Forklift cameras given wider angle

Camera solutions should be used to reduce excess expenditure from damage to stock, racking and forklift trucks themselves, as well as improving safety and efficiency, according to supplier Transmon Engineering.

The company’s Vision Savure camera and monitor system can be fitted to any forklift truck and can be located in various positions. It also features an automatic iris which compensates for any change in lighting conditions.

Images are sent to a 7″ flat screen monitor, located within the cab, which allows the operator to easily make adjustments to his or her lifting or reversing directions.

“Typically cameras have been used in cold store, high bay operations or for high and awkward loads, but it is becoming more popular as the technology becomes available to everyone,” said Paul Sercombe of Leicester-based Transmon Engineering.
