SenS Smart Environmental Sensor (Available for Many Brands)
Operator Assist System
The all-new SenS Smart Environment Sensor pedestrian detection system – designed and engineered by Toyota – uses advanced technology and can assist operators in identifying a pedestrian or object behind their forklift during a shift. SEnS uses proprietary algorithms to distinguish between these obstacles. If within a detectible range, a buzzer and four indicator lights will alert the operator that a pedestrian or object is within a certain range of the rear of the forklift. SEnS is available as an add-on kit that can be retrofitted for select Toyota Forklift models currently in utilization, as well as other brands in the marketplace today. SEnS, works with multiple input voltages and fits a variety of applications.
How It Works
- SEnS enables customers to program up to three detection zones with different audible and visual alarms for each zone.
- SEnS can detect objects up to 32 feet away.
- The frequency in which the warning lights blink and a buzzer sounds increases as the pedestrian or object enters a zone closer to the rear of the forklift.
- Detection zones can be configured to meet various customer applications

SEnS+ Smart Environment Sensor Plus™ (Toyota Exclusive)
Whether you’re working in a bustling warehouse or distribution center, it’s important for your operators to not only remain productive but also be aware of their surroundings to minimize potential risks. Imagine a forklift equipped with smart technology that detects objects and pedestrians while actively assisting your operators. Enter Toyota’s SEnS+ Smart Environment Sensor Plus™.
The SEnS+ Smart Environment Sensor Plus™ is an innovative computer vision technology that supports operators by notifying them with real-time alerts via warning buzzers and lights when objects or pedestrians are detected behind the forklift. Additionally, this system not only detects pedestrians, but it utilizes regenerative braking to slow down the forklift when objects and/or pedestrians are detected. With dynamic zoning, SEnS+ adjusts the range of detection based on the speed and steering angle of the forklift, ensuring smooth navigation through any environment. For example, if the forklift is moving faster, the zone expands to account for potential obstacles. Let Toyota’s advanced operator assist system bring technology to your fleet.
