Forklift Safety
Improve Operator Safety
Forklift Menu
Safety does not happen by accident. Whenever people, products, and machines are in close proximity, accidents are more likely to occur. Why not take all the precautions you can to prepare your warehouse for those inevitable “near misses”?
Mathand is happy to expand our Safety product offering to include Forklift Safety. If you have forklifts, take a look at these new products and see which best suits your needs.
Material Handling solutions aren’t always about storage – sometimes you have to take a step back from your Pallet Rack and make sure the working environment is safe.
Let us help you choose the right products and equipment to protect your most important asset – your people.
Playing it safe has never been more appropriate (or easier). Check out these products and our other Safety products located under the Protection/Safety section of our website.
Similar to a back up or safety light, the “Arrow Spotter” projects an arrow – either blue or red – 10 to 20 feet in front or behind the forklift. This gives additional warning when a truck is approaching to a pedestrian or another truck.

The Safe-Lite alerts pedestrians of forklifts approaching blind corners or entering and exiting trailers. The blue LED light is an intense warning that can be seen 10 to 20 feet ahead of the forklift. It can also be installed as a rear-facing light, or on any other piece of equipment.
