AisleCop Warehouse Entry Gates
Help protect pedestrians from forklift traffic at entry points
Get QuoteThe Scenario
Workers and visitors can cross freely — and blindly — into an active forklift lane near this loading dock. Dock areas carry constant forklift traffic and frequent foot traffic from people who may not know the facility well. The risk of a serious collision is high.
Configuration and Operation
We installed two AisleCop® pedestrian safety gates along with guardrail and overhead sensors. The gates rest in a position spanning the pedestrian path, which signals to anyone on foot that the crossing is restricted and that the intersection must be entered deliberately rather than by habit.
To cross, a pedestrian initiates the system with a push button on the gate pedestal. Warning lights begin to flash and overhead sensors scan the forklift lane. When the lane is clear, the gates swing open and come to rest spanning the forklift lane instead.
This configuration uses a single set of gates to perform both functions. In their closed position they restrict the walkway; in their open position they block the forklift lane, giving drivers a strong visual indication that the crosswalk is in use. Once the pedestrian is clear, the gates reset and normal forklift traffic resumes.

AisleCop® Forklift Safety System Components
This system may utilize a combination of the following components to help manage a dangerous intersection or aisle.
Pedestrian Gates
These gate systems come with push-buttons as the standard activation method, with bright flashing red LED lights on the top of the arm for further visibility. They swing easily open and will stop when they meet an obstacle. They synchronize with motion sensors and any forklift gates utilized with the system.
Forklift "Boom Arm" Gates
Forklift gates raise and lower as triggered by various processes - the activation of a pedestrian gate, controls via motion detection, pull switches, ground loops, or other methods as needed per application.
Guard Railing
Steel guard rails are not necessarily part of every forklift safety system, but are frequently used as part of the system to help manage and separate foot and vehicle traffic. Guard rails can be specified from ultra-heavy-duty to simple hand rails, to fit the needs of a particular application.
Motion Sensors
The typical AisleCop® system utilizes motion sensors to detect foot and vehicle traffic. These sensors can be mounted on either the forklift, on pedestrian gates, on walls, on racks, on guard rails, or at other spots as needed to monitor the protected zone.
AisleAlert™ Floor Warning Lights
AisleAlert™ adds a visual warning layer where gates aren't practical. Ceiling-mounted sensors scan the intersection and trigger a bright LED light that flashes directly down onto the floor at the center of the crossing, where both drivers and pedestrians will see it. The system triggers only when traffic converges from at least two directions, so it stays dark until there's an actual collision risk. Available in 2-way, 3-way, and 4-way configurations with a red or blue light.
AisleCop® systems are safety tools that are designed to help define and control access to forklift aisles. They do not provide 100% protection from industrial traffic accidents, and they are not a substitute for comprehensive workplace safety programs or procedures. AisleCop® gates direct and manage traffic flow but are not impact-resistant barriers and will not stop forklifts or other industrial vehicles.
The effectiveness of any AisleCop® system depends in part on factors outside the control of Cisco-Eagle, including but not limited to other critical factors, such as system and equipment maintenance, driver compliance, and pedestrian and individual compliance, enforcement of crossing lanes, and accurate assessment of safe crossings conditions. Users are solely responsible for these and all other safety measures.
Use of an AisleCop® system is at the user’s own risk. Users must follow all safety instructions, warnings, and applicable laws. AisleCop® systems are intended for professional environments and should be operated only by trained and qualified personnel. No representation is made or implied that the system can prevent all accidents, injuries, or losses.
