LED Forklift Safety Lights

Arc

The arc pattern creates a curved light signal on the ground around the forklift. Using an arc pattern is useful for forklifts that have to swing out and maneuver around corners frequently because it gives a clear indication of where the forklift will swing and allows enough space for pedestrians to stand safely away. Mount arc-patterned lights to the front or back of your forklift.

Arrow
An arrow pattern projected onto the ground indicates which way the warehouse vehicle is moving. This type of warning gives pedestrians enough time to see the light and safely move out of the way. Arrow-patterned forklift lights are best suited for the front and back of your forklift.

Line
Fixtures emitting a line pattern create a clear separation between the "Halo-Zone" and where it is safe to walk. This is one of the most popular safety light beam patterns. These lights are commonly installed off the sides of a forklift, but you can mount multiple warning lights around the sides and rear of your forklift to create an encompassing square.

Square
Mounting multiple fixtures around your forklift creates an encompassing square “No-Go” zone. Similar to the arc pattern, this is ideal for forklifts that frequently have to swing out and maneuver around corners. Square-patterned safety lights are best suited on the front or back of your forklift to provide warehouse workers with sufficient warning.

Pedestrian warning lights: Forklift warning lights are mounted high on the overhead guard to maximize the coverage area. When installing your lights, make sure to angle them properly so they project the desired distance away from your vehicle.

Lights with an arrow pattern should be projected around 10 to 20 feet in the front or rear of the forklift to give a sufficient warning of the path of the forklift. Arc, square, and line-patterned forklift lights should be positioned to create a “No-Go” zone extending 2-5 feet away from the vehicle. Lights with these patterns are commonly mounted on the sides and rear of forklifts.

Headlights: Forklift headlights and forward-facing lights should be installed at the front of the vehicle and positioned to provide enough forward visibility for forklifts to navigate low-light environments safely.

Strobes: Strobe beacons can be installed in a variety of locations on a forklift, as long as they are visible from multiple angles and points of view. In low-lighting conditions, this will ensure that pedestrians receive a clear indication of where the forklift is located.
