Prevent machine operation unless the seatbelt is worn. Integrated operator presence detection stops mousetrapping incidents and enforces OSHA compliance.
OSHA mandates seatbelts on all powered industrial trucks. Yet thousands of operators still neglect them — exposing themselves to fatal mousetrapping incidents.
Presence sensor detects operator seated in the forklift cabin. System is armed and ready for seatbelt detection.
Seatbelt switch detects engagement. Both 2-Point and 3-Point belts are supported. Green light confirms fastening.
Ignition is released. Machine starts normally. Operator can now work safely, fully restrained by seatbelt.
If seatbelt is unfastened during operation, buzzer, beacon, and optional voice alert activate immediately. Machine does not shut down but operator is warned.
Seatbelt + operator presence detection. Machine will not start without both conditions satisfied.
Buzzer, LED beacon, and customized voice alert. Ensures immediate operator feedback on compliance status.
Supports both two-point lap belts and three-point over-shoulder configurations. Retrofit to existing seatbelts.
Combines with access control, speed limiting, and collision avoidance systems. Plug-in architecture.
Cannot be bypassed or defeated. Sensors are sealed. Tampering is logged and reported.
OSHA mandate enforcement. 100% seatbelt usage. Prevents machine operation without fastened seatbelt.

Can be integrated with all other Controlytics MHE solutions. Customized configurations available on request.
Enforce seatbelt usage on all forklift operations across loading docks and aisles.
Material handling equipment (MHE) safety compliance in production and assembly plants.
Multi-shift logistics centers with high-volume forklift operations and safety-critical requirements.
Heavy earth-moving machinery (HEMM) fleets in harsh underground and surface mining environments.
Wheel loaders, compact equipment, and mobile machinery on construction and utility sites.
Mounts on existing seatbelts. No structural modification to forklift or machinery required. Plug-and-play installation on standard belt loops.
12VDC power input. Standard relay output to ignition circuit. Works with analog and electronic engine control units. No PLC programming needed.
Can combine with capacitive or pressure sensors in the seat. Dual-interlock ensures both seatbelt AND operator presence before machine starts.
Integrate with access control systems, collision avoidance, speed limiters, and fleet management dashboards. Modular architecture supports future add-ons.
