CASE «The system for providing safety storage operations by light signaling»

Risks of service and maintenance personnel can be minimized by warning light signaling. According to statistics about 19% of the total number of accidents in warehouses and factories are caused by lack of light warning signaling.

Injuries and accidents caused by collision with fork-lifts are usually due to:

«Problem - solution»

Blue spot safety light allows a person in the area of working fork-lifts to notice the movement of equipment, even located outside the field of vision, to estimate the distance, speed, direction of movement, to leave the dangerous zone or take other action to ensure security.

High efficiency of Fork-lift safety lights is connected not only with the direct impact on the visual channel, but also with the peculiarities of human peripheral vision

Improper work organizing;

Lack of warning signaling; Limited vision in warehouses;

Increased noise level distracting the

personnel’s attention;

The use of noise-canceling earphones, or personal audio-players and mobile phones.

Fork-lifts over speed.

Specificity

Blue spot light for Forklift provides a focused beam of light projected onto the surface a few meters from the warehouse equipment in the direction of movement.

has a wide range of operating temperatures, voltages, humidity and reliable protection, so it can be used in various environments.

Forklift blue safety lights provide signaling in conditions where vibration, aggressive environment and indicators of shock conditions are above the accepted norms.

Forklift safety lights blue is used to provide safe for-lifts exploitation.

The spotlight with power consumption only 3 watt and one LED provides a clear spot at different distances more than 50 cm. In comparison, other devices ensure a clear spot only at a distance of 2-4 meters. The clear edges of the light spot guarantee the safety of workers in dangerous areas.

Having no visual contact with a fork-lift workers are being warned of the vehicle approach.

Blue led spotlight for Forklift complies to requirements of protection class IP66.

Reducing injuries during storage operations is a complex problem to be solved by the use of additional technical devices. Forklift safety light is a product ensuring the safety of warehouse personnel.

Blue Spot safety particular qualities:Cree LEDs are used in Blue safety light. A specially designed driver provides: protection of the chip from overheat - when

the threshold is exceeded the driver is automatically turned off, thereby protecting from burning out the electronics and LED;

protection against short electrical pulses - at start or change of the operating mode of the fork-lift the on-board network runs a milliseconds long current pulse of up to 250 volts. Implementation of surge protection helps to minimize the risk of equipment failure and provides durability of operation;

minimum ratio of luminous flux pulsations (0,95)

Wide range of working temperatures (-20°С to +40°С)

Advantages of Blue Spot safety series: characterized by minimal ripple (less

than 5%, which corresponds to the regulations in children, health care);

has a low weight - 640 grams, which minimizes vibration and provides long-lasting operation of the equipment and stable direction of the luminous flux;

has the original design of the bracket with 4 degrees of freedom, which allows a flexible setting of the light flow;

has a large working distance range (from 0.5 m to 100 m.) at which the required beam focusing and the necessary light output keep unchanged;

Complies to IP66 which allows the use at any weather conditions.

Relevance of lighting at fork-lifts operating

ОСНОВНЫЕ ПРИЧИНЫ НЕСЧАСТНЫХ СЛУЧАЕВ Improper work organizing; Lack of warning signaling; Increased noise level distracting the personnel’s

attention; The use of noise-canceling earphones or

personal audio-players and mobile phones; Fork-lifts over speed.

RISKS OF LIFTING MECHANISMS OPERATION: unexpected movement; collision or falling of the cargo; limited visibility zone of warehouses; forklifts collision with people and vehicles; loss of stability of the truck; sudden braking or starting off.

Work in warehouses is often accompanied by injuries or other damage to health of employees. Part of injuries is caused by careless use of lifting and transport mechanisms that are present in any warehouse. Particular attention should be paid to the area of operation of fork-lifts: except the danger of uncontrolled movement of the loads there is the danger of a collision with a person or another fork-lift.
