HITNOT® Impact Alerts provide detailed reporting of forklift impacts, helping identify unsafe operating conditions, operator training opportunities, and potential equipment damage.
Track impact events by forklift, direction, severity, date, and time.
Detailed Impact Event Reporting
Every recorded impact provides actionable information, including:
- Truck number associated with the impact event.
- Exact timestamp showing when the impact occurred.
- Direction of travel at the time of impact.
- Indicates whether the truck was traveling forks-first or motor-first.
- Reports whether the truck was operating above or below the customer-defined target speed.
- Identifies the direction of the impact (forward, reverse, or side).
- Records impact severity based on measured G-force – 3 levels!
- Provides critical information for incident investigation and operator coaching.
More Than Just Impact Counts
HITNOT® Impact Reporting not only tells you that an impact occurred, but it also provides the details needed to understand what happened.
- Which truck was involved.
- When the event occurred.
- How the truck was traveling.
- Whether speed was a contributing factor.
- The severity and direction of the impact.
- Whether the truck was operating above or below the customer’s target speed at the time of impact.
This information helps safety managers identify trends, improve operator training, reduce equipment damage, strengthen workplace safety programs, and increase accountability across the fleet.
