Simple Speedzones

Not every area in the warehouse carries the same risk.

So why use the same speed everywhere?

Scroll down

With Simple Speed Zones, you can control vehicle speed exactly where extra attention is needed. This improves safety in critical areas while maintaining flow in stable zones.

Your benefits at a glance:

Automatically reduce speed in high-risk areas
Maintain material flow in low-risk zones
Easy to introduce without major redesign
Scalable for existing warehouse and plant environments
Smart safety intelligence for industrial mobility

Case Intro Teaser Item

How Simple Speed Zones work:

1. Define critical areas

Together, we identify the zones where the risk of collisions, near misses or unsafe interactions is highest.

2. Connect vehicles and infrastructure

The relevant trucks and infrastructure are equipped so that defined areas are detected and speed can be adjusted automatically.

3. Roll out step by step

Start with your most important hotspot and expand the system as needed. This creates safety with a clear plan — without adding unnecessary complexity.

If desired, Linde Safety Guard data can be viewed transparently in myLinde.

Typical use cases:

Simple Speed Zones are especially useful in:

warehouse operations
production sites
distribution centers
goods-in and goods-out areas
mixed traffic zones
areas with forklift trucks, tugger trains or other industrial vehicles

Typical risk points:

intersections in aisles
narrow passages
hall or warehouse gates
loading docks
indoor-outdoor transitions
pedestrian crossings
picking areas

FAQ:

What are Speed Zones in a warehouse?
Speed Zones are defined areas where forklift trucks or other vehicles automatically reduce or adapt speed. They are mainly used in areas with increased risk, such as intersections, gates or loading docks.
Why are Speed Zones useful for forklift operations?
Because risk in a warehouse is not the same everywhere. Speed Zones help reduce vehicle speed where interaction risks with pedestrians, other vehicles or structural bottlenecks increase.
Are Speed Zones easy to implement?
Yes. In many applications, implementation is straightforward. Companies can start with a few hotspots and expand the system step by step.
Do I need to redesign the whole warehouse?
No. One of the key advantages of Simple Speed Zones is that they can be integrated into existing warehouse environments without changing the full layout.
Which areas benefit most from Speed Zones?
They are especially useful at intersections, hall gates, transitions, loading docks, narrow passages and areas with pedestrian traffic.
What is the advantage over general speed limits?
General speed limits slow down the entire operation. Speed Zones act exactly where risk increases and help maintain efficiency in stable areas.
Which vehicles are relevant for Speed Zones?
Speed Zones are especially relevant for forklift trucks and other industrial vehicles used in intralogistics.
