Fork tilt indicators allow for reach truck and construction boom operators to check if their forks are level before picking up or sitting down items to help reduce damage to products and equipment. This system utilizes two paired boxes with RFID technology; the first box is mounted to the fork carriage and relays the tilt of the forks to the second box that is mounted in front of the operator. With level forks, the risk of items being pushed or pulled off of a rack or other storage areas and causing damage or injury to nearby workers is significantly lowered. Also, OSHA requires level forks when lifting people on a safety platform and the flat fork system ensures that the forks are truly level. Five flashing lights indicate to the driver if their forks are level or tilted at an upward or a downward angle, and to what extent the forks are angled. The flat fork system is powered by two standard "D" alkaline batteries per box and is easily installed by one person.
