Forklift cameras are an indispensable addition to modern warehouse operations. They not only improve safety, but also increase efficiency and ergonomics for forklift operators. By installing advanced forklift cameras, companies can achieve significant benefits in terms of operational performance and cost savings
One of the main benefits of forklift cameras is the significant improvement in visibility around the forklift. Traditionally, forklift operators have to deal with multiple blind spots, especially when handling heavy or bulky loads. This limited visibility can lead to accidents and damage to goods or infrastructure. By installing forklift cameras, operators gain a clear view of their surroundings, significantly reducing the risk of collisions and incidents. For example, Stoneridge’s ForkView system provides a perfect view of the forklift's forks, allowing the operator to precisely position the tines and efficiently pick up pallets.
In addition to increasing safety, forklift cameras also contribute to higher productivity. With improved visibility of the forks and surroundings, operators can work faster and more accurately. The ForkView system enables operators to work twice as fast compared to working without a camera system, as they can immediately see whether the fork is correctly positioned. This leads to more efficient material handling and reduces the time required for loading and unloading.
Using forklift cameras also contributes to workplace ergonomics. Operators no longer need to twist into unnatural positions to get a view of their load or surroundings. Thanks to an ergonomically positioned monitor, they can work in a natural line of sight, reducing strain on neck and shoulder muscles. This decreases the risk of physical complaints and absenteeism, ultimately supporting higher productivity.
Damage to goods, racking systems, and the forklift itself can lead to significant expenses for businesses. Forklift cameras help prevent such damage by giving operators better visibility of their tasks. The View-on-Forks system from Stoneridge, for example, offers a clear view between the forks, allowing pallets to be picked up correctly the first time, thereby preventing damage to goods or shelving. By reducing damage and the associated costs, the investment in forklift cameras pays for itself over time.
There are various forklift cameras available, each designed for specific applications:
ForkView: Provides visibility of both the left and right fork, allowing the operator to position the fork accurately.
FrontView: Provides clear visibility of the area directly in front of the forklift, even when the view is obstructed by loads.
View-on-Forks: Enables real-time monitoring of the forks, helping with precise pallet handling.
Mid-Mast View: Provides visibility of the area below the forks when lifting at greater heights, ideal for reach trucks.
RearView: Gives a clear view of the space behind the forklift, essential for safe reversing.
RadarEye: An advanced detection system that warns operators of obstacles and people in the forklift's blind spots.
