Explaining Forklift Strobe Lights


Safety lights are one of the most important types of forklift safety products. Safety lights can help alert workers of the proximity of a forklift when there is too much noise for them to hear a backup alarm. Lights are available in a variety of colors and types. All of these lights are specifically designed to attach to a forklift.

A forklift strobe light is an emergency or safety light that attaches to a forklift and visually warns pedestrians of the presence of the lift. Many strobes feature LED lights. They almost never have to be serviced and have a long life. The LED light lifespan is rated at 50,000 hours compared to 5,000 hours for a strobe using incandescent lights.

The light from the strobe illuminates the floor and moves along the floor in front or behind the forklift as the lift moves. Since the light moves only when the vehicle does, pedestrians can understand when the vehicle is stationary or moving.

There are only four colours available in these lights, they are, blue, red, green, and amber.
Forklift strobe lights are available in low and high profile with permanent, pipe or magnetic mounting. Styles include square work lights or square lamps. They are designed specifically to accommodate areas of the lift including left and right sides, rear and front.

A forklift strobe light kit comes with a light, power cord, and control box with an integral voltage regulator. The lights feature multi-voltage input from 12 volt DC to 48 Volt DC. The forklift strobe lights are battery powered as well.

Improving Warehouse Safety- How to Get the Safest Forklifts If you work or have ever worked in a large warehouse then you understand that the highest proportions of warehouses are usually caused either directly or indirectly by forklifts. Unfortunately it would be impossible to decide to simply do away with the forklifts and thereby eliminate the possibility of accidents since they are an integral part of the operations of any warehouse that is significantly large. So how can you improve warehouse safety in a place that has several forklifts operating at the same time and where there are blind spots that prevent people from seeing any forklifts approaching from the opposite side? The solution is to use a forklift arc light. Unlike the more traditional strobe lights that were commonly used in the past, an arc safety light allows people in the house to know about approaching forklifts much sooner and gives them enough time to get out of the way before an accident occ...

When forklifts operate at a workplace, there are other people also who work in close vicinity of the forklift; and a majority of the forklift accidents involve a pedestrian. It may e ven lead collisions, or foot injuries or even loss of human life when one comes in close contact with the machine. Here is when red zone forklift lights come into the picture. The red zone warning forklift lights can be installed on both sides of the forklift, marking an area beyond which no one is allowed to enter. The zone created through these red zone forklift lights is called the halo zone, or the no go zone. Usually, the halo zone or the no go zone is adjusted between two to five feet of distance from the forklift, but this can be customized. Obviously, the no go zone being wider for large forklift machines as compared to the small and regular forklifts. Not only sides, but the red zone forklift lights can be also mounted at the front, and rear end of the machine to mark the safety zo...

Forklift Parts Material handling is a hard nut to crack when talking in terms of warehouse management. Materials come in all sizes and shapes and since the placement is done vertically in warehouses, it is next to impossible for humans to do it manually. Machines are needed for this tough task. Forklifts serve as the best aid here! Forklifts are the small industrial vehicles usually trucks which help in lifting heavy material of all shapes and sizes. These are either run by batteries or by combustion engines and are quite mobile within the warehouses or big storage facilities. Understanding about the forklift parts will prove to be beneficial for the owner to efficiently and effectively use it. With the advancement of technology, these forklifts have also improved in terms of components being used like various types of sensors and LED lights are being used to avoid accidents. Some of the innovative forklift parts being used are: Arc lights are used to warn the pedestrian about...
