Case Study: Gray Forklift Services – Warehouse Safety at a Logistics Firm
The challenge: Ensuring pedestrian visibility
Gray Forklift Services, a specialist in material handling equipment, was approached by a customer with extremely high health and safety standards. The customer, operating in a sensitive industry, wanted to ensure there was no opportunity for pedestrian-vehicle collisions on-site. Their primary requirement was a reliable safety system that could make pedestrians more visible to drivers at all times.
The solution: A flexible and effective proximity system
After researching potential solutions, Gray contacted Avonwood, the manufacturer of ZoneSafe. A team from ZoneSafe worked directly with Gray in Aberdeen to fully understand the customer’s needs. The ZoneSafe solution was chosen for its flexibility and ease of use. Vehicles were fitted with detection technology, and tags were issued to personnel. The system’s detection zone is easily adjustable and provides an automatic audio/visual alarm when a pedestrian with a tag enters the area, alerting the driver.
The result: Zero collisions and a new standard for safety
Since the system was implemented, the customer has had no accidental collisions and has won a Gold Safety Award. The solution has been extremely well-received, with both Gray and the customer impressed by its effectiveness. Gray noted that the system is superior to others they had trialled because it can detect pedestrians and hazards even when they are blocked by objects or heavy loads on the front of vehicles. The data reporting feature has also helped the customer take a more proactive approach to workplace safety. Nick McCrea, Sales Manager at Gray, stated that the system simply “works,” and that they will continue to recommend it to their customers.
