10 Reasons to Use Forklift Cameras in Warehouses

[Alvira Khan <alvirakhan016@xxxxxxxxx>]

Operating a forklift has always been a tough job, primarily due to restrict=
ed vision. Thus, blunders by forklift operators happen frequently, which ca=
n damage the products, equipment and even be a serious risk to people=E2=80=
=99s lives. This is where a forklift camera can help. With a wireless forkl=
ift camera system, you can minimize the visibility challenges of operating =
a forklift and the resultant general safety dangers. In warehouses where yo=
u handle heavy loads, a forklift camera system can be a real asset. Wonderi=
ng why does it matter? Here are 10 reasons why you should use a wireless fo=
rklift camera in warehouses:

Reduce forklift=E2=80=99s inherent blindspots: A wireless forklift camera c=
an be installed at the back, front, sides or at any other spot around the l=
ift truck where visibility is impaired. This would help reduce the truck=E2=
=80=99s blindspots, and give the operator a clear view of the forks, racks =
and the surroundings.
Team it up with other vehicle safety systems for better results: You can co=
mbine your forklift camera system with auto-braking mechanisms, mobile CCTV=
 systems, and vehicle radar. This will let the truck operator get complete =
vision of the top, bottom, right and left blindspots, together with full vi=
sion of fork. This way, all blindspots around your forklift can be effectiv=
ely eliminated.
Improved safety of your employees: With a precise and clear view of the sur=
roundings for forklift operators, chances of accidents and risks of other d=
amages would decrease.
Improved accuracy: The forklift operators=E2=80=99 improved vision would he=
lp them position bulky loads with better accuracy.
Boost to productivity: Straining the neck to look back and front, or strain=
ing the back to peep out of truck and ensure the forks fit the load is comm=
on with forklift operators. This hinders their concentration, accuracy and =
speed. With a wireless forklift camera, these issues can be eliminated comp=
letely, thus increasing productivity.
Ease of use: A big advantage of a wireless forklift camera system is that i=
t can be installed on literally any kind of forklift, even gigantic counter=
balance forklift trucks.
Decreased trial and error times: Thanks to his improved vision due to a for=
klift camera system, the forklift operator can clearly see the position of =
the forks and the load. This certainly decreases time that would have other=
wise been wasted on repetitive trial and error.
Improved speed: A forklift camera system usually has an LCD screen set up o=
n the dashboard that is easy for the forklift operator to view. Thus, he ca=
n clearly see how and where the forks are being placed right from his seat =
without any fatigue, neck or back strain. This in turn lets him move faster=
 and more efficiently.
Reduced damages: Forklift operators deal with bulky and expensive goods, na=
rrow aisles, different rack heights, tight corners and noisy surroundings. =
All of these increase the chances of damages. A forklift camera makes the f=
orklift operators become more aware about what=E2=80=99s happening in their=
 surroundings, thus reducing the chances of on-site damages.
An economically judicious decision: The best part of installing a forklift =
camera system? With it, you can not only reduce damages to goods, but even =
reduce the risks of accidents, which may cause serious injuries or even dea=
th. This will let you save a considerable sum in the long run.
Perhaps now you understand why your warehouse just can=E2=80=99t do without=
 a forklift camera. If you have any questions or want to know how you can g=
et it installed, we would be happy to help.
