The Crossing Guard is used to prevent collisions or similar work accidents at the intersections of warehouses or industrial spaces. It protects forklift operators and drivers in these areas, which frequently record safety incidents.
This system has been specifically developed to be used in warehouses, loading docks or industrial spaces with hazardous intersections, and where operators and loading machinery tend to converge.
When the vehicle or person approaches the intersection area it receives a visual alert from the traffic lights and the projection via the Bluespot or the VAS projector indicating whether or not he or she has permission to cross the intersection. The Crossing Guard system uses radar technology capable of differentiating persons from vehicles and identifying whether a forklift is approaching an intersection or if it is moving away from it.

FAQs
A Crossing Guard Safety Device, also called the Safe-T Signal, is a radar based warning system that prevents collisions at hazardous intersections inside warehouses and industrial spaces. It alerts forklift operators and pedestrians with traffic lights and a floor projection before they cross a blind intersection.
The Crossing Guard system uses radar technology that can tell the difference between a person and a vehicle and can determine whether a forklift is approaching or moving away from an intersection. This allows it to trigger the correct warning signal only when there is an actual crossing risk.
The Crossing Guard Safety Device is designed for four way, three way, and two way intersections commonly found in warehouses and loading docks. It can be configured with 2, 3, or 4 traffic lights depending on how many approach paths need coverage.
The Bluespot or VAS projector displays a visual signal on the floor near the intersection, showing an approaching vehicle or pedestrian whether they have permission to cross. This floor level projection works alongside the traffic lights to give a second, highly visible warning cue.
The Crossing Guard Safety Device is ceiling mounted using a standard three quarter inch rigid conduit, with an optimal mounting height between 10 feet and 16 feet. This overhead placement keeps the radar sensor and lights clear of forklift traffic while covering the full intersection area.
The Crossing Guard Safety Device uses a robust aluminum structure designed to withstand the heavy use and vibration typical of active warehouse and loading dock environments. This construction supports long term reliability in demanding industrial settings.
Yes, the Crossing Guard system works well alongside other visibility and detection equipment such as a Forklift Blue Spot Light or a Kill Zone Light for layered intersection safety. Combining overhead radar detection with vehicle mounted warning lights helps cover both the intersection and the vehicle’s immediate surroundings.
