The right forklift safety system company is the one whose technology matches the hazards, trucks and people at your site and that can support it after installation; no company is right for every operation. Compare suppliers on detection method (camera AI, ultra-wideband tags, radar, magnetic field or a combination), whether they only warn or can also slow compatible forklifts, coverage of untagged visitors, false alert rate, reporting, retrofit support for your truck brands, service coverage and total cost per truck. Ask for a pilot with measurable targets before committing.
The full guide is Choosing a forklift safety system provider, which sets out the criteria and how named suppliers compare. Forklift safety system vendors compared and the vendor directory list suppliers by technology.
The stakes justify the effort: the National Safety Council counts 84 work-related deaths involving forklifts in 2024. Any system reduces risk rather than removing it, and it does not replace the training, inspection and operating rules in OSHA 1910.178. The risk scorer helps decide which hazards a system must cover first.
