It is more likely for them to get pedestrians in blind spot areas slightly/severely injured. Vuewo has released the robust and rugged AI pedestrian detection camera system with visual and audible alarm to alert pedestrian of getting proximity to MHE.
A single forklift injury can cost up to $188,000 in direct and indirect costs, A range of industry research reveals the dangers and sometimes overlooked costs associated with manually-driven forklifts and machinery.
