The Forklift Monitoring Unit (FMU) is installed on the powered industrial vehicle. The FMU detects other forklifts and pedestrial devices nearby and will alert the driver by changing the visual alert and providing an audible alert as well.

The FMU can also detect zone devices that can change the alerting behavior as well as control the operation of the PIV.

The FMU can be installed on IC engine vehicles as well as on battery powered electric forklifts.
