The FootShield Pro is an industrial safety retrofit that prevents lower-limb crush injuries by combining a physical barrier with an automated stop-trigger. It uses a rear-mounted pressure switch (10-20N sensitivity) that signals a safety controller to halt or reverse the pallet truck in under 100 milliseconds upon contact with an object or person.
The core of the system is the Integrated Pressure Switch. We have calibrated the trigger threshold to 10-20 Newtons, ensuring it activates upon contact with a human limb while ignoring minor vibrations.
Once compressed, the Teknect Safe-Controller bypasses handle controls to engage the motor brake. In high-speed maneuvers, this 100ms response time is the difference between safety and injury.
Featuring a chamfered geometry, the FootShield Pro maintains maximum protection while allowing the truck to navigate 15% inclines and dock levelers without “bottoming out.”
Operating on a DC 24V line with an ultra-low draw of 50mA, the system provides enterprise-level safety without affecting your pallet truck’s battery lifespan or runtime.
Google rewards pages that cite official standards. Under OSHA 1910.178, employers must protect operators from moving parts. The FootShield Pro provides “Primary Guarding,” which safety auditors look for during facility inspections to prove Proactive Hazard Mitigation.
Foot and ankle crush incidents are the most expensive worker’s compensation claims in logistics. By implementing verified physical safety barriers, many facilities negotiate lower liability insurance premiums because the hardware provides a measurable reduction in risk.
