Question 1

Why is an anti-collision system needed?

Accepted Answer

Forklifts cause a significant number of accidents wherever they are operated. Anti-collision systems minimise these accidents, making the workplace safer. There might be a lot of instances at your workplace when forklift mishaps occur while carrying out day-to-day operations. Pedestrians crossing paths with operational forklifts is common in warehouses and distribution centres. Anti-collision systems help you prevent it by sending warnings to operators when they detect massive objects or any worker in proximity. These systems also slow the speed or stop the forklift automatically if required. Overall, you need an anti-collision system to minimise forklift mishaps at your workplace and the crew accountable for maintaining safety.

Question 2

How Bird Eye view 360-degree camera helps to avoid forklift accidents?

Accepted Answer

Bird Eye View 360-degree camera system aids in preventing forklift accidents by providing operators with a comprehensive view of their surroundings. This technology eliminates blind spots, allowing operators to detect obstacles, pedestrians. With a clearer perspective of the environment, operators can maneuver safely, avoid collisions, and make informed decisions, significantly reducing the risk of accidents and enhancing overall workplace safety.

Question 3

How does 360 degree bird eye view camera work?

Accepted Answer

A 360-degree bird's eye view camera system typically employs multiple cameras strategically placed around a forklift. These cameras capture images simultaneously, which are then processed and stitched together to create a composite, 360 degree panoramic view. This comprehensive view helps drivers be aware of their surroundings, enhancing overall safety and convenience.

Question 4

What sensors are used for blind spot detection?

Accepted Answer

We use a programmable RODS-M sensor for accurate blind spot detection. With the help of this sensor, our forklift blind spot detection system allows multiple detection modes and different detection zone sizes. Our safety solution includes a power status LED, CDS sensor, and volume buttons for adjusting volume levels, providing enhanced functionality. Hence, the blind spot detection system from Sharp Eagle helps prevent forklift accidents and elevates workplace safety.

Question 5

What are the blind spots on a forklift?

Accepted Answer

Blind spots restrict the vision of forklift operators, making it hard for them to see obstacles or objects in the path of the forklift. When the forklift operator carries the load, the front area is a blind spot for them. Other blind spots include corners around the forklift, intersections, drive-in points, and areas around doorways and crossings. Such blind spots become the cause of forklift mishaps and sometimes cause fatalities. You can use blind spot detection systems with sensors and cameras to tackle this safety issue and reduce the chances of accidents. The system detects blind spots and allows the operators to complete the operations efficiently.

Question 6

Which radar is used in blind spot detection?

Accepted Answer

The blind spot detection safety solution from SharpEagle uses a 24GHz radar sensor. This specialised sensor quickly spots objects and people nearby, alerting the forklift operator promptly. The radar sensor provides you with efficiency, allows various detection modes, and enables rapid response time. You don't have to worry about durability as it performs well in extreme temperatures and challenging industrial environments like yours. It results in advanced blind spot detection, minimises forklift mishaps, saves workers' lives, and reduces write-offs.

Question 7

What is the OSHA standard for forklifts?

Accepted Answer

OSHA standards for forklifts are safety requirements and guidelines issued by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration that you must adhere to maintain safety compliance at your workplace. Under the industrial trucks standard found in 29 CFR 1910.178, the operators must undergo mandatory training for forklift operations. It also contains detailed guidelines about the design and maintenance of forklifts. OSHA also mandates using forklift safety lights such as headlights and tail/brake lights to provide maximum safety when operating in low-light and high-traffic environments.

Question 8

How does the anti-collision system work?

Accepted Answer

Forklift anti-collision systems enhance safety and accountability at the workplace in many ways. It works by actively monitoring the forklift's surroundings, detecting pedestrians or obstacles in its path. When the system detects these pedestrians or obstructions, it issues a timely alert to the operator and, if necessary, automatically stops the forklift to prevent accidents. The system also helps you keep a check on forklift damages to ensure accountability in the work crew. While using this system, operators have to enter a PIN or scan a badge before use, initiating an electronic checklist for forklift inspection. The system alerts if skipped or failed. In case of impact, details are recorded, with optional image capture. For more questions or queries about the ideal anti-collision system for your warehouse, contact our experts today.

Question 9

How forklift safety solutions can help in safety checks?

Accepted Answer

During their day-to-day operations, manufacturing units or warehouses where forklifts operate are busy with pedestrians and work crew. Often in this scenario, forklift operators are unable to see them. It is also very common for workers to bump into forklifts at intersections because they cannot see it coming. Forklift safety solutions help prevent such accidents. The technology includes sensors, cameras, automated speed control, etc., alerting operators and minimising the risk of accidents and collisions.

Question 10

What is the safety technology for forklifts?

Accepted Answer

Complete forklift safety solutions include a forklift camera system, anti-collision system, blind spot detection system, and more. These systems involve cameras, sensors, forklift safety lights, and automated speed control technology. The sensors and cameras alert the operator about the presence of pedestrians, which the operator would not be able to detect otherwise. Then, speed control and braking systems allow operators to reduce the speed automatically when proximity sensors detect objects or other workers near the forklift. Forklift safety lights further make forklift operations safer by assisting operators in blind spot detection and alerting pedestrians about forklifts in operations alike. All these technologies work together to create a safer environment for everyone in the workplace.
