Additional notifications are sent prior to expiration.

Sign In with PIN or Scan a QR Code for Authentication – Use your company badge with the affixed QR code, or manually enter in a PIN number that is unique to the worker to begin the forklift inspection process.

No Pass, No Go – As the forklift inspection is underway, if any part of the forklift inspection fails, then the forklift will not go. If in the event the forklift operator tries to start his shift without the forklift inspection, the forklift will continue to stay still. Only when a forklift safety system is fully complete and passes the inspection process, is when the forklift operator will be able to proceed with his tasks.

Unauthorized Access of Uncertified Individuals – There are workers and visitors that frequent the facility. Sometimes, they see the forklift and it looks very appealing to hop on and try driving the vehicle. With a forklift access control system, the vehicle will deny their access ensuring safety of the individual, others around them as well as the equipment.

Unauthorized Access of Authorized Operators – Not all forklift drivers are authorized to operate all Class type forklifts. If an operator tries to drive a forklift that the individual is not certified to operate, the forklift access control system will know, and not allow the operator to use the vehicle.
