Industrial workplaces have several goods, machinery, and combustible materials. That, combined with a forklift moving along the place, and transporting goods, is a deadly combination. Hence, sufficient safety equipment must be incorporated into industrial workplaces to ensure the safety of workers at all times.

Forklifts in oil and chemical industries require robust safety equipment that can contain sparks from coming in contact with the explosive atmosphere. Forklift safety lights are built with durable materials to keep sparks contained and provide high visibility to the operator and pedestrians in the workplace.

Types of forklift safety lights that you can install to ensure maximum safety.

1.  Forklift ARC Safety Lights

Enframed in cast aluminum alloy housing, the Forklift ARC Safety Lights are equipped with high-power LED that projects a beam across the forklift to alert pedestrians from coming into contact with the forklift. These lights can function in extremely high temperatures due to the double-insulated silicon rubberized wire integrated into the encasement.

Dust, water, and quakeproof, these lights have a tempered glass cover that shields them from external damage. Due to their rugged design and robust engineering, you don’t need to worry about these glasses getting tampered with or damaged near extreme weather conditions.

The Forklift ARC Safety Lights have a high power light source as good quality LED lights are used to create strong beam projections around the forklift. Projections in red help pedestrians or other workers in the workplace stay vigilant and steer clear of the forklift. With an ingress protection of IP 67, these lights are perfect for ensuring forklift safety.  

2.  Forklift Red Danger Light

With similar functionalities as the Forklift ARC Safety Lights, the Red Danger Light help walkers stay safe from meeting a fatal collision or serious injury due to the rear-end movement of the forklift.

These lights are designed to withstand extreme temperatures and are encased with aluminum die-cast and double-insulated silicon rubberized wire. Stainless steel brackets complement the tough design of the Forklift Red Danger Light on both ends to hold the light in one place.

While the ARC forklift safety lights have an arc beam, these lights have a linear beam that is projected on either side of the forklift broadly to alert pedestrians of the presence of the forklift. Equipped with 18W high-power LED lights and operating voltage ranging between 10-80V DC, these lights minimize forklift accidents from occurring and advocate a safer workplace.

3.  Forklift Laser Light

The Forklift Laser Light helps the operator have a clear idea of the exact positioning of the forks through laser beam projection. This mechanism minimizes the chances of casualties and aids the forklift operator in moving and transporting goods in the workplace.

These laser lights also considerably reduce transportation time as the operator can carry out the transportation of the goods effectively, and there won’t be room for product damage. Optimized with laser power and laser wavelength of 100mw and 650 MW, respectively, the light is equipped with a rechargeable battery and remote control switch.

The forklift can be used for as long as fifty to seventy hours per recharge and is suitable for Classes 1, 2,3, & 4. Designed to foster high productivity and to belong to the laser safety class IIB, the Forklift Laser Light is highly recommended to increase workplace safety.

4.  Forklift Blue Spot Light

A sophisticated tool designed to warn pedestrians or other vehicles nearing the blind corners and semi-trailer of the forklift, the Forklift Blue Spot Light ensures maximised safety. TheIP67 rating and durable encasement with aluminum alloy to eliminate heat make sit an ideal choice for explosive workplace environments.

Workers in oil, gas, and chemical industries have to be extremely careful while operating forklifts across combustible areas. Forklifts installed with Blue Spot Light will warn approaching vehicles, allowing them to maintain sufficient distance from the forklift.

The Forklift Blue Spot Light also has tempered glass and is dust, water, and quakeproof; hence it can easily sustain external damages in case of accidents or explosions. Moreover, the aluminum alloy housing will prevent the light from emitting sparks outside the light to avoid flare-ups.

5.  Forklift Blue Arrow Light

Forklift safety lights are designed to keep the safety of the workers in priority. The Forklift Blue Arrow Light offers a clear signal through projection to the pedestrians who may be behind the reversing forklift. This maximises workplace safety and eliminates the chances of any unfortunate accidents.

Launched with an IP67 rating and high-power 3W LED, the Forklift Blue Arrow Light can project light on the surface up to a distance of 20 feet. Premium designed for heat elimination and explosive atmospheres, these lights have double-insulated rubberized wire and a supporting steel bracket.

With an innate capacity to function in extreme temperatures, Forklift Blue Arrow Lights play a crucial role in alarming nearby pedestrians to stay away from the forklift’s surrounding premises. These lights are also easy to install on forklifts and are energy-saving.

6.  Forklift Warning Light

Workers in industries are occupied with their jobs and may not always acknowledge the arrow lights or arc lights. This is where the Forklift Warning Light plays a great role in alerting everyone in the workspace of the forklift location.

The light is encapsulated inside a durable, tempered glass made of die-cast aluminum to dissipate heat efficiently. This light offers 360-degree coverage and can rotate in three different patterns. The operator can select the pattern at all times. It has a high-power Osram LED and an operating voltage between 10-110 V DC.

The Forklift Warning Light has IP65 rating and is available in different colours, such as amber, green, purple, red, and blue. Built for harsh working conditions, the Forklift Warning Light can function in extreme temperatures ranging from forty to eighty degrees and offers increased protection.

7.  Overhead Crane Light

Overhead Crane Lights are installed in industrial workplaces to ensure the precise placement of hooks. It also warns pedestrians that the forklift is in motion. Built with high-power LEDs of72 watts, these lights offer improved visibility and come with an adjustable mountain bracket that can be adjusted up to 150 degrees.

With 12000 lumens and a waterproofIP67 rating, overhead crane lights are powerful forklift safety solutions. These lights can work up to 50,000 hours and have a cable length of 0.6 meters. The LEDs are in blue and red colour, and each point contains 12000 lumens, where each light forms one light.

Overhead Crane Lights come with mountain brackets and is easy to install in the workplace. Unlike other forklift lights that can be installed on the body of the forklift, this one is installed in the path that the forklift follows to provide clear visibility for the efficient transporting and moving of goods.
