Our dedication to excellence is reflected in our achievement of TUV certification and ISO accreditation. These internationally recognised standards demonstrate our rigorous approach to quality management, product safety, and operational reliability.

TUV certification shows that our products have undergone thorough independent testing and comply with stringent safety and performance criteria. Meanwhile, our ISO accreditation guarantees consistency, traceability, and continual improvement throughout our manufacturing processes.

Every product undergoes a comprehensive and meticulous testing process to ensure it meets our stringent standards for safety, performance, and reliability. From initial design through to final assembly, our in-house team employs a series of rigorous quality assurance procedures.

These tests allow us to validate that each solution operates effectively under the demanding conditions typical of materials handling environments and is fit-for-purpose to meet the customers’ needs.

Among the various approaches available, automatic speed reduction systems offer the highest level of safety. These systems automatically reduce forklift speed in designated areas, such as pedestrian crossings, narrow aisles, tight corners, or busy work zones, significantly lowering the risk of collisions.

The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) provides clear guidance on recommended speed limits within industrial settings, typically ranging from 2 to 8mph, emphasising the importance of setting and enforcing appropriate limits to protect both drivers and pedestrians.

For more detailed information on specific HSE speed recommendations, please read our forklift speed guide.

Transmon Engineering’s safety-enhancing solutions are designed for universal compatibility. This ensures seamless integration with all major forklift brands, including Linde, Toyota, Jungheinrich, Crown, Hyster, and Mitsubishi, among others.

Our systems are engineered to work reliably across diverse fleets, whether your equipment is powered by diesel, LPG, or electric.

All Transmon systems have been specifically developed with retrofit compatibility in mind. Our solutions are engineered to ensure straightforward installation not only on the latest forklift models but also on older equipment, allowing you to enhance your existing fleet’s safety without the need for significant upgrades or new vehicle purchases.

We offer a selection of products designed to integrate seamlessly with legacy forklifts, including those with unique electrical or mechanical configurations. This means you can benefit from advanced safety features regardless of the age or make of your vehicles.

The time required to install our safety systems can vary depending on several factors, including the specific product selected, the type of forklift, the workplace environment, and the overall size of your fleet. In some cases, our solutions offer straightforward, customer-led installation, allowing you to equip your vehicles quickly and efficiently without specialised assistance.

We provide ongoing technical support for all TE-branded products, with our team also available to assist with any adjustments or troubleshooting, such as fine-tuning proximity warning ranges after installation. This ensures your system continues to perform optimally and adapts to your operational needs over time.

If your working environment has significant blind spots, a proximity warning system is recommended to enhance safety by helping to detect nearby obstacles or personnel. Where visibility around the forklift is clear, a camera system can provide valuable visual support for operators. Choosing the right solution depends on your site layout and operational requirements, with some settings benefiting from both technologies for comprehensive coverage.
