Forklift Speed Limiter – Safeguarding Warehouse Safety

In modern warehousing, logistics, and manufacturing operations, forklifts have become indispensable material handling tools. However, once a forklift is driven at excessive speed, it can easily lead to accidents, causing injuries and property damage. According to industry practices and safety standards, the recommended safe driving speed for forklifts in warehouses is no more than 8–12 km/h, and in mixed zones where both people and forklifts operate, speeds should be controlled to 5–8 km/h.

So, how can we effectively prevent the hidden dangers of forklift “overspeeding”? The answer is simple: install a forklift speed limiter.

What is a Forklift Speed Limiter?

A forklift speed limiter is an intelligent safety device that restricts the maximum operating speed of a forklift according to a preset value. Once the speed reaches the limit, the system automatically controls acceleration, ensuring the forklift does not exceed the safe speed.

Key Advantages of Forklift Speed Limiters

Eliminate Overspeed Risks: Prevent accidents caused by improper driver operation.
Enhance Workplace Safety: Ensure the safety of workers and equipment, especially in narrow or crowded areas.
Smart Management: Can be integrated with fleet management systems for remote monitoring and data analysis.
Reduce Accident Costs: Minimize injuries, cargo damage, and equipment repair expenses.

Application Scenarios

• Warehouses & Logistics Centers: Prevent forklifts from speeding and protect staff safety.

• Manufacturing Plants: Lower accident risks in zones where people and forklifts work together.

• Ports & Terminals: Avoid forklift loss of control in large-scale operations.

Why Choose WTSafe?

Our forklift speed limiter is built with high-precision sensors and an intelligent control system. It allows flexible speed settings (e.g., 5 km/h, 8 km/h, 10 km/h) according to customer needs, is easy to install, and is compatible with multiple forklift models.

Three-Level Speed Alert：

• Level 1 Alert: Default at 8 km/h – triggers flashing warning light.

• Level 2 Alert: Default at 10 km/h – activates flashing light + “ding-dong” sound.

• Level 3 Alert: Default at 12 km/h – activates flashing light + voice alert: “Overspeed, please note.”

• 

• 
  

• Mandatory Speed Restriction.

• If the forklift exceeds the preset limit, the system triggers both visual and audible warnings (“Overspeed, please note”) and automatically controls the throttle to enforce the speed limit. Even if the driver presses the accelerator aggressively, the speed will not exceed the preset value.
