Why Install Forklift Speed Limiters?

The Critical Need for Speed Alarms

In industrial facilities, forklifts often exceed the standard 5 km/h speed limit. Without speed displays, operators rely on rough estimations of "faster" or "slower." Complex environments with frequent pedestrian traffic make speeding a leading cause of collisions and accidents.

How Speed Limiters Operate

1、Real-Time Monitoring

Wireless sensors on wheel hubs detect speed, transmitting data to the control unit upon exceeding preset thresholds.

2、Three-Stage Alerts

Travel Alert: "Forklift approaching!" voice + lights warn pedestrians.

Reverse Alert: "Caution! Vehicle reversing" with strobe lights.

Overspeed Alert: "Overspeed! Please slow down" voice + flashing lights.

3、Progressive Enforcement

Repeat violations trigger remote-controlled lockouts, requiring admin authorization to reset.

4、Speed Governing

Mechanical/electronic throttle controllers cap speed at idle when limits are breached.

Three-Stage Alerts

Speed Display Integration

LED Display: Dual-sided 52.8cm screen shows real-time speed.

Supervisory Tool: Enables on-site monitoring of operator compliance.
