More than 36,000 work-related accidents involving industrial trucks throughout Europe

Taking responsibility for safety in your business’ internal logistics is a big task. However, if set up well, a healthy and operational workforce, reliable costs and smooth processes can be expected. The result? On-time deliveries, satisfied customers and commercial success.

Yet safety cannot be taken for granted. Forklift and pallet trucks are involved in more than 36,000 accidents each year. In view of such figures, you surely ask yourself time and again what else you can do to further minimise occupational accidents and the associated damage, downtime and costs.

Safe logistics processes provide:

  • Healthy employees who feel well looked after in the workplace.
  • Industrial trucks that are ready to use without unexpected downtimes, which can cause real headaches.
  • Undamaged goods that arrive at their destination on time, instead of getting stuck somewhere along the way.
  • A boost to your brand image in the eyes of the public, investors, customers and your own employees by showing that you place a high value on safety.
  • Reduced costs, because work-related accidents involving downtimes cost an average of EUR 1000 per day – and this is money you can save!

Goodbye risks, hello safety!

To make selecting the right safety solution as easy as possible for you, we have compiled a list of typical warehouse safety risks. Simply click on a subject and discover the right solution for you to maximise safety in your workplace.


Problem fields

Tipping accidents

Tipping accidents

Cornering at excessive speeds or improper load handling are just two examples of situations that can cause trucks to tip over. Discover the safety solutions that will keep everything in perfect balance.

Recommended safety solution

Stability monitoring

Avoid unstable driving or load situations.

Access and user control

Specify who can use which truck and at which performance level.

Collisions

Collisions

Sudden braking, a moment of carelessness and before you know it, ‘smash!’. In busy warehouse areas especially, the risk of collisions is enormous. Learn how you can effectively prevent collisions like this.

Recommended safety solution

Access and user control

Specify who can use which truck and at which performance level.

Warning signals

Make sure that potential risks can be seen and heard.

Wireless collision avoidance

Enable forklift trucks, people and objects in the warehouse to communicate with one another.

Operator injuries

Operator injuries

Falling loads, the lack of a restraint system or a slippery step – operators can be injured in a myriad of ways both in and outside of the forklift truck. You can change that! Find the right solutions for injury-free operations here.

Recommended safety solution

Operator protection

Protect the physical safety of your drivers.

Poor visibility

Poor visibility

Even if the drivers are particularly careful, their view to the rear will always remain restricted to a certain extent. Direct your attention to solutions for clear and unobstructed lines of sight in all directions.

Recommended safety solution

Warning signals

Make sure that potential risks can be seen and heard.

Camera systems

Give your drivers an extra set of eyes for a comprehensive overview.

Simple collision avoidance

Prevent collisions with sensors installed on the forklift truck.

Wireless collision avoidance

Enable forklift trucks, people and objects in the warehouse to communicate with one another.

Intelligent collision avoidance

Allow forklift trucks in the warehouse to identify risk situations and react to them individually.

Obscuring load

Obscuring load

Heavy loads are often extremely bulky and can quickly restrict drivers’ views. Warning signals, camera systems and wireless sensors serve as the driver’s sixth sense to protect the driver and their load.

Recommended safety solution

Warning signals

Make sure that potential risks can be seen and heard.

Camera systems

Give your drivers an extra set of eyes for a comprehensive overview.

Wireless collision avoidance

Enable forklift trucks, people and objects in the warehouse to communicate with one another.

Environments with poor visibility

Environments with poor visibility

Narrow aisles, sharp angles, high shelves: there are areas of poor visibility in every warehouse – attention, risk of accident! Here, you will find solutions to transform your risk areas into safety zones.

Recommended safety solution

Warning signals

Make sure that potential risks can be seen and heard.

Wireless collision avoidance

Enable forklift trucks, people and objects in the warehouse to communicate with one another.

Zone detection

Ensure that forklift trucks identify risk zones and adjust their settings to the environment appropriately.

Stationary solutions

Create a warehouse environment that is as safe as the trucks that drive within it.

Collision damage to infrastructure and goods

Collision damage to infrastructure and goods

Your attention wavers for a moment and the back of your truck crashes into a loaded pallet that one of your colleagues left there without you noticing. This is just one of many collision damage scenarios in the warehouse. Discover how you can avoid such damage.

Recommended safety solution

Access and user control

Specify who can use which truck and at which performance level.

Camera systems

Collision damage at heights

Collision damage at heights

“Oops, that pipe was definitely too low for the mast”. It’s always better to take action before any damage is caused. Our safety systems ensure that operators, trucks and doors remain undamaged.

Recommended safety solution

Access and user control

Specify who can use which truck and at which performance level.

Zone detection

Ensure that forklift trucks identify risk zones and adjust their settings to the environment appropriately.

Stationary solutions

Create a warehouse environment that is as safe as the trucks that drive within it.

Prohibited use of the truck

Prohibited use of the truck

Experienced operators can exploit the full power of a forklift truck and remain safe during operations. But not everyone can do that. Individual access rights ensure that novices or employees from different departments can’t just jump on the truck and drive it.

Recommended safety solution

Access and user control

Specify who can use which truck and at which performance level.

Bad drivers

Bad drivers

Everyone likes to put their foot down once in a while, but in the warehouse, this can only mean one thing: transport accidents involving damage to people, goods or vehicles. Discover safety solutions that will transform bad drivers into model students.

Recommended safety solution

Access and user control

Specify who can use which truck and at which performance level.

Unauthorised persons in traffic areas

Unauthorised persons in traffic areas

Most warehouses have designated and marked footpaths that show where pedestrians can walk safely. But those that can’t read these markings can quickly wander into danger areas. Prevent this with solutions that guarantee safety, even when people wander into danger areas.
