Why Adding Warning Lights to Your Forklifts Can Help Prevent Injuries

Each individual working in an environment where forklifts are present has likely gotten the same spiel regarding the hazards of this almighty machine. Repetitive this lesson may be, it is unquestionably one of the most important lessons you will learn.

It is crucial to realize that 40% of all forklift accidents involve pedestrians. On the bright side, with the awareness of your surroundings, and a little help from the Red-Zone Warning Light, you can avoid this.

The red zone warning light shows pedestrians a lit section to designate where they should and should not be standing. This section is called the Halo Zone. Once the light is attached to each side of your forklift, the lights are adjusted to expand the area you would like pedestrians to avoid.

Pairing the Red-Zone light with a blue forklift safety light or red spotlight increases operator and pedestrian awareness. Forklift operators will then have better visibility as they travel through narrow aisles and navigate turns. The combination will not only let pedestrians know the safety perimeters around your forklifts but will also alert other operators of your presence.

The best part? Installation only takes a few minutes and fits most makes and models.
