HOW FORKLIFT CAMERA SYSTEMS INCREASE YOUR WAREHOUSE SAFETY

Image
Wireless Forklift Camera Warehouse safety is the most worrisome factor which cannot be overlooked. Talking of safety in the warehouse, we mean the avoidance of mishaps and accidents caused by forklifts. Forklifts play a major role in uninterrupted functioning of warehouse services that lead to smooth channelization of your business.  Vision is the most challenging factor that forklift operators face. Forklift operators have a limited vision at the fork tips and behind the forklift truck. By installing a forklift camera system, this challenge can be overcome and safety is ensured. Forklift cameras help in eliminating blind spots that obstruct the operator’s vision and enable them to see a heavy load on the forks. They can easily have a view of pedestrians and thus prevent the collision. Since there are monitors with built-in continuous DVR recording in forklifts, operators can simply look at the camera display instead of turning or leaning out of the cab, which also he...

Forklift Strobe Light Safety is the first and foremost measure that every industrial company must ensure by creating a safe working environment. Every year many deaths are recorded which take place at a workplace.  Most of the deaths, injuries and mishaps are caused by forklifts in the warehouse or industrial sites. Forklifts are a backbone of many industries which are used every day in their warehouse. Forklifts are used for lifting and maneuvering heavy loads.

A strobe light can be installed in forklift easily and is very helpful in ...

5 Reasons to Use Safety Lights on Forklifts – Warehouse

Image
Forklift Safety Light Modern forklifts are now transitioning from traditional flashing strobes and beacon lights toward more efficient blue forklift safety light that projects beams onto the floor rather than flashing on the equipment itself. Flashing beacons do very little to warn about an approaching forklift, whereas blue LED safety spotlight for forklifts serve as true warning devices and systems as opposed to merely providing visibility enhancement for the heavy machine. If your warehouse is looking to improve equipment and employee safety onsite, there are even more reasons why you should use forklift blue light as opposed to flashing strobe lights: LED warning lights to project warning beams at the warehouse floor instead of flashing strobe lights at eye level, which is more distracting than anything for warehouse personnel. Floors, according to scientists are actually more visible, helping workers perceive movement more efficiently as oppo...

Strobe Lights versus Blue LED Safety Spotlights for Forklifts

Image
Strobe Lights versus Blue LED  For a long time in the past, workers in large warehouses were accustomed to blinking red strobe lights that were attached to the top of forklifts. These strobe lights were meant to serve as warning signs that let the people in the warehouse know that a forklift was approaching and that they should get out of the way especially when the forklifts were approaching from corners around which they were not easily visible. But the picture inside the modern warehouses has been changing drastically over the past few years thanks to the introduction of new forklift blue light safety. Instead of being mounted at the tops of forklifts, the blue LED safety lights project on the floor some distance ahead of the forklifts and are meant to serve the same purpose as the strobe lights and warn workers of approaching forklifts. So how do the two types of safety lights compare and why should you opt for the latter over the former? One of the bi...

Forklift safety light Forklifts are arguably the single most important piece of equipment in any given warehouse and its importance only increases as the size of the warehouse also continues to grow.

This underlines just how important the forklift has become in the workplace. But using forklifts is not entirely risk free and there exists serious risk of injury and damages if safety precautions are not in place when using the forklifts. There are many ways to increase forklift safety in the warehouse but the most effective ones include the following. Regular maintenance Make sure that the forklifts are always in proper working order by carrying out scheduled maintenance on a regular basis. You might not necessarily have to inspect the forklifts on a daily basis but a maintenance schedule that ensures they are inspected at least...
