What if reversing a forklift could be safer, smarter, and more efficient?
Restricted visibility when reversing is one of the most common causes of accidents in material handling environments. Counterbalanced forklifts reversing in tight spaces often face challenges such as blind spots, distracted operators and unpredictable obstacles. These risks can lead to costly collisions with pedestrians, racking, or other trucks.

A safer solution: The Linde Reverse Assist Radar
Linde Material Handling’s Reverse Assist Radar is an innovative safety system that actively detects and prevents collisions while reversing. It identifies both moving and stationary objects in the truck’s driving path and, if necessary, automatically applies the brakes to bring the forklift to a standstill. With warnings delivered via sound alerts and visual displays, operators can navigate with greater confidence and precision.
Advanced sensors for enhanced safety
The Linde Reverse Assist Radar uses cutting-edge sensors to monitor the rear driving path for obstacles, including pedestrians and stationary objects.
- Customisable detection range: The radar’s detection area is preset to match the truck’s width but can be adjusted to suit specific applications.
- Eliminates false alarms: Objects outside the driving path, such as goods stored in block warehouses, are ignored, ensuring the system only reacts to real dangers.
Intelligent intervention for immediate action
- The radar considers multiple factors, such as the truck’s speed, steering angle, lifting height, and distance to obstacles.
- With a braking force of up to 3m/s², the Linde Reverse Assist Radar reacts more strongly than other systems on the market, ensuring maximum safety.
- The system adapts braking behaviour to each situation, minimising risks while maintaining safety.
Multi-layered warnings: Alerting drivers before accidents happen
Warnings are delivered through a combination of sound and visual cues to ensure the operator is fully aware of imminent danger.
- Acoustic signals: A warning tone alerts the driver of a potential collision.
- Visual indicators: If the forklift is equipped with the optional 7” display, the system provides additional visual alerts, showing the driver where to focus attention.
Benefits at a glance:
- Automatically applies brakes to prevent collisions.
- Accurately identifies both moving and stationary hazards.
- Alerts operators to potential hazards with real time warnings.
- Adjusts braking response to avoid overcorrection.
- Ignores non-critical objects like shelving or stored goods.
- Offers flexible detection settings to minimise false alarms.
