This Fork Alert LED Forklift sign has a steel enclosure - 110VAC - 240 VAC.
Visually very bright and has rotating flashing wheels.
Our Sweepscan technology is the remote detection of a coded infrared signal from a transmitter attached to a forklift or other vehicle. The signal sensor, called a receiver, has an accurately adjustable range and a wide detection zone which is easily configured for specific applications. The transmitter is designed for the majority of forklifts and warehouse vehicles, and works to transmit the invisible signal 360 around the vehicle ensuring it will be detected, regardless of its orientation or direction relative to the receiver.

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.
