Wireless charging system reaches new heights in forklift lighting
TYRI, a leading global work light manufacturer, has launched a revolutionary new product that
will change the current landscape of forklift lighting; TYRI Wireless Power system (TWP). This
innovative solution provides wireless light, which moves with the forks, to give operators a clear
view of their working area at any height. The lights then charge when returned to a downward
position, providing a truly wireless solution. The TWP system is controlled by a small remote
control device and can be expanded to two extra units and applied to all types of forklif ts, both
new and old. This entirely new intelligent and revolutionary lighting solution will receive its first
premiere at LogiMAT trade fair in Stuttgart, Germany between 14 –16 March.
Traditionally, LED lighting systems have been static and require lengt hs of wiring to power the
lights. With the TYRI Wireless Power system it is possible to have a lighting system which moves
with the forks to provide light where it is needed; without the risk of wires becoming entangled
in the mechanism. The TWP system increases safety, efficiency and productivity in the warehouse
environment by providing wireless light at any height and position the forks are required. It can
also integrate with other systems such as cameras, lasers and electronic valves and is connected
to Bluetooth or Wi-Fi to control the light source remotely and/or stream camera images. The
advanced nature of the technology ensures this product is future proofed and can be adapted to
integrate new technologies as they become available, such as camera’s integrated into the LED
lights.
TYRI Wireless Power system has a patent pending and consists of two sections that come into
contact with each other when the truck’s forks are in their lowered position and then commence
automatic recharging with a Li-Ion battery. The battery, in turn, runs the LED work lights fitted
to the sides of the forks.
Supplied with glare-free VL4 Diffused LED work lights, the TWP system is a cost-efficient lighting
solution from TYRI and features a wide beam lighting pattern for increased visibility from the
cab, and is particularly suitable for use together with cameras for a better image in the monitor.
“TYRI Wireless Power system is a new, revolutionary system that through less cabling provides
greater freedom. The forklift truck operator is provided with perfect lighting over all of his/her
work area. It not only increases safety, but also efficiency and productivity which in turn gives a
reduction in cost for the entire company”, states Christian Wadell, Development Manager, TYRI .

How the TWP system works:
TYRI Wireless Power charging system consists of two sections.
P-section: The forklift battery is connected to the TWP system’s voltage transformer and feeds
the electric current to the charging rail which is installed on the side of the forklift frame.
W-section: The WP Connector is mounted on the opposite side of the forks, which is in turn
connected to the TWP system’s own rechargeable battery pack. From here two VL4 Diffused LED
work lights are connected on either side of the forks.
When the forks are in their lowered position the W and P sections are closed and the WP
Connector makes contact with the charging rail, charging of the battery starts automatically.
The battery then runs the work lighting and other electronic equipment, for example, a camera.
Via the remote control device, the operator can switch the work lighting on and off as well as the
other optional units.
Premiere & demonstration:
March 14 to 16 at the LogiMAT, Stuttgart, TYRI Lights, booth 8A24 in hall 8.
