Thanko Launches High-Brightness 20W Green LED Safety Light for Forklift Near-Miss Prevention

Thanko Inc. (Location: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Taichi Arai) launched the 'Forklift Safety Circle Light High-Brightness 20W Model LED Green' on May 18. The product is available at Thanko's official online store, authorized dealers, and various e-commerce sites.

This product is an aftermarket LED safety light designed to prevent forklift contact accidents in warehouses and factories. To prevent collisions with pedestrians, which represent approximately 66% of forklift accidents, it projects a vivid green curved light onto the ground to intuitively signal a vehicle's approach. While conventional red warning lights are often overlooked due to habituation, the brilliant green light from four 5W high-brightness LEDs remains conspicuous even in bright work environments, contributing significantly to safety measures against near-miss incidents from blind spots.

The unit is fixed using a powerful magnetic mount, allowing for easy installation without drilling holes in the vehicle's metal body. Supporting a wide voltage range from DC12V to 110V, it is compatible with almost all forklifts. It is an ideal solution for those looking to ensure worker safety and reduce accident risks within their facilities.
