A forklift is a powerful and essential tool and as their need and use grows so does the potential for serious accidents. Each year forklift accidents result in loss of life, significant personal injuries and damages to products and property. Many of these accidents can be avoided with the proper use of safety lighting, back up alarms and more.

TVH believes that safety is important everywhere forklifts are used. Whether you need warning lights, back up alarms, safety harnesses or one of our many other safety products, TVH has you covered with our wide range of products to keep you, your forklift and your workforce safe.

The use of forklifts to elevate personnel is a common practice in many workplaces. There are several different types of fall protection systems to choose from, like a forklift cage or a basket. But for increased protection and mobility TVH recommends using a full-body harness. This type of fall protection system holds a worker in place or restricts movement to prevent falls while allowing a hands-free work environment at elevated heights.

TVH offers a wide range of full-body harnesses to fit your needs. Our harnesses are fully adjustable with a sliding back D-ring and come in a variety of sizes. They are lightweight and made from a durable polyester webbing for all day comfort and dependability and comply with OSHA and ANSI standards.

When it comes to forklift safety, a lot of emphasis is placed on safe forklift operation. However it's just as important to make sure that those who work around the forklift are safe as well.

TVH helps promote pedestrian safety by offering a variety of safety lights. One of the newest is the Blue LED Spotlight. The Blue LED Spotlight provides a highly visible blue warning light to alert pedestrians of approaching machinery before it's heard in the warehouse environment. When the Blue LED Spotlight is mounted to a forklift it projects a highly concentrated blue beam on the floor or ground 5 meters (16 feet) in front of the machine. This bright blue spotlight on the floor is clearly visible to pedestrians and other vehicles in the area, regardless of the surrounding noise level.

TVH offers three different Blue LED Spotlights, in 4, 2 and 1 LED options, to best fit your needs. Their versatile and compact design makes it easy to mount on the front or back of the vehicle. The 1 LED Blue Spotlight has a 20,000 hour lifetime and features a sharped-edge spot light. The 2 LED spotlight has a durable polycarbonate housing and its low profile allows for mounting in tight spaces. And finally the 4 LED Blue Spotlight has an automotive optical grade, hard-coated polycarbonate lens and produces 150 lumens. Its rugged die-cast aluminum housing makes it suitable to use on heavy duty machines.

Another essential safety product that no forklift should be without is a strobe warning light. TVH offers an extensive selection of strobes that are available in multiple colors, profiles and mounts to fit any make and model.

In addition to warning lights, all forklifts should also be equipped with back-up alarms. To be most effective back-up alarms need to be around 10 decibels above the ambient noise of its surroundings. Since noise levels can vary depending on time of day or activity it can be difficult to select the right back-up alarm with the correct decibel level for your forklift. TVH has the solution with our Safe-T-Alert® Self Adjusting Alarm. This back-up alarm listens to the ambient noise using a built in microphone and automatically adjusts its sound output to be louder than the surrounding noise.
