Forklift Red Danger Light & Laser Light

Grabbing the attention of workers and other pedestrians in a buzzing warehouse isn’t an easy task, and with so little time to react, you need a reliable and sturdy lighting solution. And this is where SharpEagle’s Forklift lighting solutions come into play.

When the phrase “forklift safety” comes to mind, one of the first things that usually springs to people’s minds is how easily serious and potentially fatal accidents can happen. To help warehouse managers and business owners ensure that their employees stay safe when operating machinery such as forklifts, it is important to utilize all available methods for controlling potential hazards and communicating warning messages quickly.

One effective way of doing this is using red danger lights or laser lights on a forklift to grab onlookers’ attention in an instant.

Today, we’re going to look at the red danger and laser lights, which are the most effective ways to signal a safe distance and catch the spectators’ attention!

The Perfect Safety Combo

Forklift Red Danger Lights and Forklift Laser Lights on forklifts have quickly become an industry standard for safety. Danger lights typically feature a bright, flashing red light that illuminates the area to draw immediate attention in a moment of emergency.

With laser lights, you can project lines onto walls, floors, or any other surface to mark out designated paths and remind those in the area of what is safe and what’s off-limits. Both strategies come together to create a system of safety and security for forklift drivers and those around them.

Installing red danger lights and laser lights on a forklift can be a great way to quickly grab attention, especially when in tight spaces with limited visibility. These lights drastically boost the visibility of the forklift, helping other personnel stay clear from its path in a timely manner and avoiding accidents.

These are powered by their own independent energy sources, so you won’t have the trouble of connecting them to the grid, limiting the operability of your forklift machines.

Red Danger Light

Red is considered a symbol of danger and will easily catch the attention of walkers who’ll instantly keep safe from an impending collision. What is great with our red danger lights is that they emit a line of red lights on the sides of the vehicle, this way marking the safety zone that pedestrians shouldn’t cross!

Key Features

Red lights by SharpEagle are a perfect way to keep pedestrians safe from collisions or getting their feet injured.

Laser Light

The laser light beams help bring attention to the pedestrians by emitting strong laser light in their direction, boosting their focus and helping them get more alert. This light also has the function of establishing fork proximity for faster and easier transport and loading and unloading of goods!

This system indicates the exact position of the fork, increasing productivity and reducing transportation time and chances of damage to the product. The light source is a rechargeable battery that’s remotely controlled and has a laser wavelength of 100mW and 650mm!

Installation and Operating Tips

It’s important to carefully measure the area where you want the lights to be installed in order to ensure that they fit properly. Make sure you also have the right wiring setup; some require more complicated splices than others.

Mounting hardware like screws, bolts, and washers should also be taken into consideration when installing these lights. Finally, if you’re unsure of how to install your specific lights properly, it’s best to refer to manufacturer instructions or consult a professional if needed — this step alone could save you valuable time and money!

Operating a forklift with a red danger light and laser light may sound intimidating, but it’s actually incredibly easy. These two lights act as insightful markers that draw attention-allowing you to quickly affirm you are visible and alert other workers in the area of your presence. When using your forklift with the lights installed, just be sure to always drive slowly, keep an eye on moving pedestrians, give others time to clear the area before taking off, and don’t forget to turn the lights off after use.

With these tips in mind, you can confidently and safely use your forklift!
