VETTER adds safe & smart technologies in its SmartFork

The VETTER SmartFork is the ideal forklift driver assistance for easy and effective loading, reduced damage, and fewer accidents, including integrated camera and sensor technology.

The smart support of the fork technologies opens up new possibilities for the logistics industry's sustainable and safe usage of industrial vehicles.

With the sensor for SmartFork, industrial truck safety and efficiency are elevated to new heights.

The SmartFork FrontCam helps the driver get a clear vision of everything in front of the lift truck.

The picture from the fork cameras is sent to the display in the driver's cab, which helps to detect people early and reduces harm.

The SmartFork SideCam is a camera system partially built into the side of the fork blade.

During loading and unloading, both forks are shown on a monitor in the driver's cab, and the driver gets a view along with the forks.

It makes loading loads safer, especially in high-rack warehouses. The amount of damage that occurs during the entering procedure is significantly decreased.

As practice has shown, precise entrance into pallet pockets is easier said than done. With the SmartFork laser, load pick-up is made easier, more efficient, and safer.

The strong line laser is installed directly in the fork tip and displays a horizontal line on the load carrier that is easily visible. The forklift driver can determine the right height and position when entering the load carrier.

The smart sensors' incorporation into the AGV's fork is a decisive measure for defined and safe load handling and detection. The Vetter SmartFork provides sophisticated and customised solutions for equipping AGVs with innovative sensor technology in the fork and customising them to fit various needs.

AGVs are often integrated with all-around sensors to monitor the surroundings. These are mainly utilised as a safety device to identify people or objects in a defined environment and stop the gadget's operation in the case of emergencies.

Environment monitoring must be turned off to create a safe loading during the actual loading procedure.

However, VETTER has built-in light sensors incorporated into the fork, which are then activated to notice things like wood splints or damaged parts of the pallets, ensuring safe AGV operation in precisely this case.

Moreover, these sensors in the fork also detect the end of the load carrier as it enters, ensuring safe and damage-free loading.

The sensor also detects a suitable load pick-up to guarantee that carried products do not move on or even slip off the fork.

Each represented SmartFork application can be integrated with other assistance systems from the SmartFork variety and offer several benefits for the forklift driver.

The integration of smart sensors improves safety and productivity. Therefore, it also saves time and money and decreases the workload.
