What is a blue arrow?
Definition
If you’ve ever been to a large warehouse or any other place where forklifts are used, you’ve no doubt come across it: the blue arrow. If not, you’ve probably seen the blue dot. The blue arrow works in the same way but also indicates the direction of the forklift. It’s a bit like an evolved version of the blue dot. For more information about the dot , please see our blog post entitled: ‘Blue light on a forklift – what does this blue light do?’
Advantages
Plenty of accidents happen in the workplace every day. Everyone is busy at work and large forklifts can be very dangerous. When a forklift or reach truck is just at the corner or in an aisle, it is not visible. If it is just coming out, it is even more dangerous as people can walk by. A blue arrow ensures safety on the shop floor. Behind the forklift, a blue arrow shines on the ground so that others can see that there is a forklift in the path or around the corner. The arrow also additionally indicates the direction of the vehicle. This is extra useful so you can estimate whether the vehicle can come around the corner or whether the chance is slim since it is facing the other direction. This is the big advantage compared to the dot.
