A Forklift operator not seeing who is and is not behind him or her is one of the most common causes of warehouse injuries.
Mirrors located on a Forklift can dramatically reduce the amount of work related accidents due to the driver of the forklift not seeing who is behind them.
Security mirrors can be purchased to increase the range of sight behind the forklift at all times. These units are universal, so the mounts can be added to any manufacturer brand of forklift. There are two different styles of forklift mirrors, the round safety mirror and the rectangle safety mirror.
The round safety mirror can be installed on either side of the forklift to eliminate the blind spot. These mirrors are 8 inches in diameter and work like the side mirrors on a vehicle with much more area being reflected for the driver. The rectangular forklift mirrors are installed in much the same manner as the vehicle rear view mirror. The universal bracket included with the mirror needs only to be screwed into the frame of the forklift and installation is complete.
The small cost a forklift mirror imposes on a company is well worth the money that could be saved if injury were to occur. Increase the safety of innocent bystanders, employees and the forklift driver with security mirrors created for forklifts.
