In the busy and dynamic environment of warehouses and distribution centres, safety is our top priority. Forklifts are essential for moving heavy loads, but they also pose significant safety risks. At Stoneridge, we offer advanced camera systems for forklifts to effectively mitigate these risks. In this blog post, we show how our technologies contribute to a safer working environment in warehouses and distribution centres.
One of the biggest challenges for forklift operators is limited visibility, especially when moving loads at height or manoeuvring in tight spaces. Our forklift camera systems, such as ForkView, RearView, Mid-mast View and RadarEye, provide a solution by giving drivers a clear view of their surroundings and load. These systems improve visibility at critical points such as the forks and the area behind the truck, significantly reducing the risk of collisions and accidents.
The ForkView system helps drivers position the forks accurately, allowing loads to be moved more safely and efficiently. This not only reduces the risk of damage to goods and racking, but also prevents dangerous situations that can arise from misplaced loads. This allows our drivers to perform their work faster and safer without compromising on safety.
The RearView camera provides operators with a clear view of the area behind the forklift, which is essential in busy warehouses where rear visibility is often limited. This enhanced visibility helps to prevent collisions, significantly increasing the safety of both our drivers and pedestrians.
Our Mid-Mast View system is designed to provide visibility of the area directly below the forks while lifting loads at higher heights. Especially suitable for reach trucks, this system ensures that loads can be accurately positioned without causing damage, significantly improving safety at higher heights.
The RadarEye system, an advanced detection system, alerts drivers to obstacles and people in the lift truck's blind spots. This system uses radar to detect objects and provide visual or audible warnings, helping to prevent accidents in crowded and confined spaces.
Besides improving safety, our forklift camera systems also contribute to the well-being of your drivers. Thanks to our systems, drivers no longer have to turn their heads and necks in uncomfortable positions to get a good view of their load and surroundings. This reduces physical discomfort and helps maintain concentration, further reducing the risk of accidents.
Our cameras enable drivers to adopt a more ergonomic working posture. This not only increases their comfort, but also contributes to a safer working environment by reducing fatigue and physical strain. Systems such as the Mid-Mast View specifically help improve visibility at higher levels, allowing your forklift operators to work not only more safely but also, more importantly, more accurately.
Another key benefit of our forklift camera systems is the increase in efficiency and productivity. By giving drivers a better view of their surroundings, tasks such as loading and unloading pallets can be completed faster and with fewer errors. This leads to less damage to goods and a reduction in downtime due to accidents.
Improved visibility also allows forklifts to navigate more safely and quickly through busy warehouses, improving goods flow and increasing productivity without compromising safety. Thus, companies benefit from more efficient operations and lower costs through reduced damage and incidents.
