Forklift Collision Avoidance Systems
At Transmon Engineering, we specialise in identifying and deploying the most appropriate Forklift Collision Avoidance System, which is based on the individual application and customer requirements. We understand that every operation faces unique challenges, which is why our forklift collision avoidance solutions are tailored to address specific site risks, pedestrian patterns, and operational demands across different operational environments.
Our standard forklift collision avoidance system is one of the most advanced on the market, whilst still being simple to install – an active system that operates purely through the accelerator system rather than complex hydraulic arrangements. Our current system will slow the truck down when a hazard is detected and ultimately stop them, functioning in both forward and reverse directions.
How Our Forklift Collision Avoidance Systems Work
Our collision avoidance system continuously monitors the area around your forklift truck. When a hazard is detected – whether a person, object, or another vehicle – the system intervenes through the truck’s existing accelerator controls to reduce the forklift’s speed.
When an object is detected, the system automatically reduces speed through engine management or can bring the truck to a complete stop. This approach eliminates the complexity and cost of hydraulic brake systems whilst maintaining effective collision prevention. At the heart of the collision avoidance system is our iTEch forklift speed controller. This is the intelligent control unit that manages the truck’s speed in response to detected hazards.
The system works in both forward and reverse directions – a significant advancement from earlier reverse-only systems. Hazards are detected through either advanced forklift camera systems or proximity warning technology, depending on your specific requirements and site conditions. More information on the detection solutions is provided below, but we recommend both systems for maximum protection – cameras covering the most dangerous areas if someone isn’t wearing their proximity tag.
Benefits of Forklift Collision Avoidance Systems
- Improves site safety
- Enhances driver confidence
- Ideal for almost any type of forklift truck and materials handling vehicle
- Protection for pedestrians, assets and stock
- Ideal for inside and outside usage
- Reduced damage and wear to vehicles

Advanced Sensor Fusion
We’ve developed what we call sensor fusion – a method of combining data from multiple detection systems to work together rather than independently. For example, we might combine camera-based detection for visual confirmation with proximity warning technology for consistent personnel tracking, creating a comprehensive safety solution that adapts to your site’s unique operational demands.
Our Hazard Detection Solutions
Transmon’s collision avoidance systems use multiple detection technologies to identify pedestrians, objects, and other vehicles around your forklift. We can deploy camera systems, proximity warning technology, or both depending on your operational requirements. The detection system integrates seamlessly with our iTEch speed controllers to provide automatic speed reduction or emergency stopping when hazards are identified.
Camera-Based Detection System
Our camera-based detection system provides visual hazard identification using multiple cameras positioned around the forklift truck. The system monitors blind spots and high-risk areas, automatically triggering speed reduction when pedestrians or objects are detected. Cameras are particularly effective in open warehouse environments and provide operators with visual confirmation of detected hazards. The system can distinguish between different types of obstacles and provides graduated response based on proximity and risk level.
Proximity Warning Detection System
The proximity warning system uses transponder technology to detect personnel and other equipped vehicles within configurable detection zones around your forklift. Each person carries a tag that communicates their location and status – whether they’re operating equipment or working as a pedestrian. The system provides precise directional information and logs all detection events for safety analysis. This technology works in all weather conditions and provides 360-degree protection, making it ideal for environments where consistent tag compliance can be maintained.
