What safety measures should be installed to prevent the forklift from hitting the equipment?

Fence is one of the most common safety anti-collision devices for forklift trucks. They are usually installed around or behind the forklift to separate pedestrians from the forklift. The fence is made of solid metal or plastic material, which has the characteristics of protection and guardrail. When the forklift approaches pedestrians or equipment, the fence will be used as a barrier to prevent collision. The design of the fence should meet the safety requirements and ensure easy installation and maintenance.

2. Alarm signal lamp

Forklift warning light is a kind of safety anti-collision device, which reminds pedestrians and other vehicles to pay attention to the existence of forklift by projecting bright warning beams. These warning lights are usually installed on the side or ceiling of forklift trucks and use red, blue or yellow light to warn people around them. High-brightness warning lights can quickly attract attention, thus reducing the possibility of accidental collision.

3. Ultrasonic sensor

Ultrasonic sensor is an active sensing device, which detects obstacles in the surrounding environment by emitting ultrasonic waves. When the forklift is close to pedestrians or other equipment, the sensor will detect obstacles and send out sound or warning signals to remind the forklift operator to stop or avoid in time. The advantage of ultrasonic sensor lies in its accurate detection ability and fast response speed, which makes it an important part of forklift safety anti-collision device.

4. Rear-view camera

The rear view camera provides real-time images of the rear of the forklift through the camera installed at the rear of the forklift. The device can help forklift operators to observe the situation behind the forklift, especially when reversing, which can effectively avoid collision accidents. Some advanced rear-view cameras are equipped with display screens, so the operator can clearly see the situation behind the forklift. The installation of rear view camera can greatly improve the safety of forklift and reduce the risk of collision with pedestrians or equipment.
