Comprehensive Forklift Safety That Sees It All
Forklift to Forklift
Forklifts often work in tight spaces with limited visibility, increasing safety risks. Litum’s system detects when forklifts come into dangerous proximity, and alerts drivers with real-time sound and visual cues, enabling timely action to help prevent accidents. Pro and Advanced options include slowdown and geofencing capabilities.
Forklift to Pedestrian
In shared workspaces, forklifts and pedestrians often come dangerously close. Litum’s system detects when a tagged pedestrian approaches a forklift, sending vibration alerts to the pedestrian and audiovisual warnings to the driver, enabling timely action to reduce risks. Advanced options include slowdown and geofencing capabilities.
Pedestrian to Crane
Cranes pose unique safety challenges due to their size and heavy loads, particularly in areas with pedestrian traffic. For crane operations, Litum’s system detects tagged pedestrians entering a crane’s operational zone. Pedestrians receive vibration alerts, while crane operators are notified with audiovisual warnings.
Forklift to Obstacle
In busy warehouses and industrial sites, unexpected obstacles, misplaced inventory, and fixed infrastructure increase collision risks. Litum’s system enhances forklift safety with adaptive proximity detection to identify and alert operators to objects in their path. Real-time proximity warnings enable timely corrective actions, helping prevent collisions.
Collision Warning, Adaptive Proximity Detection and Beyond
Litum’s forklift safety solutions are built to scale — starting with plug-and-play collision warnings and expanding into powerful tools for automation, visibility, and operational intelligence.
Our systems combine Ultra-Wideband (UWB) technology with adaptive proximity detection to help prevent collisions between forklifts, pedestrians, objects and infrastructure. Whether you prefer a tag-based setup or need tagless coverage in dynamic or high-traffic zones, Litum has you covered.
As your safety needs grow, our modular platform evolves with you — offering enhanced features like slowdown automation, zone-based control, and full RTLS integration for data-driven decision-making. From first install to full facility coverage, Litum helps you protect what matters most.
