Safer movement for people, vehicles and mobile equipment
Most industrial sites are not built around one vehicle type. They are active, changing environments where forklifts, pedestrians, contractors, delivery vehicles, plant equipment and specialist assets may all share space.
That creates daily risk.
Blind corners, reversing movements, loading areas, restricted visibility, yard traffic, pedestrian crossings and multi-vehicle routes all place pressure on operators and site teams. FTC Safety Solutions helps reduce that pressure with technology that improves awareness, reinforces safe behaviour and gives managers clearer insight into what is happening across the site.
Our work is not limited to forklift safety. FTC systems are used across a wide range of industrial vehicles and mobile equipment, including:
- Forklifts and warehouse trucks
- Reach trucks and pallet trucks
- Telehandlers
- Loading shovels
- Wheel loaders
- Terminal tractors
- Sweepers
- Construction plant
- Yard vehicles
- Specialist industrial assets
This breadth matters. Many businesses need one safety partner that can support today’s fleet and tomorrow’s fleet, regardless of vehicle type, manufacturer or operating environment.
OEM-agnostic safety systems for mixed fleets
FTC Safety Solutions is OEM-agnostic by design.
Our systems can be deployed across mixed fleets, multi-brand operations and multiple sites. That gives customers the flexibility to improve safety without being tied to one vehicle manufacturer, one fleet provider or one equipment type.
We regularly support vehicles from leading manufacturers including Hyster, Yale, Toyota, Crown, Raymond, Mitsubishi Logisnext, Jungheinrich, Bobcat, Clark, JCB and many others.
We also work closely with major dealer groups, fleet providers and national partners across both the UK and USA, including Briggs Equipment, Jofson, EQ Depot and other established industry partners.
For customers, this creates long-term confidence. If your fleet changes, expands or moves to new equipment in the future, FTC solutions can continue to support your operation.
Established in the United States and trusted across the Atlantic
FTC Safety Solutions Inc is a fully established US business with its own office, inventory, support structure and nationwide installation capability.
That means US customers are supported by a dedicated team with local knowledge, while also benefiting from the wider experience, product development and technical expertise of an established safety solutions provider operating across both sides of the Atlantic.
FTC is not simply a UK company supplying into America. We are an established business in both the UK and the USA, supporting customers with practical, site-specific industrial vehicle safety solutions.
From single-site improvements to national rollouts, our team can help assess your risks, recommend suitable technology and support installation across your fleet.
Trusted by leading businesses across industry
FTC Safety Solutions has worked with organisations across warehousing, manufacturing, construction, logistics, food and beverage, automotive, infrastructure, ports, heavy industry and specialist fleet operations.
Our experience includes work with businesses such as JCB, Diageo, Aston Martin, IAG, Nucor Steel, Tesla, Amcor, MiTek, HON Furniture, DFDS, Perkins Engines and Plantforce, amongst many others.
This breadth of experience is important. A warehouse pedestrian safety system may need to solve a very different problem from a quarry vehicle warning system, a construction plant safety system or a multi-site forklift telematics rollout. FTC understands those differences and can recommend systems around the way your operation actually works.

Safety solutions built around your site
There is no single product that solves every industrial vehicle safety challenge.
Some sites need camera-based pedestrian detection. Others need UWB proximity alerts, vehicle-to-vehicle warnings, forklift telematics, active reversing systems, speed zoning, access control or visual warning devices. Many sites need a combination.
FTC helps you select the right technology for your vehicles, routes, risk areas and operating conditions.
AI pedestrian detection camera systems
FTC’s AI pedestrian detection camera systems help operators identify people in high-risk areas around forklifts, plant and industrial vehicles.
Using Human Form Recognition, the system is designed to detect people rather than general objects. It can help improve operator awareness in environments where pedestrians may not be wearing tags or where visibility changes throughout the day.
Depending on the vehicle and risk profile, systems can be configured with multiple cameras, in-cab alerts, optional external warnings, event recording and cloud-based analytics.
These systems are suitable for:
- Forklift pedestrian detection
- Industrial vehicle pedestrian detection
- Warehouse pedestrian safety
- Loading and unloading areas
- Mixed pedestrian and vehicle routes
- Sites where tag-based detection may not be suitable for every person
UWB proximity warning systems
FTC’s Fleet Aware 2.0 system uses Ultra-Wide Band technology to create configurable warning zones around vehicles, pedestrians and high-risk areas.
This makes it particularly useful where people and vehicles work close together, where visibility is restricted or where sites need clear warnings around blind corners, intersections, doorways or shared routes.
Fleet Aware 2.0 can support:
- Forklift proximity warning
- Vehicle-to-pedestrian alerts
- Vehicle-to-vehicle alerts
- Zone-based warnings
- Blind corner risk reduction
- Optional vehicle slowdown
- Cloud-based reporting and analytics
For sites with mixed fleets, Fleet Aware 2.0 can be configured around a wide range of vehicles and equipment, helping create a more consistent approach to proximity warning across the operation.
Forklift and industrial vehicle telematics
FTC’s Optafleet telematics platform gives fleet managers better visibility of vehicle use, operator behaviour and safety-critical events.
The system can support access control, driver identification, pre-use checks, impact monitoring, utilisation reporting, real-time tracking and cloud-based fleet analytics.
Optafleet is especially useful for businesses that need greater control over multi-site fleets, mixed assets or high-use material handling equipment.
Optafleet can help with:
- Forklift fleet management
- Industrial vehicle telematics
- Operator access control
- Pre-use inspection checks
- Impact event reporting
- Fleet utilisation
- Driver accountability
- Site-level and group-level reporting
For growing businesses, telematics also helps create a clearer picture of how vehicles are being used, where risks are occurring and where operational improvements can be made.
Active reversing and camera radar systems
Reversing remains one of the most challenging movements for industrial vehicle operators, particularly in busy warehouses, loading bays, yards, ports and construction environments.
FTC active reversing systems combine detection technology, camera visibility and visual or audible alerts to help operators identify hazards earlier.
These systems can be configured for a wide range of vehicles, including forklifts, loading shovels, wheel loaders, terminal tractors, telehandlers and construction plant.
They are suitable for:
- Reversing forklift safety
- Yard vehicle safety
- Loading bay safety
- Construction plant safety
- Ports and logistics environments
- Industrial vehicles operating with restricted rear visibility
Speed zoning, access control and visual warning systems
Some areas of a site need additional controls to reinforce safer movement.
FTC can support sites with speed zoning, access control, safety lights, warning projectors and other visual safety systems that help improve awareness around high-risk routes and restricted areas.
These systems can be used around:
- Pedestrian crossings
- Doorways
- Blind corners
- Loading areas
- Yard entrances
- Production areas
- Restricted zones
- High-traffic warehouse routes
Used alongside pedestrian detection, proximity warning or telematics, these systems help create a more complete safety strategy across the site.
Site safety reviews and consultancy
The best industrial vehicle safety system starts with understanding your operation.
FTC Safety Solutions can review your site layout, vehicle movements, pedestrian routes, high-risk areas and existing controls before recommending suitable improvements.
This consultative approach helps ensure that the chosen system fits the site rather than forcing the site to fit the system.
A site safety review can help identify:
- Pedestrian and vehicle interaction points
- Blind corners and restricted visibility
- Reversing risks
- Speed control requirements
- Vehicle access control needs
- High-risk zones
- Multi-site consistency issues
- Opportunities for better reporting and monitoring
Following the review, FTC can recommend practical next steps, from quick improvements through to wider fleet safety programmes.
Why FTC is the safer long-term choice
Choosing an industrial vehicle safety system is not only about solving today’s problem. It is about choosing a partner and platform that can continue to support your business as your fleet, sites and risks change.
FTC Safety Solutions gives customers confidence through:
- OEM-agnostic systems that work across mixed fleets
- Support for forklifts, plant, yard vehicles and specialist industrial assets
