RZR Forklift Safety Light

Reduce Deadly Workplace Accidents

Worldwide, forklifts are the leading cause of death and life-changing injuries in the workplace. Thousands die and tens of thousands are injured. Our vision was to create a highly effective yet inexpensive product engineered to save lives, reduce workplace injuries, and increase operator efficiencies.

Four new and unique forklift lights in one: Vertical, floor to ceiling work lights that will not blind pedestrians and other staff, as compared to the until now, industry-standard repurposed automotive-style work lights. The light beam pattern works on the same plane as a forklift, up and down, not side to side. Ceiling tracking lights so the heavy, mobile forklift is easily visible in the pedestrians' peripheral vision. Red warning area projected in front of the forklift. Forward-mounted strobe lights.

The RZR Forklift Safety Light incorporates four never-seen-before LED lights and their related functionality. All in one unit. This marvel of optical engineering was made possible, aside from the vision of its designer, but also by the recent innovation of light beam modification and amplification via the uniquely shaped lenses. Also prevalent in the design was the heat dissipation characteristics via strategically placed heat evacuation channels and the use of brass components internally because of its better thermal conductivity properties.

Multi-voltage from 9 to 80 volts to fit the various and non-standard industrial electronic requirements. 17 high-efficiency, super bright light-emitting diodes. Deutsche connector for universal power supply and the ability to mount on the forklift via industrial-grade magnets or brackets.

This is a market-changing safety light, where words are very difficult to describe what it does and the life-saving benefits it offers. To truly understand and appreciate this revolutionary industrial forklift safety light, it is highly recommended that you see it in action, via our very informative video, filmed in an industrial warehouse. One light with 4 unique and new functions. Ceiling tracking light, forward warning red zone light, front-mounted strobe light, and vertical work lights.

Originally conceptualized in Toronto, Canada during the fall of 2019, with a number of significant changes and improvements until its unveiling at the MODEX material handling show in Atlanta in March of 2020, where it was met with great enthusiasm.

Created to fill a very needed space in the industrial world to help reduce deaths and life-altering workplace injuries and at the same time, increase operator efficiencies with our vertical work lights, that cover the floor to the ceiling, the same area a forklift needs lighted. Historically, in the forklift world, repurposed automotive-style lighting was used, which focused on the horizontal plane. Design started in Toronto, Canada, in the fall of 2018, with the final product being offered in the spring of 2020.

Knowing we had limited physical space on the forklift and limited power available was a very difficult challenge to overcome. However, with the advent of stronger light-emitting diodes, using less power and at the same time, the improved mass production capabilities of our magnification lenses being able to be housed in one single, compact housing and being priced extremely competitively, we were able to offer this industry-changing light to our worldwide customers.

Forklifts have been around for many decades and have seen upgrades in their technology, yet forklift safety and operational lighting have remained somewhat in the dark ages. All that has changed with the introduction of the most advanced Forklift and Pedestrian Safety Warning Light on the market. The new RZR incorporates the most recent advancements in LED Digital Technology and Magnetic Components that will help protect Forklift Operators and any pedestrians in the busy warehouse environment. Featuring 4 new and unique lights in one. An incredible marvel of modern optical engineering.
