Low-light conditions or tricky warehouse layouts can produce hazards for workers on the floor. The appropriate forklift lighting options can help maximize visibility and reduce the chances of collisions with other mobile equipment, racking and other warehouse or tractor-trailer infrastructure, objects and pedestrians.
Strobe lights
Provides bright flashes to help alert pedestrians of the lift truck's presence. Strobe lights for warehouse safety can be a good alternative to audible alarms in noisy areas.
Brake or tail lights
Makes the forklift visible from the rear, signaling its presence and indicating braking to pedestrians and other trucks, especially in congested or dimly lit environments.
Curtain lights
Projects a red beam of light onto the floor that surrounds the forklift. These red zone lights for pedestrian awareness remind personnel to stay outside of the curtain area.
Spot lights
Casts a blue light out in front or behind a lift truck, indicating the truck's direction of travel to other operators and pedestrians. Especially useful around corners and in congested spaces with poor visibility.
Mast lights
Illuminates the mast, forks and load, improving visibility and enabling precise placement, especially when picking or retrieving loads at height, in narrow aisles or other tight, dark spaces like tractor-trailers.
Work lights
Provides supplemental lighting for poorly-lit areas or outdoor nighttime operation. Can also include rear work lights that are reverse travel activated, as well as dome or reading lights for inside the operator compartment.
