Usually, the rear indicator light of a forklift consists of a red brake light, a red side marker light, a yellow turn signal light, and a white reverse light. In order to meet the requirements of vehicle appearance, some newly produced forklifts only have two types of rear indicator lights: red and yellow, with only red brake lights, red side lights, and yellow turn signals, and white reverse lights removed.
The reverse indicator function is achieved by two rear work lights behind the driver's cab, which are the reverse lights during the day and the rear lights at night. This design is based on the fact that heavy-duty forklifts are commonly used for container loading and unloading in ports. Forklifts do not require rear work lights for daytime operation, and the rear work lights are precisely used as backup lights. At night, the light in the port is relatively dim, and the front and rear work lights must be turned on during forklift operation to ensure safety.

In addition, in order to facilitate the driver to see the working status of each switch clearly when working at night, indicator lights are installed on work light switch 9 and mode switching switch 1. When the headlight combination switch is in the width indicator position, both the front and rear width indicator lights of the forklift light up, and the indicator lights on the work light switch and mode switch are also constantly on.
