AI-powered insights for safer material handling operations

Automated, and wireless tracking and control for industrial vehicles and operators, that can seamlessly integrate with forklifts as a key part of your fleet intelligence system. Forklift Gateway helps enforce safety protocols, monitor operator activities, and track vehicle health in real-time, enabling safer, smarter, and more accountable operations.

Industrial truck fleet and operator management

• Supports driver authentication via nearly all wireless access control ID types and keypads
• Enforce configurable, multilingual electronic pre-use safety checklists
• Establish a connection with machine-learning impact sensors to detect and report damage
• Continuously monitor performance data to inform proactive maintenance and compliance
• Seamlessly integrate with optional external sensors including DVR, GPS, load and speed sensors, as well as Pedestrian Proximity Detection
• Seamlessly integrate with Unity, Powerfleet’s data platform, for centralized intelligence and reporting

An AI-powered pedestrian safety camera system that detects pedestrians and industrial vehicles in the path of travel – no wearables or special apparel needed. It alerts operators with real-time visual and audible warnings to help prevent collisions and reduce liability, while capturing event data for reporting and coaching through the Unity platform.

AI-enabled pedestrian and vehicle detection with real-time safety warning

• Uses automatic object detection – no special apparel or wearable tags needed
• Detects people and vehicles based on proximity and direction of travel
• Provides up to five proximity-based alert zones with escalating severity levels
• Delivers visual and audible risk notifications to operators in real-time
• When linked to the Forklift Gateway, event details such as breach location, time, and operator identification are captured
• Integrates with Unity, our SaaS-based AIoT platform for analysis, mapping, and safety insights

Speed Manager is an onboard device that automatically reduces forklift speed in response to safety-related events like impacts, pedestrian detection, or inspection failures. Acting as a smart throttle override, it helps prevent collisions, supports compliance, and improves safety—without affecting lifting performance or hydraulic operations.

Event-based, automatic Forklift speed control

• Reduce speed based on events like impacts, pedestrian detection, or safety checklist failures
• Receive inputs from the Forklift Gateway and connected sensors, including pedestrian detection
• Allows managers to configure two throttle speed levels based on event inputs.
• Control vehicle speed in both forward and reverse directions
• Designed for forklifts with electronically controlled (fly-by-wire) throttles
• Maintains normal hydraulic lifting functions without affecting performance

Powerfleet’s Digital Video Recorder captures critical video clips based on safety-related events like impacts, speeding, or policy violations. With continuous recording and up to four connected cameras, it enables rapid incident investigation, supports driver coaching, and helps reduce liability – whether you’re operating online or fully offline.

Looping DVR with event-triggered video clips

• Record event-triggered video clips for impacts, speeding, or unsafe behaviors
• Supports continuous looping and on-demand playback with wired remote
• Store up to 100 hours of footage via secure SD card (128GB max)
• Connect up to four cameras, including high-quality night vision with IR
• Operate offline or integrates with Unity for remote access and reporting
• Encrypted access and IP69K-rated cameras protect footage in harsh conditions

Prevent overloads, optimize logistics, and improve accuracy with on-board hydraulic weighing scales. Designed for tough material-handling environments, these scales support real-time weight tracking and help ensure compliance, reduce costly errors, and boost inventory precision across your forklift fleet.

On-board forklift hydraulic weighing scales

• Display load weight with waterproof LCD screen
• Prevent overloads and improves shipment weight accuracy
• Speed up operations with real-time onboard weighing
• Confirms lift truck capacity is not exceeded
• Supports Wi-Fi, printer, USB, and SD card
• Works in harsh environments
• Compatible with most forklift models

Increase workplace safety and avoid accidents with warning lights that project visible alerts around industrial vehicles and cranes. These easy-to-install lights increase visibility in noisy environments, reduce risk to pedestrians, and improve operational safety across your facility.

Pedestrian and vehicle safety warning lights and spotlight for forklifts and overhead cranes

• Create a bright LED safety zone around forklifts and other equipment
• Easily installs on forklifts, cranes, and tow tractors
• Available in red or blue for high visibility
• Adjustable bracket for flexible light placement
• Maxi model delivers extra brightness and range
• Also used for crane operator positioning and awareness
