Anti collision system is a high-tech safety device designed to prevent or reduce the severity of an accident in the first few seconds.
According to the accident research center, forklifts are accompanied by occupational hazards in the industrial sector. In transportation, wholesale and retail, and manufacturing, exposure to forklifts means a high risk to operators, pedestrians, and others in the environment. It can also lead to serious work-related accidents and life-saving casualties.
Forklift is a potentially dangerous machine -- there are some dismal accident statistics to support this. Every year, forklifts cause about 85 deaths. About 34900 people are seriously injured in forklift accidents every year, and about 61800 people are not seriously injured due to forklift accidents. Tail collision has been identified as one of the most common incidents, accounting for 20% of forklift accidents.
Although the exact causes of these accidents vary, many accidents may be found earlier - perhaps avoided - if enterprises issue safety measures, such as anti-collision systems.
Forklifts are often used, for example, in the logistics department, which is less obvious than other forklifts. Shelves, machines, and large storage spaces can significantly hinder vision. Outside the sight of drivers, warehouse personnel and logistics vehicles face serious risks.
Then, there are usually more people in the forklift area. Forklifts are mainly electric forklifts - they produce very little noise when they are running. Therefore, when using forklifts, drivers may encounter some blind spots, such as intersections, T-junctions, l-junctions, entrances, exits and storage racks, that's all.
A worker may enter the blind spot by mistake. The team may not be able to see the forklift reversing or hear the sound of forklift driving. Finally, there is the risk of collision, so the forklift anti-collision system comes in handy.
How can forklift anti-collision system improve the safety of your fleet?
-The anti-collision alarm system improves the safety of vehicles in the logistics department when handling machinery.
-The anti-collision system includes three parts: host, ultrasonic probe and LED display.
-The safety warning function is activated by calculating the distance according to the echo time of the ultrasonic wave. The driver can estimate or "see" the blind area behind through the audible alarm and the distance displayed on the LED display.
-This technology helps protect vehicle operators by proactively analyzing and reminding them of possible risk situations.
To minimize safety accidents in your fleet, investing in collision avoidance systems is a good start.
In most cases, your driver hauls hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of goods in low visibility weather conditions. Your driver may drive carefully to reach his destination safely, but he can only see a few feet in front of him. What happens if the car in front of your driver loses traction and suddenly slows down to regain control- He collided with another car and sent them both into the ditch.
Fortunately, the driver was not injured, but your vehicle and goods were seriously damaged. In addition, because of the accident, your insurance cost has also increased. This accident will cost your company hundreds of thousands of dollars.
However, with the help of anti-collision system, you can avoid this situation and ensure the safety of life and property at the same time.
What are the different types of collision avoidance systems?
There are various types of anti-collision systems available for logistics vehicles. They include.
Forward collision warning system (FCW)
FCW system is a cutting-edge safety technology. It can track the speed of the vehicle, the speed in front of it and the distance between them. If the vehicle is pulled too close due to the speed of the vehicle behind, the FCW system will notify the driver of an impending collision.
Rear collision avoidance system
The rear anti-collision device is a high-tech safety system, which can detect oncoming vehicles when reversing. This technology helps to avoid and prevent rear collisions when reversing, even in low visibility, by using sensors at the rear of the vehicle.
Lane Departure Warning System
This type of anti-collision system alerts the driver when the vehicle begins to deviate from its lane, which is particularly beneficial for real-time blind spot detection.
Pedestrian detection system
Pedestrians are the most vulnerable target for the overall forklift of internal logistics, accounting for at least a quarter of all traffic accident deaths. Pedestrian detection system uses sensors to detect human movement on the road to help drivers find moving objects before it is too late.
Automatic brake system (ABS)
ABS is a kind of automobile braking system. It will start when it detects oncoming obstacles. Most automatic emergency braking systems (ABS) apply a small amount of braking force to give the driver more time to intervene, while some apply the brake until the vehicle comes to a complete stop.
Give priority to safety as the competitive advantage of enterprises.
The customer reported that the sharpeagle forklift anti-collision safety system for forklifts and logistics vehicles improved the safety of the fleet by 90%.
