Proximity Warning Systems for Plant
Complete range of forklift proximity warning systems engineered to protect your worksite.
How do proximity warning systems benefit your workplace?
Proximity warning systems act as an essential layer of safety that transforms your worksite. They proactively identify and alert to the presence of people and objects near plant and heavy machinery. This approach doesn’t just help avoid incidents; it fosters a stronger culture of safety and awareness among your team.
Further information about the value and price of our proximity warning systems is available in our cost and value guide.

A single system for your diverse fleet
Our proximity warning alert systems give you the power to standardise safety and proactively mitigate risks across all industries, easily retrofitting your entire fleet, from forklifts to excavators.
Forklifts
- Eliminate blind spots.
- Boosts forklift safety in busy areas.
Shovel Loaders
- Overcome visibility limits.
- Reduce collision risk with large attachments.
Excavators
- Protect people in the danger zone.
- Ensure safety near the body and boom arm.
Reach Stackers
- Full awareness with oversized loads.
- Safely manage large container blind spots.
Vehicle-to-pedestrian proximity warning systems
ZoneSafe’s pedestrian detection system is a dedicated solution engineered to avoid accidents where pedestrians and vehicles operate in close proximity. The system provides the capability to implement a unique two-way warning, delivering simultaneous alerts to both vehicle operators and pedestrian workers.
-
Empower both vehicle operators and pedestrian workers to know when they are too close to each other.
-
Provide complete 360-degree detection around vehicles, even through physical obstructions like walls, racking, and blind corners.
-
Ensure detection with a predefined range of up to 10 metres away from the vehicle.
-
Give drivers critical situational awareness to reliably detect pedestrians and avoid risk.
Visual alert & activated warning systems
These dynamic visual systems revolutionise safety in worksites by providing highly visible warnings that empower every person on site. Sensors instantly trigger immediate alerts directly within risk zones.
-
Protect everyone with active visual warnings that don’t require personnel to wear tags.
-
Easily communicate safety with highly visible alerts, including lights and floor projections, for visitors and diverse personnel.
-
Reduce collision risk by ensuring active visual cues warn everyone nearby of approaching vehicles.
-
Get ample warning with sensors that detect each other up to 50m away from approaching vehicles.
Vehicle-to-vehicle proximity warning systems
Our vehicle anti-collision system is designed to proactively manage the risk of vehicle-to-vehicle collisions, preventing injuries, equipment damage, and downtime.
-
Gain ample time to take preventative measures with detection up to 50 metres.
-
Customise your protection with two configurable alarms: an outer pre-warning zone and an inner close-proximity alert.
-
Protect any vehicle type, regardless of its size or shape.
-
Ensure operator readiness with audible and visual alarms from the control unit.
Asset protection & hazard safety systems
Our system is engineered to proactively protect stationary assets and avoid costly collisions with vehicles or identified hazards. This solution involves placing ZoneSafe Tags into safety cones, which are then detected by approaching vehicles.
-
Effortlessly mark hazards with tags fitted into easily placed safety cones.
-
Provide advanced warning as cones are detected by approaching vehicles up to ten metres away.
-
Give drivers an immediate warning with an alarm when their vehicle gets too close to a protected asset or hazard.
-
Secure your assets and reduce the risk of collisions with stationary assets and hazards.
Drop zone protection
ZoneSafe drop zone protection is a dedicated solution to safeguard groundworkers from being struck by falling objects. The system creates a precisely defined demarcation zone with multi-faceted warnings when personnel enter this hazardous area.
-
Customise your protection by creating a "drop zone" demarcation area with an adjustable diameter of up to 18 metres.
-
Provide immediate, multi-faceted warnings to groundworkers via tag vibration.
-
Warn everyone nearby with an audible and visual alarm from the unit when personnel enter the demarcation zone.
-
Safeguard your groundworkers from being struck by falling objects during elevated work.
How does data management improve worksite safety?
The ZoneSafe data management system transforms raw detection information into powerful, actionable insights that drive continuous improvement in worksite safety. Information is securely uploaded to our cloud-based platform to provide unique visibility into site activity.
-
Gain unique visibility by tracking vehicle movements and recording near-miss occurrences.
-
Analyse detailed analytics to identify trends and patterns for proactive risk mitigation.
-
Effectively manage performance by analysing and comparing events over time.
-
Generate custom reports and share data for informed decision-making.

System components
V2P sensor
Fitted to the vehicle, this antenna creates a 360-degree detection zone to detect proximity tags up to 10 metres away.
Control unit
Positioned in the cab, the control unit provides the driver with audible and visual alarms upon detecting a pedestrian or other vehicle.
Proximity tags
Worn by personnel, these tags make your workforce detectable. They also vibrate to warn the wearer of approaching vehicles.
V2V sensor
Mounted on the vehicle's roof, this unit detects other equipped vehicles up to 50 metres away to warn the driver.
Vehicle-activated sign
Used with the vehicle to infrastructure sensor, the active sign flashes every time vehicles are detected.
V2I sensor
Sends a signal to the active sign when vehicles approaching are detected (also used with any other visual alert solution).
Featured case studies
Thamesdown Recycling successfully transformed its work environment. Dual alerts prevent potential collisions before they occur.
Leading UK sawmill, Charles Ransford & Son, implemented pedestrian detection systems on loading shovels.
