Powerfleet’s event-based system automatically slows forklifts to reduce accidents and boost productivity.

Prevent accidents, protect your workers and inventory with the intelligent Forklift Speed Manager. This automatic speed control system dynamically adjusts forklift speeds in risky conditions, ensuring safer operations without sacrificing efficiency.

Seamlessly integrates with Powerfleet’s other powerful in-warehouse solutions to take ultimate control of safety and efficiency in your warehouses.

Reduce Accidents, Maintain Productivity, and Unlock Visibility

The Forklift Speed Manager is an on-board device meticulously designed for forklifts and other industrial material handling equipment. It acts as an automatic speed control system, intelligently reducing the vehicle’s maximum speed in response to specific qualifying events, thereby minimizing accidents while actively maintaining your operational productivity.

Event-Based Automatic Speed Reduction: Automatically reduces vehicle speed during risky conditions, minimizing accidents while maintaining productivity.
Dynamic Throttle Control: Receives inputs from various on-vehicle devices and sensors, triggering the Speed Manager to restrict throttle speed to one of two predefined levels.
Post-Event Deceleration: Following a qualifying event, the system gently decelerates the vehicle, facilitating thorough inspections and assessments to ensure proper evaluation.
On-Board Device: Securely mounted on the forklift, working autonomously to enhance safety.

Forklift Speed Manager FAQs

How does the Forklift Speed Manager automatically reduce speed?

The Speed Manager is an on-board device that receives inputs from various sensors on the forklift. When specific risky conditions are detected, it automatically restricts the vehicle’s throttle speed to one of two predefined, safer levels.

Does this system constantly restrict forklift speed?

No, the Speed Manager is event-based. It only reduces speed when qualifying events or risky conditions are detected, allowing full productivity during safe operations.

What happens after a speed reduction event?

Following an event, the system will decelerate the vehicle. This facilitates thorough inspections and assessments of the situation to ensure proper evaluation before normal operation can resume.

Is the Speed Manager compatible with other PowerFleet telematics systems?

Yes, the Speed Manager is designed to integrate with PowerFleet’s other in-warehouse solutions. This allows for a comprehensive approach to fleet management, combining speed control with other telematics data for enhanced insights.

What kind of sensors can trigger the Speed Manager?

The device can receive inputs from various sensors also mounted on the vehicle, which might include proximity sensors, GPS (for geofencing speed zones), or impact sensors, depending on the specific configuration.
