Does the forklift proximity alarm "Hiyari Hunter" really work?

[Safety Measures Implementation Examples] Feedback and opinions from users who have actually implemented the Hiyari Hunter reveal its effectiveness.

[To Yamato Transport Co., Ltd. Okayama Branch Logistics Business Group] "Compared to the past, the amount of work has increased, and there are more workers and forklifts. The Okayama branch has been working on collision prevention measures such as pointing and calling, but we thought about what we could do on the hardware side and decided to implement this." "Every month, each worker reports and records the near-miss experiences they have had, and the number of near-misses related to contact with forklifts has decreased from about 20 to around 2-3. I believe it has been effective. When we actually conducted interviews on-site, we received feedback that 'it was good to notice early because of the near-miss hunter.'" [To Shinsei Kogyo Co., Ltd.] "The rotating light originally attached to the lift was insufficient, and many near-misses occurred at the point of encounter between pedestrians and lifts. We introduced the near-miss hunter as a safety measure for shared zones that cannot be covered by simply separating pedestrians and vehicles." "Before the introduction, there were an average of about 15 near-misses per month. Since the introduction of the near-miss hunter, there have been no near-misses related to collisions between pedestrians and lifts. Work efficiency has also improved."
