“Safety” which is the most important
issue for our customers.
Enhanced safety equipment according to
our THREE safety categories, SUMITOMO thinks.
In the situation of
serious labor shortage these days,
we think our mission is to further ensure
the safety for not only less experienced operators
and people around the forklift
but also customers’ cargo.
We have various customized safety equipment for
your specific needs, which is now optionally available
and can be provided with short delivery time.

Safety equipment to protect operators
The device tells the operator that the operation is dangerous with buzzing sound, of abrupt "acceleration," "deceleration," （→Read more）
"turning" while the machine is at the work. (the sensitivity can be adjustable.)
It is available to set the sensitivity individually for abrupt "acceleration/deceleration" and "turning."
The Traveling interlock device automatically shuts off the running engine when the operator leaves the seat. Preventing a human error from happening,（→Read more）
such as the operator accidentally steps on the accelerator. (Note: Does not mean the mechanical brake is automatically on. Suggesting to use the parking brake when to park the vehicle.)
Many accidents, as a matter of fact, being got caught in between the mast and the head guard happen when an operator stretches his/her（→Read more）
body through the mast. The device prevents a human error from happening when the operator is not in the correct operating position by killing the loading lever function.
The slope speed limiter, which restricts unwanted acceleration on down-slopes, is standard equipment. The control records the speed when the accelerator pedal is in the neutral position and maintains a constant speed on a down-slope.
In order to prevent unsafe access from the right side of the forklift, the chain is installed between the front and rear pillars on the right side of the head guard.
This design not only prevents access from the right side but also can be expanded the foot space.
The orange color allows you to easily make sure that the operator fasten the seatbelt during operating the forklift. It also helps for the operator to remind fastening the seatbelt.
Safety equipment to protect people around the forklift
A bright LED blue mark alerts nearby workers of the approaching forklift. It avoids accident involving worker and forklift.
This LED line light that be shined over wide area alerts nearby workers of the approaching forklift. It avoids accident involving worker and forklift.
The bright arrow LED light alerts nearby people the forklift’s direction of travel. It avoids accident involving worker and forklift.
The colored LED rotating light alerts to nearby people by rotating that the forklift is in operation.
This system detects reflective materials such as safety vests and reflective tapes, and alert nearby workers of the approaching forklift. It is available to detects reflective materials indoors or outdoors, daytime or night time, so it helps to ensure your safety.
The operator safely sounds the horn without releasing the steering wheel or grip when the forklift is revered. travels backward.
Safety to Protect your Cargos
A front light is equipped on the carriage. It could make the loading/unloading work safer for directly lighting the cargos （the fork sockerts） and the racks.
Tilt indicator which let the operator know mast tilt at a glance.Though it consists of analog type mechanism, this indicator is easiest to see and to understand, and excellent in cost performance.
When the forks are detected as being horizontal, horizontal lasers are projected into the insertion holes on the pallet. The operator can determine the fork insertion height accurately and safely. This enhance the efficient of the operation.
The Safety Turn Control(STC) is standard equipment that automatically control the speed of turning for QuaPro-B. The system could control both the turning speed and torque when the machine is （→Read more）
in turning responding to the vehicle's speed and the angle of the tires and it prevents the cargo collapse for your safety.In addition, STC contains the excessive acceleration when the vehicle is in the operation o turning or the slalom. It also benefits the shipping area in many ways with improving workers' safety and efficiency.
