Reach truck solutions
Location problem:
At the DHL site in Bornem, they work with reach trucks that can put pallets away double deep.
This means that the forks of these forklift trucks can extend. They work at heights and it is often difficult for the forklift driver to estimate the exact height of the pallet. For this, the driver must therefore constantly look upwards, which causes neck and shoulder complaints.
Our solution:
First of all, to help the driver somewhat to determine the correct height for the first girder and then also for the trailing girder, we have installed a wireless fork camera on one of the extendable forks mounted. This solution is therefore wireless. The power supply is via a battery. With a wired camera, there are often costs for replacing the cables.
To relieve the driver's neck and shoulders as much as possible, we mounted a second camera at the highest point of the fixed mast. This camera "looks" upwards. In this way, the driver can monitor how far the pallet has been pushed into the rack. So he only has to look up to check his work.
With a multivision screen with split screen (2 images visible at the same time), the driver always has a view of both cameras and, thanks to the touch screen functionality, can enlarge a certain image to the full size of the screen.
Because people also work with liquids here and the forklift truck is open, we opted for a waterproof screen.
Location problem:
Lambrechts is a sanitary wholesaler. They work with reach trucks in their warehouse. These are forklift trucks with extendable forks that can work at a height to slide a pallet into the rack. Drivers of this type of lift truck often have complaints about their neck and shoulders because they have to look upwards almost continuously.
Our solution:
To spare the drivers their neck and shoulders, we have developed a vision solution here with 2 cameras. The first camera provides a better view of the beams of the racks at high heights. In addition, we have placed a second camera on the fixed part of the mast. This camera provides a good view while the pallet is being put away. Better visibility allows the operator to work more efficiently and faster.
In addition, the driver's shoulder and neck muscles are relieved.
With a multivision screen with split screen (two images at the same time on the screen) the driver always sees both camera images. The touchscreen functionality allows the driver to enlarge the desired image to the full screen area.
The connection between the camera on the fork carriage and the monitor is wireless
by means of a digital transmission.
This solution is
a) _cc781905-5cde-3194-bb3b- 136bad5cf58d_Cheaper to buy than an expensive video cable system
b) _cc781905-5cde-3194-bb3b- 136bad5cf58d_Cheaper to maintain, because video cables wear out quickly.

There is no power supply on the fork carriage on this reach truck. We work with rechargeable batteries here. Compact, with on/off button and strong built-in magnet!
At Bose, they initially thought a camera system was too expensive. Until they received a target price from our solution.
Location problem:
Bose works with reach trucks in their warehouse. These forklift trucks can extend their forks at a height in order to place the pallet in the rack. This puts a huge burden on the driver's neck and shoulders, who must constantly look upwards.
Our solution:
Together with the person in charge and the user , we have worked out a nice solution together .
This solution not only provides a better view of the beams of the racks at high heights, but the placement of a second camera on the fixed part of the mast ensures a good view during the_cc781905- 5cde-3194-bb3b-136bad5cf58d_pallet.
A combination of both cameras relieves the neck and shoulder muscles, which greatly reduces the complaints. In addition, better visibility ensures that the operator can work faster and more efficiently.

Location problem:
As with some other customers, Sedis also had a problem with their reach trucks. The visibility of the driver is not good if he has to put a pallet away in the rack at a height. In addition, drivers of reach trucks also often have shoulder and neck complaints because they always have to look upwards.
Our solution:
We have developed a vision solution with a wireless camera system so that the camera can work at height without any problems. In this way, the customer does not have to worry about wear and tear on cables. For a vision solution for a reach truck, we at Sedis worked with a fork camera and monovision screen.
The neck and shoulder muscles are relieved, which greatly reduces the complaints. In addition, the driver can work faster and more efficiently because he can follow what he is doing on the monitor.

Location problem:
Like several V2S customers, IKEA also came to us with the problem that their drivers have little to poor visibility when putting pallets away from a height of 6 to 10 metres.
An additional challenge was that there was little space to place a camera. Their lift trucks have telescopic forks so the camera must be able to move with it. In addition, the cables must not be damaged_cc781905-5cde-3194-bb3b-136bad5cf58d. The camera must of course also not be damaged when the forks are put together.
Our solution:
We suggested a fork camera with wireless connection. This is cheaper than providing the machine with an expensive mast cable and is also less subject to wear (wireless = no mechanical parts)_cc781905-5cde-3194-bb3b-136bad_5cf58d
The folks at Jungheinrich did a nice job of customization: they placed the camera on the back of the heel of the fork as recommended by us. In addition, they ensured that the forks do not touch the camera and that cables can never get pinched.
Because the driver has a better view thanks to the camera, his shoulder and neck muscles are spared so that complaints greatly reduced around here. In addition, the driver can work better and faster if he can clearly see what he is doing.
The camera is powered by a rechargeable battery that lasts up to 8 hours. The rechargeable battery has built-in magnets to facilitate attachment and detachment. In addition, it also has a load indicator and on/off button.
Location problem:
STG's forklifts have forks that rotate on their own. Sometimes to lift an ordinary pallet and sometimes to clamp a bale of tobacco in between. They were looking for a solution that could improve visibility for the driver when he puts a pallet on a pallet below.
Our solution:
We proposed a vision solution to STG. We also had to take into account the placement of the camera. This should not get in the way when the forks are turned. After a demo on site, we showed that visibility could be significantly improved and if the fork camera was placed in a certain place, it would not be endangered comes with other applications of the forks.
Location problem:
KUEHNE & NAGEL work with reach trucks in their warehouse. They experience a lot of shoulder and neck problems with their employees because they have to look upwards almost continuously to see if their pallet is properly positioned.ack being posted.
In addition there were still complaints because people had no depth perception en for some narrow pallets it was not sure whether the forks were positioned correctly.
Our solution:
At KUEHNE & NAGEL we have developed a solution with a fork camera. This is installed on one of the forks and provides a clear view when putting the pallet away. Here we used one camera with a monovision screen to optimize the driver's view. The driver can therefore work faster and more efficiently. This vision solution relieves the driver's neck and shoulder muscles and thus prevents long-term injuries. a fork camera.

With the expansion of a 2de camera we solve the problem of limited depth perception. The 2nd camera with cable (so no expensive wireless connection) that we fixed at the top of the have placed part of the mast (here in the photo with magnet because of demo) one can give a very good picture of the position of the forks and one will also have a better view when putting a pallet away about how deep it goes in the rack.
No more “squeezing corners” to see this from the cab, often even by leaning out.
Location problem:
With the adjustable forks of their forklift truck, they move small containers at the Balta Group that they have to raise to 4 levels in order to place in another container (see photo). it is often guesswork whether the forks are in the right position.
Our solution:
We have supplied a vision solution that facilitates loading and unloading of the blue containers.
Thanks to the camera, the driver now has a better view and can also see whether his forks are positioned correctly.
We chose a camera of 120° because the forks are adjustable in width and the operator can see the entire width on the monitor . Because no power supply is present on the fork carriage and the forks are adjustable in width, rechargeable batteries with built-in magnets were used.
Very successful installation by the customer himself.

Reversing camera solutions
Location problem:
Foamglas came to us with various safety questions. They were looking for a secure solution for speed zoning and a vision solution for reversing. Their forklifts travel backwards almost as much as they do forwards.
Our solution:
Many accidents can occur while reversing a forklift truck. That is why our vision solution of our reversing camera system is an ideal solution. In this way, the driver of the forklift gets a clear picture of what is happening behind him. We have installed our reversing camera system on all of their lift trucks.
In addition, we have our Proxytruck system for their request for a solution for speed zoning. This system works with tags. We are preventively reducing the speed of the forklift trucks in various zones spread (and therefore within) the huge building.
Location problem:
SAPA approached us with various questions. They were looking for a reversing camera and they were also looking for a solution in the field of speed zoning.
Our solution:
SAPA is now using our vision solutions namely our reversing camera. This camera ensures that the blind spots become visible behind the vehicle. This way the driver can see what is happening behind him while driving. This ensures increased safety.
In addition, we have solved their request for a speed zoning solution with our Proxy truck. In addition, the Proxy SL beacon and speaker at some crossings warn pedestrians of approaching forklifts. They therefore only work when a forklift truck is approaching.
In the zones where their ovens are located, we have introduced a low speed zone. When the ovens are open, because need to be filled, this low speed zone is overruled to speed up the filling process. Thanks to our tailor-made solution, SAPA can now drive slowly when the oven door is closed and drive faster when the oven needs to be filled.
Location problem:
To further improve the safety of their employees and reduce possible damage to vehicles, Promat was looking for a vision solution, namely a reversing camera for their forklifts.
Our solution:
We have usreversing camera system suggested. The blind spot causes for most accidents. Our camera system gives the driver a good view of what is happening behind him.In this way we increase the safety of the surrounding pedestrians.
Location problem:
Renault Trucks Belgium was looking for a vision solution for their customer Coca Cola that both gives the driver a clear view at the back of the truck and makes the blind spots of the truck visible.
Our solution:
We worked out 2 solutions that resolved both issues. Our first is our Full View Reversing camera which creates a 2-in-1 image (combining a horizontal view and a bird's eye view) so that everything that happens behind the truck is visible. This camera also detects motion.
In addition places we installed our blind spot cameras at the top of the truck cab. These provide a clear image on both sides of the truck so that the blind spots become visible. The driver can see all images on a multi-vision monitor. If he wishes, he can enlarge a certain image for even better detail.

This project was a real challenge
Location problem:
Nexan uses a 50 ton lift truck specially made to lift and move huge bobbins with cables (up to 4 m in diameter). When talking about such weights and sizes, it is important to have a good view of the truck's surroundings and the truck itself.
Our solution:
After a thorough analysis of the use of this lift truck and discussions with various users , we have developed a proposal with 2 9” multi-vision screens and 6 cameras._cc781905-5cde-3194-bb3b -136bad5cf58d_
Depending on the actions, certain image configurations automatically appear on the screen.
The angle of view of each camera is adjusted to what one needs to see (and nothing more, that's what we call "image pollution").
When loading a coil, a certain image configuration ensures that the driver knows when to lock the coil. These configurations are controlled automatically via a trigger signal. The driver should not search through the screen for the desired images.
When driving, a camera provides a good image even up to the blind spot. This camera can appear on the 2 screens by means of a splitter cable!
Click to see the plan that we have worked out for them and that already more than _cc781905-bb9-3-5 -136bad5cf58d_one year at their 'turns'.
Location problem:
LBX specializes in making train wheels. These train wheels must be moved/stacked using a special clamp (yellow clamps on the photo)
The driver of the vehicle often has very poor eyesight. This increases the chance of missing the stacking/moving of the wheel. This also reduces the possibility of a 400-kilogram wheel falling real.
Our solution:
Our vision solution for LBX consists of 2 fork cameras mounted on each fork. We use a multivision screen that is set to a "split" screen. In this way, the driver constantly sees both images on the screen. He can zoom in on one camera if needed.
Because they do not work very high, we have provided a solution here with spiral cables instead of wireless transmission. This had been unnecessarily expensive. The spiral cables can be extended to 2 meters, which is sufficient for the distance the forks must be able to reach.
Because we have opted for spiral cables and this a cheaper solution compared to a wireless transmission, , the customer can invest in a second camera.
Location problem:
Atlas Copco was looking for different vision solutions. They also looked for wireless solutions.
Our solution:
We have developed their demand for different vision solutions into a tailor-made solution. We have therefore provided wireless cameras where necessary. We also provided with a special mini camera. This camera allows the driver to see if the trailer is correctly coupled.
Location problem:
In collaboration with Little Giant, we found a custom solution for a customer of theirs who is in the carpet business.
The customer wanted more visibility for the driver of the work during the “picking” of a roll of carpet/vinyl, mainly to avoid damage to the load tube when 2 rolls are lying in succession – but not perfectly aligned.
Our solution:
Based on our fork camera, Little Giant has developed the project with camera and incorporated light diodes into the thorn tip of the carpet thorn so that the driver can clearly see whether the thorn pin is correctly positioned in the tube of the carpet roll. Even when it is at altitude!
The connection between our camera and our monitor is wireless.
Advantages:
- The driver no longer needs to look upwards, which is a major ergonomic advantage.
- The driver can work faster, so productivity increases.
- No more damage to the load shafts.
Location problem:
At one of Belgacom's sites, large cable reels have to be moved and then loaded onto trucks. Due to the poor visibility, a lot of damage was done to the special (expensive) guides mounted on the truck floor. Belgacom was looking for a solution to this visibility problem.
Our solution:
We proposed a vision solution that would save their costs. With the right camera in the right place, the driver now has a better view. This both when picking up the reel and when placing on the truck.
The investment paid for itself quickly.
Location problem:
At SCA in Stembert they drive 8 ton trucks equipped with large clamps to move large rolls of paper. These clamps can rotate 360°. When rolls of paper are being transported, the driver hardly has a view of what is happening in front. They asked us to solve this problem with one of our vision solutions.
Our solution:
As a solution, we placed a camera on each of the clamps. This was possible thanks to our digital wireless transmission. No cables are required using rechargeable batteries (with built-in magnet).
The driver has a multi-vision screen with 2 images (split screen). When touching one of the images, it is enlarged on the total area of the screen. Touch Back and you will return to the Split View.
Men can connect up to 4 cameras to this screen and if desired see all 4 on the screen at the same time.
Location problem:
At Tenneco, many trucks need to be unloaded and loaded quickly. The loads are very varied and visibility is therefore limited in some cases. Tenecco asked us to solve this problem.
Our solution:
Thanks to our solution with our fork camera and a wireless connection, the driver now has a much better view. .
Location problem:
XPO Logistics works with reach trucks in cold stores of -25°. Their view was obscured by the forklift's triple mast.
Our solution:
We have provided a vision solution that can withstand cold temperatures because the camera has built-in heating. Thanks to our vision solution, the driver can now see exactly where he can unload his pallet.
Narrow aisle trucksolutions
Location problem:
At FACQ they were looking for a solution to improve the visibility of the driver of a man-up truck. When he is working in height in a narrow corridor, he does not see well what is happening at floor height.
Our solution:
Together with our partner TMHBwe have supplied a vision solution on the narrow aisle forklift: man-up truck. 2 wireless cameras were mounted. A camera for both directions of travel. The images from both cameras can be seen on the DUAL SPLIT VIEW on the monitor. This way the driver always has a good view of what is happening at floor height. The customer is very satisfied with this solution.
On the screen we see the images from the front and back camera. If the driver taps on one of the images, it will be enlarged for more detail.
Location problem:
At Alkern they had a vision problem. The driver had little or no visibility while driving when using the "steinweg clamp". This clamp is an attachment tool that is regularly connected and disconnected.
Our solution:
By means of an appropriate vision solution, we have been able to clearly improve the driver's view (see photos) Thanks to our wireless connection and the rechargeable batteries with built-in magnet, it is also possible to change tools quickly.
In this photo we see the steinweg clamp. In the two orange circles we see the mounted camera on the one hand and the batteries and the transmitter on the other.
The photo above shows what the driver sees from his cab. The photo below shows the image from the camera on the monitor in the driver's cabin. Very clear that we have improved the driver's vision.
