Preventing Forklift Collisions & Enhancing Safety
With thousands of forklift accidents each year causing damage, disrupting business operations and worker injuries and compensation – it’s crucial to convey the importance the business puts on safety and safe forklift operating principles.
This system protects overhead doors, low overhead passageways and virtually any overhead fixture such as pallet racks, lifts, walls, sprinklers, conveyors, catwalks and chemical lines. A low clearance alarm bar that warns forklift operators and management of potential collisions between forklifts and overhead doors and fixtures before they happen.

1. Flashing lights (with protective guards)
Red lights activate on impact for a user adjustable time of either 4 or 8 seconds
2. Impact resistant ABS tubing
Safety yellow ABS tubing resists fading and cracking and is far more durable than PVC.
3. Easy installation
Comes pre-assembled with ceiling mount cable connection – units are hung from above using aircraft cable (not supplied)

Frequently asked questions
How does the Low Doorway Alert System work?
The system uses flashing red lights and a loud alarm to warn forklift operators when they are approaching low-clearance areas. The alert is triggered by impact, notifying the operator of a potential collision with overhead doors, pallet racks, or other overhead fixtures.
What type of areas is the Low Doorway Alert System used in?
The system is ideal for use in distribution centers, warehouses, manufacturing facilities, parking structures, and other areas with forklifts operating near overhead fixtures. It helps prevent accidents in high-traffic, confined, or complex environments.
What kind of alarms does the system have?
The Low Doorway Alert System features a highly audible 105-decibel alarm that activates on impact. The alarm duration is adjustable between 4 or 8 seconds, ensuring the operator has enough time to react.
How long do the batteries last in the battery-powered version?
The battery-powered version uses standard alkaline batteries, which last approximately 2 years. A low battery “chirp” alerts operators when it’s time to replace the batteries, similar to a smoke detector.
