I have designed a lift alarm that only sounds when the forks are above free lift. This will hopefully provide a safer inviroment for workers on foot, working on the other side of racking, know a load is up above their head and so on.

What do you think? Would this be a good safety device? Or do you know of one that already is on the market? I could not find one.

Thanks,

Rusty
