Alerting pedestrians and operators
The Pedestrian Warning Band, the latest addition to Linde Material Handling’s innovative Safety Guard system, is designed to alert pedestrians and forklift operators to potential hazards in real time to reduce risks in material handling environments, whether indoors or outdoors. By issuing warnings through loud acoustic signals, flashing LEDs, or vibrations, this smart assistance system ensures swift reactions to avoid injuries and infrastructure damage.

In intralogistics and manufacturing settings, visibility and awareness are essential. Unfortunately, poor visibility, narrow aisles, and noisy surroundings — often the case in these environments — increase the risk of accidents. The Pedestrian Warning Band actively enhances situational awareness, making it easier for staff and operators to navigate these environments safely.

The Pedestrian Warning Band seamlessly integrates into Linde Material Handling’s Safety Guard system. By actively monitoring the surroundings of industrial trucks, providing warnings to operators and pedestrians, and identifying the direction of approaching hazards, it represents a vital step forward in fostering a safer and more efficient workplace.
