What is the Forklift Collision Detection System?

Forklift Collision Detection System

According to research, at least 8,500 people worldwide die each year due to forklift safety accidents, 349,000 people are severely injured, and 618,000 people suffer from minor injuries. The majority of fatal forklift accidents occur in the manufacturing industry, accounting for 42% of all forklift-related fatalities. This highlights the importance of forklift safety operations.

A forklift is a mobile material handling device. Its working environment and conditions are constantly changing. The safety of its operation depends on the operator’s immediate actions. Forklift environments are typically complex, and sometimes the operator and vehicle share the same space, which increases safety risks. Therefore, installing a forklift collision detection system is an essential task.

YUWEI Forklift Collision Detection System Features:

Forward Collision Warning System (FCW)

The FCW system is an advanced safety technology that tracks the speed of the vehicle, the speed of vehicles ahead, and the distance between them. If the vehicle gets too close to the one ahead due to the speed of the following vehicle, the FCW system will alert the driver of an impending collision.

Rear Collision Prevention System

This high-tech safety system detects oncoming vehicles when reversing. Using sensors placed at the rear of the vehicle, it helps prevent rear-end collisions while reversing, even in low visibility situations.

Lane Departure Warning System

This type of collision prevention system alerts the driver when the vehicle begins to deviate from its lane. It is particularly useful for real-time blind spot detection.

Pedestrian Detection System

Pedestrians are one of the most vulnerable targets in internal logistics, accounting for at least a quarter of all traffic accident fatalities. The pedestrian detection system uses sensors to detect human movement on the road, helping the driver spot moving objects before it’s too late.

Automatic Braking System (ABS)

ABS is a braking system that activates when it detects an oncoming obstacle. Most automatic emergency braking systems apply a small amount of braking force, allowing the driver more time to intervene, while some apply brakes until the vehicle comes to a complete stop.
