Clear Aisle Assist for PHOENIX Sideloaders
Reduce Repairs & Downtime in Narrow Aisles with LiDAR Collision Avoidance
Available with all
PHOENIX series
Detects protruding loads, prevents collisions
Fewer repairs, more uptime
Narrow-aisle long-load storage leaves little room for error: protruding bundles or profiles on the racks can enter the travel path of the sideloader and cause costly impacts. Clear Aisle Assist solves this with dual LiDAR sensors that monitors the aisle, warns the operator, and if required, automatically slows - or stops - the PHOENIX multidirectional sideloader to prevent a collision.
- Detects protruding loads in both travel directions in narrow aisles with vertical LiDAR sensor system
- Automatically slows or stops to prevent collisions, protecting racks, goods, the cabin and hydraulic compartment of the sideloader
- Results in fewer repairs and higher uptime
- Assists operators without adding to their workload; the system is triggered automatically
- Proprietary and now available across all PHOENIX multidirectional sideloaders
The challenge in narrow aisle warehouses:
tight spaces, limited visibility, high collision risk
In facilities handling long loads, HUBTEX multidirectional sideloaders frequently operate in narrow aisles with guiding systems and minimal safety clearances— often < 100 mm per side to maximise storage capacity. Even with lift trucks optimised for this environment, operator visibility can be limited. During storage, croocked or mis-positioned timber, steel, plastics, or aluminum bundles or profiles can protrude beyond the rack—especially hazardous when the sideloader approaches with the cabin side. These hard-to-spot obstructions raise the risk of impacts to the truck's cabin/hydraulic area, chassis, or battery, causing safety incidents, damage, and downtime.
The solution: Clear Aisle Assist
patented LiDAR aisle monitoring for maximum warehouse safety
Clear Aisle Assist is a patented, LiDAR-based driver assistance system that performs intelligent environment monitoring in narrow aisles. Strategically placed laser sensors (configured per truck) scan both driving directions within the aisle to detect protruding loads and obstacles early - even in complex racking layouts. The monitored zone adapts dynamically to vehicle parameters such as travel speed and lift height; typical settings align the scan height to the cabin. When an obstruction is detected, the operator receives a clear visual cue under the display and, if required, the speed of the multidirectional forklift can also be automatically reduced—up to a complete stop - in order to avoid impact. Designed to support operators without adding workload, Clear Aisle Assist increases warehouse safety and uptime, and is available for the HUBTEX PHOENIX series.
