Progtech Safety Lighting

Light that marks the hazard while it moves. Progtech projectors put a beam under a travelling crane, a line around a forklift and a sign on the floor where it is needed. Made in Italy, specified and supplied by Advanced Safety.

A painted line cannot tell you something is coming

Floor markings show where things should be. They say nothing about what is happening right now. A crane travels overhead with a load on the hook. A forklift turns out of an aisle. In a noisy hall, nobody hears the horn.

The hazard moves. The marking stays where it was painted.

Progtech lighting is mounted on the moving equipment or above the route. A crane carries its own beam, so the danger zone on the floor travels with the load. A forklift projects a line around itself, so a pedestrian can see where it is before it reaches them.

What that changes day to day

  • The danger zone is marked wherever the crane or truck is, not where it was when the floor was painted
  • Pedestrians get a visual warning that works over noise and at blind corners
  • Projected lines and symbols cannot wear, peel or be scraped off by traffic

Six ways to mark a hazard with light

Crane beams
Overhead cranes

Mounted on the crane, the Safety Bar HP EVO, Super HP EVO and Hyper HP project a coloured bar on the floor that travels with the load, marking the zone in front of and behind it.

Progtech Safety Bar 25 Long walkway line projector
Walkway lines
Routes and escape paths

The Safety Bar 25, 50 and 100 Long and the Knight Bar 50 project solid lines for walkways, routes and escape paths, with no paint, tape or floor preparation.

Progtech Safety Bar 20 EVO forklift line light
Forklift and vehicle lights
Trucks and loaders

The Safety Bar 20 EVO mounts on a forklift and the Safety Bar EVO 24-48V on larger vehicles. Each projects a line of light on the floor, so pedestrians can see where the vehicle is.

Projected symbols
Signs on the floor

Stop, no entry, pedestrian, forklift, suspended load, emergency exit and arrows, projected at the point where the decision is made rather than on a post nobody looks at.

Progtech Powersafe 50W projector, also used for projected crosswalks
Crosswalks
Pedestrian crossings

Projected zebra crossings in straight, diagonal, framed and solid versions, for the points where walkways cross truck routes. The Mini/Mid Safe Crosswalk works from 3 to 10 m installation height.

Progtech Supersafe 100W projector
High-power projectors
Bright halls

Powersafe 50W and Supersafe 100W are modular projectors for bright environments. The body, optic tube and symbol disc are specified to suit the mounting height and sign size.

Common questions

Crane beams come in blue, red, green and yellow. Choose the colour that contrasts best with your floor, and give each colour one meaning across the whole site, for example green for walkways and red for stop points.

It depends on the model. The Safety Bar HP EVO mounts up to 12 m and projects a line of about 7.8 m. The Knight Bar 50 works up to 8 m, and the Mini/Mid Safe Crosswalk from 3 to 10 m. We check your mounting points before specifying.

Visibility depends on ambient light, so we check light levels on site first. For bright halls, the Powersafe 50W and Supersafe 100W projectors are designed for higher ambient light.

Fixed units such as the Safety Bar HP EVO run on 90 to 305 V AC. Vehicle lights are matched to the truck: the Safety Bar 20 EVO for forklifts and the Safety Bar EVO 24-48V for larger vehicles.

The Safety Bar HP EVO is rated IP65 and IK08, and operates from -40 °C up to +60 °C for the blue version and +50 °C for the red. Other models differ, so we check the datasheet for each one.

No. It reinforces floor marking and hazard awareness. The statutory safety signs required under the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work (General Application) Regulations 2007 stay in place.

A painted line shows where a crane was meant to run. A beam shows where it is right now. That is the difference that matters to the person walking underneath.

A note on signage

Projected lighting is a visual control. It reinforces floor marking and hazard awareness, and it does not replace the statutory safety signs required under the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work (General Application) Regulations 2007. Treat it as an addition to your signage plan.
