Forklift safety system

The Fork-Alert warning system is an electronic early warning system designed for use where forklifts, cranes and other moving equipment are used.

The system monitors zones where these vital but inherently dangerous machines are being used, frequently reversing and with the operator's view obscured by its load, and alerts pedestrians that a moving machine is operating in their proximity.

The system can be configured to trigger flashing lights and audio alarms when a forklift is operating in a controlled zone such as a blind corner or a pedestrian area. It utilises an infrared signal that can't travel through walls, minimising false alarms and potential confusion. The detection zone is adjustable to suit the desired coverage area in differing situations.

The system is modular, enabling it to be configured for a variety of different applications.
