Red rear reflector for Demag AC80-1

The red rear reflector, part number 551 256 40, is a safety component installed on the Demag AC80-1 all-terrain crane. Its function is to reflect light from external sources, such as vehicle headlights, to improve the visibility of the machinery in low-light environments, at night, or in areas with restricted visibility. By making the crane more perceptible to other operators and personnel on the job site, this component assists in maintaining safety standards during operation.

This reflector is specifically designed for the Demag AC80-1 model. It is mounted on the rear section of the crane to ensure that the machine is easily identified by traffic and workers in the vicinity. Proper maintenance and timely replacement of reflectors are necessary to ensure the crane remains compliant with visibility requirements for heavy equipment operating in industrial or public areas.

Reflectors are passive safety devices used on heavy machinery to provide visual warning signals. By returning incident light toward the source, they ensure that the outline and presence of the equipment are clear to others, which helps in preventing accidents in busy work zones or on public roads.
