Forklift Pedestrian Proximity System
Protecting the people at the heart of your operations with a dedicated forklift pedestrian proximity system.
How does a forklift pedestrian proximity system enhance workplace safety?
ZoneSafe’s forklift pedestrian proximity system is an advanced worksite technology designed to transform safety in shared workspaces. By replacing the reliance on visibility with active 360° dual-detection, the system ensures every person is accounted for, giving drivers the confidence to work productively and pedestrians the peace of mind that they are always protected, even at blind spots and corners.
-
Seamlessly integrates with all industrial plant vehicles, from forklifts to heavy excavators, regardless of the fleet size or power source.
-
Detects tagged pedestrians up to ten metres away, even through solid obstructions like racking, walls, and product piles.
-
Triggers immediate visual and auditory alerts for operators, while providing a distinct haptic vibration to pedestrians.
-
Provides the vital seconds needed to intervene, actively mitigating collision risks and ensuring everyone stops safely.
360 degree pedestrian
detection around vehicles
Drivers are notified of every pedestrian worker entering the vehicle's detection zone, which helps eliminate any blind spots that may exist.
2-Way feedback for both
drivers and pedestrian workers
Drivers receive in-cab alerts when pedestrians enter the detection zone, while pedestrians are notified by
tag vibration when vehicles get too close.
Detect pedestrian workers
even when they can't be seen
ZoneSafe enhances workplace safety by effectively detecting pedestrian workers hidden behind walls, racking, and product piles.
Stop accidents before they happen
Even with the most rigorous training, drivers cannot avoid what they cannot see. In high-pressure shared workspaces, human error and split-second distractions are the primary causes of site collisions. ZoneSafe solves this by creating an invisible, 360-degree dual-detection zone around the vehicle that identifies risks before they become accidents.
Using active RFID technology, the system removes the reliance on line-of-sight and human reaction alone. Our forklift pedestrian proximity system triggers an immediate, two-way reaction the moment a risk is detected, providing a critical layer of protection that functions through blind spots, corners, and solid obstructions.

Forklift pedestrian proximity system components
Pedestrian sensor
A vehicle-mounted antenna that creates a 360-degree detection zone, ensuring the machine can "see" in every direction..
Control unit
The central driver alert system that provides instant audible and visual warnings the moment a pedestrian enters the risk area - compatible with forklifts and all industrial plant.
VibraTag
A wearable tag that makes your workforce detectable. It uses haptic vibration to alert the wearer of approaching vehicles, even in high-noise environments.
