More than 50% of accidents involving forklifts and pedestrians occur when the forklift is reversing. This is because pedestrians assume that the person driving the forklift can always see them, which is not always true.

Linde Motion Detection is another building block in Linde's comprehensive safety portfolio. The system can be retrofitted in counterbalance forklifts to detect movement, thus preventing accidents with people and other forklifts in hazardous areas.

1. The assistance system detects movements and alerts the driver to danger with a warning on a display mounted inside the cabin.
2. The system prevents the forklift from moving if it detects movement while the truck is stationary.
3. An audible signal also alerts the pedestrian.
4. To continue driving after the warning is issued, the driver must return the accelerator pedal to the starting position."
