In the rapidly growing industries of today, the workplace hazards have quatrippled. A report by OSHA reveals staggering 35,000 to 62,000 workplace injuries and an average of 87 deaths annually. The effect of such high casualties on daily operations and safety in a hazardous sector like supply chain and warehousing is manifold:
Warehouses and Supply chains are highly operational areas that require efficiency and safety solutions to protect the workers and the company from such direct and indirect business casualties. Forklift Safety Solutions have thus become an indispensable measure to uphold safety standards at industrial sites and ensure maximum safety.
In this article, we will look at some of the forklift safety solutions that warehouses can incorporate to serve various safety functions:
Owing to the size of a forklift, complete visual access without technological aid is challenging to achieve for any operator. The forklift camera system helps operators get a comprehensive view and operate the forklift cautiously. These cameras can be installed on the front, back, or sideways according to the operator’s requirement to enhance visibility.
The different types of Forklift Camera Systems are:
Engineered for consistent performance and high-quality pictures, the Forklift Non-Explosion Proof Camera System has four 360-degree vision cameras and comes with an MDVR, LCD screen, and full-proof wiring.
This camera can be controlled through a SIM card or WiFi and is compact for easy installation. This model significantly increases warehouse employees’ safety, helping operators ensure smooth operation.
This camera is uniquely designed for withstanding high temperatures in explosive areas from -30 degrees to +70 degrees. ATEX-certified and appropriate for usage in zones 1, 2, 21, and 22, the Forklift Explosion Proof Camera has been robustly designed for maximum security and safety.
The encasing of the camera keeps sparks from coming into contact with the environment. It is equipped with an infrared IR LED for visibility above 15 meters. Operational with a SIM card or WiFi, this camera is the ultimate safety solution for forklift operators.
Suitable for forklift operators who are required to reach high levels, the Forkview Camera System comes with a water and dust-proof monitor, a camera, and a cable for accurate positioning of goods.
Equipped for working in high temperatures ranging from -20 degrees Celsius to +70 degrees Celsius, this system offers a viewing angle of 45 degrees and a line of sight of 50 meters. The camera can be installed on the fork of the forklift to provide the operator with a clear real-time vision and safely transport goods.
A one-stop solution to make forklift operations much safer and more efficient, the Forklift Wireless Camera System is equipped with features such as recording, light controls, and automatic backlighting. The product can show reverse gear-activated screen footage in real-time and has multi-image adjustment options.
Forklift cameras should have high battery backup and work round the clock for continued assistance. The forklift wireless system has a powerful battery of 8700mAH and IP69K certification.
The camera and an LCD provided with the system are wireless, and the camera is equipped with a Smart IR function to give a clear image at all distances.
Promoting increased safety levels in industrial zones and maximised control for the operator, the Forklift Anti-Collision System is a commendable safety solution for forklift operators. The system uses an ultrasonic probe to calculate the rear distance from any object and shows it to the operator on an LED screen.
This helps the operator understand the distance between the forklift and an object, reducing the chances of collisions or unfortunate accidents. This equipment is suitable for hazardous locations that contain heavy machinery. The operator is always alerted of the blind zone by the device and can rely on the system's technology to transport products with confidence.
Built with premium quality sensors to alert the operator about possible obstacles, the Warehouse Traffic Management System is a comprehensive safety tool for industrial areas. This system eliminates incidents from occurring drastically as the operator is continuously warned about his surroundings.
It is equipped with features such as a thumb lever, bright LED lights, red spotlights, warning alarms, and high-quality sensors to ensure warehouse traffic awareness. The system's high sensing capacity detects obstacles faster than the naked eye and helps the operator to drive with caution.
As discussed before, frequent damages caused by forklifts can cause increased insurance costs, penalties, and warehouse damages. The Forklift Safety Light System can provide improved visibility and help you reduce losses and boost productivity. SharpEagle has a wide range of forklift safety light systems that are equipped for hazardous areas:
This light is engineered for explosive areas such as Zone 1, 2, 21, & 22 to provide maximized visibility to forklift operators. Built with high-quality LED, Forklift ARC Safety Lights have silicon rubberized wear with double insulation that enables the lights to work in extreme temperatures.
The system is water, dust, and quake-proof, and the tempered glass protects it from external damage.
This light determines the fork position and helps the operator transport goods faster without any collateral damage. Forklift Laser Light has a laser wavelength of 100mw and 650 MW, respectively, which naturally increases the driver’s visibility, enabling him to get the work done efficiently.
Built robustly for hazardous locations with casting aluminium alloy housing for heat elimination, the Forklift Blue Spot Light system is an ingenious forklift safety lighting solution. Any pedestrian or vehicle approaching the forklift will be alerted to avoid any form of collision from happening.
It is 100% waterproof, quakeproof, and dustproof. Suitable for operating in extreme temperatures, the blue spotlight ensures safety in industrial areas with forklifts.
Engineered with the purpose of improving site safety and reducing accidents, the Forklift Blue Arrow Light offers blue light visual warnings to vehicles or pedestrians that are present behind reversing forklifts.
Tailor-made for high-risk areas to prevent sparks from causing ignition or coming in contact with the atmosphere, this system is encased with aluminium die-casting and has a stainless steel bracket and rubberized wire to function in both high and low temperatures.
Waterproof and dustproof, the Forklift Warning Light acts as a signal for moving forklifts to alert the other workers of the position of the forklift. Shielded with durable glass and aluminium alloy casting for heat reduction, the forklift warning light is an optimum solution for your daily forklift operations.
