ZoneSafe Proximity Warning Systems
Protect people, vehicles, and assets with our forklift proximity warning systems.
How do proximity warning systems benefit your workplace?
Proximity warning systems provide a critical layer of protection that transforms your worksite from a reactive environment into a proactive culture. By identifying people and hazards near heavy machinery in real-time, we help you foster a workplace where safety awareness is built into every movement.
Further information about the value and price of our proximity warning systems is available in our cost and value guide.
-
Drive positive behavioural change across all personnel.
-
Significantly lower the chance of collisions with vehicles and infrastructure.
-
Use real-time near-miss reporting to stop accidents before they happen.
-
Enhance safety protocols without disrupting your operation.
Mitigate the risk of worksite accidents
In environments where people and machinery work together, the potential for a collision is a constant reality. It’s the uncertainty of that environment that creates fear.
We help you replace that uncertainty with the confidence of being in control. ZoneSafe provides the real-time alerts that empower your team to react before a collision occurs, preventing the life-altering events and devastating implications that follow.

ZoneSafe’s pedestrian detection system is a dedicated V2P solution built to prevent accidents where pedestrians and vehicles work together.
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 pedestrian detection around vehicles, even through 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.
Vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I)
proximity warning systems
proximity warning systems
These dynamic infrastructure systems provide highly visible alerts and auomated safety triggers that protect every person on site.
-
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 (V2V)
proximity warning systems
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.
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
In-cab driver alert system providing audible and visual alarms upon detecting a pedestrian or vehicle.
Proximity tags
Essential pedestrian safety tags worn by personnel to make your workforce detectable. They also provide haptic (vibration) alerts 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).

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.
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.
