If there is one recurring cause of work accidents involving the use of forklifts, it is undoubtedly speeding.
Speed plays a crucial role in both pedestrian accidents and collisions, something that should not be overlooked. For this reason, Claitec has developed the LSA (Low Speed Area) solution, designed to regulate speed in high-risk areas where it could trigger accidents.
With years of operation, the LSA system has proven its effectiveness through the results and the positive response of our satisfied customers. It is a precise, easy-to-install system that does not require direct intervention by the driver, as it operates autonomously thanks to motion sensors.
The LSA solution is specially designed to adapt to different work environments, knowing that each one has its unique structure. Claitec has devised different ways to implement this solution in environments such as warehouses, factories, or loading docks, among others.
The LSA System is installed using brackets containing a reflective strip that interacts with a sensor installed on the forklift. These brackets are strategically placed in the areas where it is desired to regulate speed, either suspended from the ceiling by cables or fixed to the wall.
When the vehicle equipped with the LSA system drives through the controlled area, the sensor detects the reflective strips, reducing the speed of the forklift in the previously defined area.
This system is also applicable in loading docks or similar environments where it is necessary to control the speed of vehicles during manoeuvres. In these cases, the reflective strips are installed on the forklift itself, and the control unit and motion sensor in the corresponding place, such as on the side of the dock door. This way, as the vehicle drives through the specified area, it is detected, allowing its speed to be controlled, and preventing accidents commonly caused by rushing during loading or unloading operations..
As you can see, the LSA solution is an essential ally in preventing accidents related to speeding. In addition, it can be complemented with other systems developed by Claitec, such as traffic control (TCS) or our visualisation system (VAS).
We invite you to learn more about this and other safety solutions and encourage you to contact us for any questions or concerns. The team of experts at Claitec will be happy to assist you.
