Northern Materials Handling can provide a site visit, where our experienced staff can assess your operations and offer recommendations on safety improvement.
In a warehouse, pedestrians’ interaction with forklifts poses significant safety challenges.
Key factors include electric forklifts’ silent operation, limited driver visibility when carrying loads or reversing, and extended stopping distances, especially when loaded.
We offer many forms of training and safety systems, which can be used as stand-alone systems or in combination, depending on the working environment.
- Audible alarms – horns, reversing, travelling and stationary alarms with different sounds and noise levels.
- Mirrors come in many types and can be placed where required.
- Camera displays within the operator’s cab – front view for travelling with loads, rear view for reversing, side view, and fork-mounted
- Proximity Detection Sensors (RFID) – can trigger automatic braking, provide visual and audible alerts to drivers and pedestrians and reduce blind spots.
Safety Lighting Systems are innovative tools designed to enhance visibility and alert drivers and pedestrians of potential hazards.
- LED working spotlights improve the driver’s vision in poor light conditions
- Red zone safety lights cast a straight, bright beam on either side of the forklift, and red arc halo safety lights cast an arc around the truck, indicating the danger zone.
- Blue spot or arrow safety lights shine a beam on the floor to indicate forward or backward motion up to 20ft ahead of the forklift.
- Flashing beacons
DRIVER MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS are advanced tools that enhance
safety and fleet operation.

DRIVER TRAINING
Employers operating forklift equipment have a legal responsibility to ensure their staff receive basic MHE training and testing from accredited instructors.
This not only reduces the likelihood of accidents in the warehouse, but improves the safety of both operators and pedestrians.
Northern Materials Handling offers complete training solutions for all categories of forklift and materials handling equipment.
