Common forklift safety systems
1. Pedestrian protection system
When the
forklift is driving, the pedestrian protection system can detect the surrounding environment through sensors and monitor the location of pedestrians in real time. Once a pedestrian is detected approaching, the system will send out a warning signal to alert the forklift driver and trigger emergency braking to ensure the safety of pedestrians in emergencies.
2. Zoned speed limits inside and outside the factory
In order to adapt to different working scenarios, the forklift safety system also includes a zone speed limit function inside and outside the factory. Through GPS and geofencing technology, the system can intelligently limit speeds based on the specific area where the vehicle is located, improving overall workplace safety.
3. Traffic control system for forklifts and pedestrians
The traffic control system uses intelligent lights and indicators to coordinate the movement of forklifts and pedestrians to reduce the risk of accidents. This system can effectively reduce conflicts on crossing paths and improve coordination between vehicles and pedestrians.
4. Forklift anti-collision system
The forklift anti-collision system uses sensor technologies such as radar and cameras to monitor obstacles and other vehicles around the forklift. Once a potential collision risk is detected, the system will automatically take measures, such as emergency braking or changing the driving direction, to prevent a collision.
5. Crossroad alarm device
In industrial sites, forklifts often need to cross intersections, which are often potentially dangerous areas. The intersection warning device reminds drivers of the existence of an intersection through sound, light or other means, reminding them to pay attention and pass with caution, reducing the probability of intersection accidents.
6.Visual Alert System
Visual alert systems provide forklift drivers with real-time surrounding information via a display or HUD (heads-up display), helping them better perceive conditions in the workplace. This helps reduce blind spots and improves driver awareness of potential risks.
7. Narrow aisle forklift safety
Forklifts traveling in narrow aisles generally face higher risks, so specialized narrow aisle forklift safety systems are particularly important. These systems use automatic navigation and positioning technology to ensure that forklifts can travel safely in narrow spaces and avoid collisions with walls or other obstacles.
