The LED lights can be easily
retrofitted to any warehouse
machine to create a 3600 line
of bright red light around
the machine which acts as a
pedestrian warning system.
The customisable adjustable
red ‘Safety Halo Zone’ clearly
defines the danger zone
between the forklift or other
warehouse machine and a
pedestrian.
The bright red ‘Safety Halo’
enables pedestrians in the warehouse
to easily see the operating zone around
a moving warehouse vehicle, to show
pedestrians where they are not allowed.
Companies can set individual and specific
‘No Go Zone’ or ‘Safety Halo Zone'
distance, typically between one and two
metres from the forklift.
The ‘Safety Halo’ can be used on any type
of forklift including sit downs, stand ups,
tuggers, or man up forklifts, like order
pickers and turret trucks, among other
machines.
The ‘Safety Halo’ can be used on any fuel
type machine including, but not limited to

Ultimate LED has developed a new ‘Safety Halo’ system of red light to create a defined
‘No Go Zone’ around any warehouse machine in any materials handling application.
propane, gas, diesel, natural gas, electric.
The LED lights have a low power draw
and in most cases, do not require extra
wiring. They are easy to install which can
be done by a forklift company or any auto
electrician.
While the ‘Safety Halo’ system is
weatherproof and can be taken outside,
the lights are most effective in a
warehouse or indoor environment.
The ‘Safety Halo’ system will be most
effective outside during dusk, dawn or at
night.
Ultimate LED’s red ‘Safety Halo’ will help
prevent foot injuries and collisions from
rear end swing on mobile warehouse
machinery, as well as improve overall
warehouse pedestrian safety.

Yale Pacific, General Manager, Ian Neilson
said Curve Assist automatically reduces
truck speed based on the load and steer
angle it detects.
“A standard synchronous steering
function ensures the steering wheel
always returns to the same ideal position
for forward driving after a turn. The
new forklift trucks feature regenerative
braking, which harnesses energy during
braking cycles and channels it to the
battery. This coupled with the high
quality battery provides operating life of
up to 8.5 hours in standard performance
mode and 9.5 hours in economy mode,”
Ian said.
“The FB Series benefits from a mast
design that provides a generous
clearance between the hoist chains for
greater visibility.
“The drop battery box layout makes
servicing and maintaining the new
Yale forklift more efficient by providing
improved accessibility. A horizontal
battery extraction option is also available
if required.
“A refined operator compartment delivers
New electric forklifts deliver performance and comfort
Yale has released the FB15-35RZ Series electric counterbalanced forklift truck, featuring a
cornering speed control system dubbed ‘Curve Assist’ and a raised steer axle, to provide a
stable driving environment.
excellent driver comfort and provides
easy ingress and egress from the
forklift. An easy-to-use interactive dash
display clearly shows the most relevant
information on the forklift’s operating
status.
“The FB Series includes a travel and
hydraulic Interlock system that disables
the truck’s functions if the seatbelt is
removed by the driver or if he or she
leaves the seat.
"Other safety benefits include an optional
Blue Pedestrian Awareness Light (PAL)
that alerts pedestrians and users of other
equipment that a forklift is operating in
their area,” Ian said.
The new Yale FB Series electric forklift
range comprises seven models, with
capacities ranging from 1500kg to 3500kg
and with a variety of lift heights and fork
spreads. There are also three wheelbase
options and a range of turning radiuses.
Options are available to customise the
operator compartment, tyre set-up,
transmission and hydraulic control,
lights and warning equipment, front
end configuration as well as truck
construction (freezer or corrosion).
An optional IPX4 rating which protects
the truck and electrical components from
water ingress and consequential damage
also makes the new FB range suitable for
both indoor and outdoor use.
