 cm) high light-emitting-diode characters and offers variable set points in 1-mile- (1.6-kilometre-) per-hour increments.

The SpeedBoss costs USD1,995, says Kenneth Brown, RU2 vice president of sales and marketing. "The whole focus of the product is warehouse and distribution center forklift safety."

RU2 showed a SpeedBoss prototype at the American Society of Safety Engineers exposition 24-26 June in Orlando, Florida.
