A forklift (also called lift truck, jitney, fork truck, fork hoist, and forklift truck) is a powered industrial truck used to lift and move materials over short distances. Locomotion of forklift has some blind spots and most of the time it is observed that these bind spots cause the accidents. A blind-spot assistance for forklift using an ultrasonic sensor is an idea to reduce the accidental cases caused during driving forklift. It is observed that the driver cannot see the blind spot of the forklift vehicle during locomotion. In this paper, the detection of those blind spots is made possible using an ultrasonic sensor thereby assisting the driver in safe locomotion. Implementation of ultrasonic sensor with the user interface of radar display and LED array increases the accuracy of the system, as detection of an object in the ultrasonic range will appear on radar and scaled on LED array with alarm system.
