Wickham Fork-Alert offers a unique Fork Alert System that enables businesses in varying industries to maintain the highest level of warehouse safety and traffic management. This vehicle proximity detection system puts forklift safety first; using infrared Sweep scan technology to alert operators of objects in their path.
Our unique forklift safety system provides many benefits in comparison with alternative vehicle sensor technologies and includes the following features:
- Wide 10 meter / 32’10" radius detection zone (early triggering)
- 360 omni directional triggering (detection from any angle)
- Specific triggering range (accurate and consistent detection zone)
- Definable detection zone (controlling triggering to the immediate environment)
- Does not make use of Radio Frequency technology (not subject to interference)
- Indoor and outdoor functionality (suitable to most environments)
- Modular design for easy installation (low cost, low impact)

Forklifts moving in and around a workplace, reversing, loading and unloadingare frequently linked with death and injuries to pedestrians.
Have questions?
Can the Fork-Alert system cover greater distance than the nominal 10m/33ft?
Yes, the receivers can be "chained" to give greater coverage, i.e. three receivers could be placed down a corridor to give 30m / 98.4ft coverage
Can the Fork-Alert system be adjusted to cover less distance?
Yes, the receiver's sensitivity can be wound down to shorter distances via a potentiometer in the receiver.
Who installs the Fork-Alert system?
Electricians can install the system. Wickham provides the installation instructions, or we, Wickham can arrange the installation if you prefer.
Who installs the Infrared Transmitter that goes on the Forklift?
Electricians can install the units, however if you lease your forklifts you should seek advice from the forklift supplier and possibly get them to install it onto their machines.
Why doesn’t the transmitter flash?
The transmitter sweeps an invisible beam around the forklift. The transmitter is purely for the Fork-Alert system and does not replace the existing flashing light on the forklift.
