With reduced chances of accidents, these advanced systems are a crucial step towards safer warehouse operations.

Camera position

They can either be mounted on each side of the pickup forks or in between the fork depending on the usage of the lift. If you have slung the camera between the jaws of the forks, it should be positioned so the fork doesn't damage the camera.

The camera shouldn't come between the fork and the floor while unloading. The cameras can be attached by drilling into the forks or using industrial glue to hold them in place.

There is the option of positioning the camera under the fork, which will give the driver a view of other equipment parts and reduce repeated loading and unloading.

Position of Screen

The monitor screen is placed in all vehicles the same independent of the type of camera being used. The entirety of the screen should be visible to the operator/driver during the tasks. If a driver has a particular preference where they would rather look up at the screen than down, that's where the screen should be placed.

Purpose of Solutions

The intent behind installing Forklift cameras is safety. This is done by improving your visibility so you feel more in control of the machine.

You can have high-sensor alarms installed that warn you of any risky move while operating the machine. Some of these cameras can see as far as 50-60m.

Some added features include wireless operations and a waterproof build. Forklifts can also add a speed limiter since these machines are meant to be driven at a certain speed limit.

This will make it easier to control and manage the risk of running someone over. Alarms can prevent these accidents from happening by sounding before they occur to alert the driver.

Importance of Forklift Camera solutions

1. The drivers can be protected from being legally liable since they would have footage of the incident in case of false claims. There is a limit of days-old footage we can view before it gets overwritten.

2. It keeps employees, pedestrians, vehicles, bicyclists and other products around the warehouse safe.

3. The use of a camera will limit the forklift blind spots by giving you visual access to all angles of the operation. You can see through narrow paths and loaded racks.

4. These cameras can also act as surveillance equipment that can detect any unwanted person from stealing or entering the warehouse.

5. The camera can be linked to alarm systems and auto braking mechanisms to alert the driver of any incoming damage or injury

6. While the forklift is carrying its maximum load, there is a wide area in front of the lift not be visible to the driver without a camera. This will help prevent accidents from lack of visibility even with different light settings.

7. The driver can benefit from the position of the monitor as they don't have to prop their necks up in an unnatural and uncomfortable position. This will relieve the stress and strain on the driver which is the main reason for reduced motor skills and efficiency.

8. The camera system can operate in different weather and temperature conditions thus ideal for working outside as well as inside a closed warehouse. Manufacturers are making the equipment more resistant to any environmental influences. This goes as far as making the equipment shock and waterproof.

9. A better view will lead to an increase in productivity which will save time and the driver will be able to complete more work within the designated time frame.

Different types of cameras can be used, and different mounting positions to choose from. This is influenced by the type of use of the forklift in the warehouse. Setting up these safety protocols can save the lives of your employees and save you from being liable in case things go south.

Forklift Camera System: Many businesses use advanced forklift cameras to enhance workplace safety. These sophisticated solutions offer real-time 360° vision of the area behind the forklift, improving operator awareness and preventing potential accidents. Several camera options are available for businesses, primarily the explosion-proof range of cameras to foster a safer work environment by eliminating blindspots for their workers through a centrally controlled safety system operated using a SIM card or Wi-Fi. 

Forkview Camera System: Forklift or reach-truck operators need a clear view to fetch the goods stacked at a height. This is where our fork view camera system comes in. With a wireless screen for seamless transmission, a monitor screen, a dynamic cable, a powerful battery, and water and dust-resistant glass, it is an ideal choice for the extreme temperatures of your warehouse or industry setting.

Forklift Wireless Camera System: A valued addition to forklift safety, the forklift wireless camera system is a comprehensive solution for monitoring the surroundings of the forklift. The system offers a wide range of features from automatic backlighting to recording, light control, reverse gear activated screen, and multi-image adjustment. Furthermore, with its powerful battery, TFT LCD digital wireless display, and wireless camera with IR, the product has emerged as a forklift must-have. 

Forklift Radar Blind Spot Detection System: If you manage an ATEX-z, Forklift Radar Blind Spot Detection System is a highly effective safety measure. The system is made of polycarbonate material and equipped with 24Ghz radar sensors, multiple detection modes, a multi-zone warning system, and a display unit - making it a tailored safety solution for high-temperature zones.

Warehouse Traffic Management System: Forklift safety cannot solely pivot around the operator's awareness of his surroundings. Installing warehouse traffic management system devices like bright LED lights, red spots, thumb levers, premium quality sensors, and warning alarms provides timely warnings to drivers and significantly reduces the risk of forklift-related mishaps.

Forklift Anti-Collision System: Besides the operator, your safety equipment must also factor in the safety of the pedestrians and the vehicle itself, particularly against the blind zones. That's where the forklift anti-collision system comes in. The system's radar comes with an ultrasonic probe that calculates the distance of the forklift from the nearest obstacle in a 3 meters radius. It then displays the visuals of the operator's LED screen and alerts the driver of blind spots, if any. In addition to providing enhanced safety and visibility for heavy machinery, the system is waterproof and an economical choice against accidental cover.

Forklift Speed Limiters: A leading cause of forklift fatalities is the overspeeding of heavy machinery. Forklift speed limiters allow the operators to set the speed limit of the forklift from 6-30 km/hr using a manual mode or a remote control. As an additional layer of safety, the customizable warning alarm alerts the operator of overspeeding. These speed limiters have a three-fold advantage for your business - improved road safety, increased fuel efficiency, and reduced carbon emissions.
