Forklift Proximity Warning & Pedestrian Alert Systems
Improve site safety by making forklift operators aware of nearby hazards
To avoid such risk of collisions, we provide forklift proximity warning systems which can detect personnel and Materials Handling Equipment within pre-determined protection zones around vehicles, machines and hazardous areas. We offer two different proximity detection technologies:
- Ultra-Wideband (UWB) Systems
- Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) Systems
Both systems provide reliable detection in demanding warehouse environments – the right choice depends on your site layout and detection range requirements. Learn more about our proximity warning solutions below, or jump to a specific section:
Key Features
- Suitable for LPG, Diesel and Electric forklift trucks
- RFID variant provides a full 360-degree detection zone up to 10m around the vehicle
- UWB variant provides a full 360-degree detection zone up to 25m around the vehicle
- Optional features include cloud hosting, safety dashboards with notifications and building zones (available for RFID and UWB variants)
- Alerts the forklift driver of an approaching hazard and can work in partnership with another device, such as the Transmon Engineering Forklift Speed Control
- Logs detections – useful for post-incident investigations and near misses.
Benefits Of Proximity Warning Systems
- Increased site safety
- Improved operator efficiency and confidence
- Protection for pedestrians, assets and stock
- Not affected by bad weather or low lighting, where visual awareness is limited
- Suitable for forklifts and mobile plant equipment of any size, including Diesel, LPG and Battery-Powered variants
- 360-degree detection zones up to 25 metres

About Our Forklift Pedestrian Alert Systems
Forklift proximity warning systems are ideal for protecting pedestrians and preventing collisions in busy warehouse environments. Our solutions use advanced detection technology to alert forklift operators and pedestrians when they enter hazardous zones. Proximity warning systems can be combined with other Transmon products, such as speed control, impact detection, and collision avoidance for comprehensive site safety.
SiteZone RFID Proximity Warning System
Warehouses, production plants and loading yards are fast-paced working environments where it’s commonplace for forklifts and people to work in close proximity to each other. The 360° SiteZone RFID Proximity Warning System raises the level of safety by alerting drivers and pedestrians when they are working in close proximity to each other. Forklifts and mobile plant are outfitted with a vehicle kit; pedestrians wear lightweight tamperproof vibrating tags with belt-clip, helmet, armband, or lanyard wearable options.
Specification
- Detection range: 2-10 metres (configurable)
- 360° monitoring with automatic alerts for drivers and pedestrians
- Acoustic and visual driver alerts
- Pedestrian alerts by vibrating tags
- Second antenna option for large vehicles
- Designed for arduous site conditions
- Test station for pedestrian tag health checks
- Optional: creep speed with zone breaches, external alert beacons and sounders, cloud-hosted safety dashboards and reports
- Suitable for Diesel, LPG and Battery-powered Material Handling Equipment
EGOpro UWB Proximity Warning Systems
AME’s EGOpro is a highly accurate, versatile Ultra-Wideband system for warehouses, production plants and loading yard environments. The multifunctional 360° Proximity Warning System raises the level of safety by simultaneously alerting drivers and pedestrians when warning and danger protection zones are breached. Forklifts and mobile plant are outfitted with driver interface and antenna sets; pedestrians wear tamperproof rechargeable tags with visual and vibration alerts.
Specification
- Detection range: up to 25 metres (customisable warning and danger zones)
- 360° monitoring zone
- Tag options: belt-clip, helmet, armband, lanyard (rechargeable)
- Detection zones: vehicle-to-pedestrian, vehicle-to-vehicle, vehicle-to-building areas
- Configurable warning and danger zones
- Designed for arduous site conditions
- Three variants: EGOpro COMPACT (small forklifts, pallet trucks), EGOpro EASY (small-medium forklifts + building antennas), EGOpro AMESPHERE (medium-large forklifts, touchscreen display, cloud reporting)
- Optional: automatic speed reduction, lift height restrictions with zone breaches
How Our Forklift Proximity Warning Systems Work
Vehicle-Based Antenna System: Generates a 360˚ detection zone or bubble around the vehicle – zone sizes can be adjusted to meet the site’s requirements. The robust and field-proven design allows for easy mounting, single antenna options are suitable for most machines, and options for more antennas are available for larger equipment.
Operator Display Unit (ODU): Performs a range of functions, including alerting the machine operator to zone breaches and controlling authorised approaches. Different ODU options are available depending on vehicle type.
Personal Transponder Tags: Pedestrian Warning transponders are designed to be an integral part of personnel’s PPE. The transponders are available in a range of options, including a helmet-mounted vibrating version. Tags can provide wearers with vibration and visual alerts, with 3-year or rechargeable battery options.
Vehicle/Building Alarms and Beacons: Alarms and beacons heighten operator and pedestrian awareness when protection zones are breached. Building antennas help to increase doorway, blind spot and congested area safety. Activation of beacons, alarms and creep speed takes safety to an even higher level.
“As part of our continuing focus on improving site safety we approached Transmon and requested a demonstration of their ‘Pedestrian Warning System‘. After conducting extensive trials we purchased 5 of these systems for our yard based forklifts and side loaders.
I will certainly use Transmon again if there is a requirement to purchase any more of these systems”
