Safety in warehouses and logistics centers is becoming a priority, which is why forklift manufacturers are intensively developing advanced systems to protect the operator and the surrounding area. Modern technologies such as proximity sensors, pedestrian detection systems, 360-degree cameras, and automatic speed limits in high-risk zones significantly reduce potential hazards. Load stability control systems, which automatically adjust operating parameters to the load’s weight and lifting height, are also becoming increasingly popular.
Intelligent telematics solutions are also becoming standard in many companies. They allow for monitoring operator driving style, recording incidents, and blocking the truck if an unauthorized person attempts to start it. Furthermore, these systems aid in service planning, minimizing the risk of breakdowns during operation. Investing in safety is not only a requirement but also a real benefit – fewer accidents mean less downtime, lower costs, and more efficient workflow. With the development of automation, we can expect that advanced safety systems will soon become an integral part of every modern forklift.
