IRIS 860 Pedestrian-detection sensor

Proven Protection for People Around Mobile Equipment

Trusted in over 10,000 installations worldwide, the IRIS 860 sensor is a proven, dependable pedestrian-detection system for forklifts and material handling equipment. Using an infrared laser to detect retroreflective tape on high-visibility PPE, it delivers reliable performance in darkness, glare, rain, dust, and heavy vibration—alerting operators the moment someone enters the hazard zone. Simple, effective, affordable.
