Why Clear Lanes Prevent the Collisions That Injure Workers?
A distribution centre in Truganina called us after a near-miss where a forklift almost hit a worker at an aisle intersection. The warehouse had some old marking, but forklift drivers created their own shortcuts and pedestrians walked wherever was convenient. There was no system, just chaos. We implemented a complete traffic management layout. Dedicated forklift lanes in yellow with directional arrows. Pedestrian walkways separated by hatched exclusion zones. Stop lines and give-way marking at every intersection. Within a month, the safety manager reported no further near-misses and workers naturally following the marked paths. We made a lane width error at a warehouse in Derrimut in 2017. We marked forklift lanes at 3.0m based on their current forklifts, but the warehouse was about to receive larger reach trucks. The lanes were too narrow. We had to widen the entire lane system at our cost, around $4,200. Now we always ask about future equipment plans.

Compliance Standards
Workplace Traffic Management
Safe Work Australia guidelines require traffic management plans for workplaces where powered mobile plant operates. Our lane marking supports compliant traffic management.
Forklift Safety Requirements
Safe Work Australia forklift code of practice recommends dedicated travel paths for forklifts separated from pedestrian areas. Our marking creates this separation.
Floor Marking Line Width
AS 1318:1985 specifies safety colours including yellow for caution. Industry practice recommends minimum 100mm line width for forklift lane marking visibility.
Pedestrian Separation
Work Health and Safety Regulations require separation of pedestrians from mobile plant. Marked walkways and exclusion zones demonstrate compliance with separation requirements.
Intersection Sight Lines
Safe Work Australia guidelines recommend clear sight lines at intersections. Our marking includes approach warnings and stop lines where sight lines are restricted.
Aisle Width Standards
Forklift lane widths must accommodate the widest vehicle plus safety clearance. We design lanes based on your equipment specifications and Australian Standards guidance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Lane width depends on your equipment and whether traffic is one-way or two-way. Typically 3.5m minimum for one-way traffic with standard counterbalance forklifts, wider for reach trucks or two-way traffic.
Yellow is the standard colour for forklift and vehicle lanes in Australian warehouses. Yellow indicates caution and is distinct from white pedestrian markings and other safety colours.
We mark dedicated pedestrian walkways in white, separated from forklift lanes by hatched exclusion zones. Pedestrian crossings at intersections include stop lines for forklifts.
Yes, intersections get stop lines or give-way marking depending on traffic priority. We may add zebra pedestrian crossings, approach warning diamonds, and sight-line keep-clear zones.
In busy warehouses with heavy forklift traffic, floor marking typically lasts 12-24 months. High-traffic areas like main aisles wear faster than secondary lanes. Regular touch-ups extend system life.
Yes, we mark on most sealed concrete floors. Surface condition affects adhesion and durability. We assess your floor and recommend appropriate preparation and materials.
