About Our Forklift Safety Products

Our forklift safety equipment products are vital for staying safe, especially with over 35% of all workplace fatalities due to vehicle collisions. These tools will help your team stay safe at work and avoid becoming part of the next statistic.

Any busy facility using forklifts should have a pedestrian detection system. Many of our forklift models actually already come with similar sensors, letting you (and your team) navigate hectic sites, though our tools make them even safer. These products can spot pedestrians eight (or more) metres away and flash up LEDs to warn drivers as they get closer. The system can also immediately slow down your trucks if a pedestrian gets within three metres of them.

These detection products rely on cameras that actively watch for near misses or other issues. Their cloud storage systems keep this for you, letting you address common forklift training issues across your whole team if necessary.

What are the must-have forklift safety products for warehouse operations?

Anyone using a forklift in a warehouse must have a pedestrian detection system. These help you or your team avoid collisions and drive with more peace of mind.

Beyond this, everyone driving a forklift should have adequate PPE. This includes high-vis clothing, steel-toed boots, hard hats, and other key protective gear.

What forklift safety equipment is required for OSHA compliance?

Your site is only Safe Work-compliant if your team uses high-vis workwear, other types of PPE, seatbelts, and the right lifting attachment for the job at hand.

Pedestrian detection systems aren’t a legal requirement—but they’ll ensure your team avoids accidents that could cause serious injury, or even cost a life

Which types of forklift safety barriers protect pedestrians and equipment?

You can install special guardrails, bollards, rack protectors, and more to stop your team from accidentally bumping into people or equipment while on the move. These barriers can even create special “paths” just for forklifts. Your drivers can then carry out their work knowing other team members won’t suddenly appear.

Do forklift backup alarms and sensors really reduce workplace accidents?

Absolutely. These sensors alert drivers to nearby objects and people. Even if they aren’t too close by, this encourages drivers to stay aware of their surroundings. However, for maximum protection, you need a special vision assist system. These use AI to spot people even when they’re over eight metres away.

How often should forklift safety products be inspected or replaced?

You or your team should inspect their PPE before every use—the same goes for each machine’s safety lights, sensors, and any other built-in protective devices. You must also check any external forklift safety products on the same schedule. In addition, these tools will require thorough monthly or quarterly maintenance.
