\"Forklift<\/a><\/p>\n

Like many technologies, forklift safety sensors and alarms progress the more the need is stressed. Cisco-Eagle’s Safety Automation Group<\/a> has built a suite of solutions that can help in more specific situations. Let’s review some of the newest technologies you can implement and where they might be the most helpful.<\/p>\n

180-degree forklift-mounted collision sensors<\/a><\/h3>\n

These sensors aren’t specifically backup sensors, but do serve that function. They’re better than simple backup alarms due to their 180-degree coverage behind and to the sides of the driver. They help drivers by warning them when they detect an object — or more importantly, a person — within their zone of 16 feet. They flash at first, then flash faster within 10 feet. Finally at 6 feet away, an audible alarm is triggered. You can also order them with different settings to fit your needs.<\/p>\n
