Our Linde Reverse Assist Radar at Michelin Tyre PLC

Reversing forklifts in narrow, high-traffic warehouses demands maximum attention. The Linde Reverse Assist Radar significantly improves forklift safety by actively preventing collisions – and it’s easy to retrofit. A real-world example at Michelin Tyre PLC in Stoke-on-Trent highlights its effectiveness. In Michelin’s tire warehouse, forklifts often operate in reverse due to restricted forward visibility when handling large tires. With up to 20 trucks running per shift, safety is critical. The radar-based assistance system continuously monitors the rear area and automatically brakes when obstacles are detected – based on speed, load, steering angle, and distance. The system reliably detects both moving and static objects, regardless of lighting or environmental conditions, while visual and acoustic warnings reduce driver stress. Result: safer workflows, fewer accidents, and higher efficiency. #LindeMaterialHandling #LindeMH #LindeReverseAssistRadar #UseCase
