TRUCKSPOT LIGHT
A study by the Allianz Center for Technology (AZT) found that almost half of all parking and maneuvering accidents in German road traffic occur when reversing. The figures for forklifts are even more alarming: 55 percent of all accidents occur behind the vehicle. A reversing industrial truck is the number one reason for forklift accidents that cause injuries to people.
Narrow aisles, crossroads that are difficult to see and blind areas often make it difficult for pedestrians to see a reversing truck in time. Static warning signs increase caution and warn of possible dangers, but are not always an effective help in the specific situation. With the Linde TruckSpot, the industrial truck has its own warning sign with it at all times and everywhere, and thus defuses critical situations before they occur.
