In March 2026, a logistics company in Hamburg, Germany, noticed an increasing number of near-miss incidents between forklifts and warehouse workers during busy loading hours. Although no serious injuries had occurred, several employees reported that forklifts were difficult to notice when approaching blind corners and narrow aisles.
To improve workplace safety, the company installed Noparde LED Forklift Safety Lights on its electric forklift fleet. Red spot warning lights were mounted at the front and rear of each vehicle, creating a bright warning zone on the floor several meters ahead of the moving forklift. This gave nearby workers extra time to recognize approaching vehicles and move to a safe distance.
After the installation, warehouse staff quickly adapted to the new visual warning system. Supervisors reported smoother traffic flow in high-traffic areas, especially at intersections and storage aisles where visibility had previously been limited.
Within three months, the company recorded a 40% reduction in reported near-miss incidents involving forklifts. Employee feedback also showed greater confidence when working around moving equipment, helping the warehouse maintain a safer and more efficient working environment without interrupting daily operations.
