About RZR Forklift Safety Light Lume di Sicurità per Carrelli Elevatori
U Lume di Sicurità RZR per Carrelli Elevatori hè un lume d'avertimentu è di travagliu cuncepitu per i carrelli elevatori in i magazzini. Quattru funzioni d'illuminazione sò cumbinate in un'unità cumpatta. I lumi di travagliu verticali cuprenu a zona da u pavimentu finu à u sufficu senza abbaglià i pedoni vicini. Un lume di trackingu nant'à u sufficu rende u carrellu elevatore in muvimentu visibile in a visione periferica. Una zona rossa d'avertimentu hè pruiettata nant'à u pavimentu davanti à u carrellu elevatore, è lumi stroboscopichi muntati in avanti dà avertimenti supplementari. L'unità usa 17 diodi elettroluminescenti (LED) è funziona da 9 à 80 volt. Parti in ottone è canali d'evacuazione di caldura gestiscenu a temperatura.

Behind the Design
Press Kit
Credits, team members and technical details provided by the designer.
- Unique Properties
- Four new and unique forklift lights in one: Vertical, floor to ceiling work lights that will not blind pedestrians & other staff, as compared to the until now,industry standard repurposed automotive style work lights. The light beam pattern works on the same plane as a forklift, up and down, not side to side. Ceiling tracking lights so the heavy, mobile forklift is easily visible in the pedestrians peripheral vision. Red warning area projected in front of the forklift. Forward mounted strobe lights.
- Dimensions & Packaging
- Multi-voltage from 9 to 80 volt to fit the various and non-standard industrial electronic requirements. 17 high efficiency , super bright light emitting diodes. Deutsche connector for universal power supply and the ability to mount on the forklift via industrial grade magnets or brackets.

- Production Technology
- The RZR Forklift Safety Light incorporates four never seen before LED lights and their related functionality. All in one unit. This marvel of optical engineering was made possible, aside from the vision of its designer, but also by the recent innovation of light beam modification and amplification via the uniquely shaped lenses.
Also prevalent in the design was the heat dissipation characteristics via strategically placed heat evacuation channels and the use of brass components internally because of its better thermal conductivity properties. - Design Challenge
- Knowing we had limited physical space on the forklift and limited power available was a very difficult challenge to overcome. However with the advent of stronger light emitting diodes, using less power and at the same time, the improved mass production capabilities of our magnification lenses being able to be housed in one single, compact housing and being priced extremely competitively, we were able to offer this industry changing light to our world wide customers.
- Research
- Created to fill a very needed space in the industrial world to help reduce deaths and life altering workplace injuries and at the same time, increase operator efficiencies with our vertical work lights, that cover the floor to the ceiling, the same area a forklift needs lighted. Historically, in the forklift world, repurposed automotive style lighting was used, which focused on the horizontal plane.
Design started in Toronto , Canada in fall 2018, with the final product being offered in the spring of 2020. - Inspiration
- Worldwide, forklifts are the leading cause of death & life changing grievous injuries in the workplace. Thousands die and tens of thousands are injured.
Studies have shown that ~ 30% of industrial accidents involve a forklift. They are extremely heavy,have limited visibility,maneuverability & move very quickly in busy warehouse environments,where unprotected pedestrians also work in very close proximity.
Our vision was to create a highly effective yet inexpensive product engineered to save lives, reduce workplace injuries and increase operator efficiencies. - Project Duration
- Originally conceptualized in Toronto, Canada during the fall of 2019, with a number of significant changes and improvements until it's unveiling at the MODEX material handling show in Atlanta in March of 2020, where it was met with great enthusiasm.
- Operation Flow
- This is a market changing safety light, where words are very difficult to describe what it does and the life saving benefits it offers. To truly understand and appreciate this revolutionary industrial forklift safety light, it is highly recommended that you see it in action, via our very informative video, filmed in an industrial warehouse. One light with 4 unique and new functions. Ceiling tracking light , forward warning red zone light, front mounted strobe light and vertical work lights.
