"Forklifts and pedestrians don't mix, but we have to make it work. If you want to make your people safer in mixed-use zones, we can help you create a custom solution. Because it's intelligent, automated and highly configurable, AisleCop helps make the most dangerous zones—blind corners, busy intersections, tight spaces and low-visibility crossings—safer. Call or send an inquiry today, and we'll get to work on your solution."

People and forklifts don't mix
We can help you automate the separation of traffic and pedestrians while
maintaining traffic flow
According to the U.S. Department of Labor, about 100 workers are killed and another 20,000 are injured every year by forklifts in the U.S. alone, so safety is always a concern whenever forklifts and people operate in the same space, like they do in most warehouses, shops, factories, distribution centers or lumber yards.
The AisleCop® Safety Gate System helps control traffic to separate forklifts and pedestrians. Depending on the conditions you specify, the gates can restrict pedestrians, restrict forklifts, or restrict both in a highly configurable traffic management plan.
Ideal for blind or limited visibility spots, high-traffic intersections, and other high-exposure areas
Dangerous or blind intersections where visibility may be limited, such as high speed doors, or very high traffic areas are where traffic control gates are most highly recommended. When properly utilized, these gates can potentially help reduce or eliminate lift truck/pedestrian accidents.
AisleCop® Safety System Operation
The system is flexible. Standard automated AisleCop® systems utilize motion detection or other sensors as they scan for forklifts, AGVs, walkies, or other industrial traffic. Intelligent controls help control traffic flow to potentially minimize contact between pedestrians and forklifts. You can specify rules exactly as desired for your operational and safety needs.
AisleCop® Automatic Safety System Operation
- To cross the aisle, pedestrians press a button. Other methods, including pull cords for the forklift aisle, pressure-mat, in-ground loops, or photoeye activation can also be utilized either with buttons or independent of them. Typical systems will utilize push buttons
- Sensors search for fork trucks (or stackers, walkies, AGV's, or other industrial traffic) in the designated zone or aisle
- If a forklift is detected, lights flash and the gates remain closed until the fork lift aisle is clear
- If no traffic is detected, lights flash, an audible alarm beeps and the gates open into the aisle on opposing sides, creating a visual barrier for forklift drivers and allowing pedestrians to cross
- Once the gates are open, a motion sensor detects the presence of pedestrians in the crossing aisle. The gates remain open as long as individuals are detected. This can also be set on a timer, with any logic specified for your operation
- Once pedestrians are clear, gates automatically close after a predetermined interval and enter standby mode so forklifts can cross the aisle
- AisleCop® can interface with alarm systems for emergency unrestricted egress. During fire alarms or other defined emergencies, gates can be set to automatically open and remain open until reset
AisleCop® systems are safety tools that help define and control access to forklift aisles. They do not provide 100% protection from industrial traffic accidents. AisleCop® gates do not stop forklifts or other industrial traffic. Other critical factors, such as system maintenance, driver compliance, and pedestrian/individual compliance, enforcement of crossing lanes, and assessment of safe crossings are the responsibility of individuals and companies.
