Forklift Tracking Without the Infrastructure: C5MI Partners With Slamcore
Real-time forklift tracking has traditionally required facilities to install supporting infrastructure. A new partnership between C5MI and Slamcore is taking a different approach by putting the positioning technology on the lift truck. C5MI and Slamcore have formed a partnership aimed at making real-time forklift tracking easier to deploy across existing material-handling fleets. Announced September 15, […]
Forklift Safety Moves Beyond the Warning Alarm
Forklift collision-warning technology is beginning to do more than alert an operator to an immediate hazard. Litum’s expanded PathAware platform is designed to turn those warnings and near misses into data that safety managers can act on. Litum has expanded its PathAware forklift collision-warning technology with two new versions designed to give safety managers a […]
Q&A with ELOKON North America president Alex Johns: The Convergence of Safety, Fleet Management and Autonomy
Forklifts no longer operate in isolation. On today’s warehouse and distribution floors, they’re increasingly sharing space with automated guided vehicles (AGVs), autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), and pedestrians, and the safety and fleet management technology built around them is converging to keep pace. To understand what that shift looks like on the ground, we sat down […]
Fall Protection in Forklift-Intensive Facilities: Designing Safety Around the Flow of Work
Fall protection in a busy warehouse involves more than guarding workers at height. Forklift traffic, elevated storage areas, loading docks, access openings, and falling objects can create interconnected risks. Here’s how facilities can build practical safeguards into the everyday flow of people and materials. Fall protection in a warehouse is easy to think of as […]
The Parable of the Woman Who Outdrove the Man: How World War II Proved Forklift Training Mattered More Than Gender
From the archives of The Palletizer, the U.S. Navy’s wartime materials handling magazine, a story that industry has largely forgotten. It took thirty seconds for the young man to get into a jam. He was at a U.S. wartime naval ammunition depot, tasked with something straightforward: drive a loaded fork truck across a loading platform, […]
What Are the Main Causes of Injuries When Using Forklifts?
Forklift tip-overs kill more operators than any other single type of accident. That number has not changed much in two decades, and the reasons are not difficult to find. The same causes keep showing up: operators who were not properly trained, machines that were not inspected, and workplaces that were not set up with forklift […]
Industrial Safety Gate Considerations for Mezzanines and Elevated Work Areas
With industrial real estate availability becoming increasingly tight, warehouses and industrial plants increasingly rely on mezzanines, elevated storage platforms, and loading areas to maximize usable space. While these structures postpone the urgency to move as businesses grow, they also introduce fall hazards that require careful planning and compliance with workplace safety regulations. One important element […]
RETEVIS RB48: Reliable Communication for Construction Teams

Efficient coordination can reduce delays, prevent accidents, and maintain productivity. RETEVIS RB48 Series radios are purpose-built for these challenges, offering rugged reliability, intuitive operation, and a proven track record in harsh industrial conditions. […]
What Is the Most Common Cause of a Forklift Accident?
Key Takeaways There is no single universal root cause of forklift accidents; most incidents involve a combination of operator actions, workplace conditions, loads, and equipment factors. Nonroadway motorized-vehicle incidents, including tip-overs and collisions, are among the leading fatal forklift event categories in U.S. injury data. Pedestrian strikes, falling loads, and falls from docks or platforms […]
