The Alvarado WM-3B Watchman is a battery-powered, low-clearance warning system designed to help prevent collisions between forklifts and overhead doors, fixtures, and other overhead structures. It combines visible signaling with a loud audible alarm to alert operators and facility management before a potential impact occurs, supporting safer forklift operations in environments with low-clearance passages and numerous overhead obstacles.
Constructed with impact-resistant ABS tubing in safety yellow, the Watchman is built to resist fading and cracking in industrial settings. It arrives pre-assembled with a ceiling-mount connection, simplifying installation; the unit is designed to hang from above using aircraft cable (not supplied). The system offers adjustable signaling duration via user settings, providing a 4- or 8-second window for both the flashing red lights (with protective guards) and the 105 dB audible alarm when an impact is detected. In addition to its primary function of collision avoidance, the Watchman includes an optional dry-contact output that can trigger remote devices such as external lights or alarms to extend the alert network.
This solution is appropriate for facilities where forklifts operate near overhead doors, pallet racks, lifts, walls, sprinklers, conveyors, catwalks, and chemical lines. It supports safer operations by visibly and audibly warning operators of potential collisions, reinforcing safe operating practices and helping to minimize damage and downtime. The WM-3B carries CE marking, indicating conformity with applicable European standards, and is available in an 8' or 10' adjustable length to fit varying installation needs. It is packaged as a single unit and is powered by batteries for flexible mounting without a dedicated power source.
