K10 24GHz Millimeter-Wave Radar Obstacle Avoidance System
Forklifts and specialized engineering vehicles often work in tight spaces, busy yards, and areas with low visibility. They are prone to blind spots, which can hide people, equipment, and obstacles. In fact, even experienced operators face difficulty when reversing, turning, or moving through congested zones. Any error can lead to serious injuries or costly downtime.
As a solution, our K10 24GHz millimeter-wave radar obstacle avoidance system is built for this job. This compact system uses three radar sensors, warning lights, and an audible-visual alarm. So, operators can easily detect moving objects around the vehicle. It provides real-time distance and angle data to support safer movement.
So, if you need a practical obstacle avoidance system for your industrial vehicles, K10 is your best bet. It gives you a strong mix of coverage, accuracy, and value.
How the Radar Obstacle Avoidance System Prevents Collisions
Around 34,900 forklift accidents lead to serious injuries each year in only the U.S. The cause? Busy, tight aisles with heavy foot traffic and equipment movement. The K10 system solves this problem by closely watching for moving objects within its detection area. It triggers alerts when a target enters the monitored zone.
More specifically, the system can detect objects from 0.4 meters to 10 meters away. The detection width is adjustable up to 8 meters, depending on the setup needs and your environment.
When the K-10 obstacle avoidance radar detects a moving object, it sends a warning through flashing lights and an audible alarm. This gives operators and nearby workers a quick signal to slow down, stop, or clear the area. With these real-time alerts, the K10 helps reduce reaction delays in active work zones.
Key Features of the Radar Obstacle Avoidance System
These are some of the key features of the K10 radar obstacle avoidance system:
Real-Time Detection
The K10 provides live detection of moving objects, including their distance and horizontal angle. This is especially important in fast-moving industrial environments. So, the operator doesn’t have to rely on line of sight. They get an extra layer of awareness.
Also, the system is designed for short-to-medium-range monitoring around vehicles and machines. It is very useful in crowded worksites where people, vehicles, and obstacles move at the same time.
Multi-Zone Coverage
Our K10 system consists of three radar sensors. It is suitable for left, right, and rear coverage or other zone layouts based on your equipment. This setup helps create a wider safety field around the machine.
It has a typical detection area of 8 meters long and 2 meters wide. The best part is that the overall range and width can be adjusted as per your needs. This flexibility makes this radar obstacle detection system practical for different vehicle sizes and site conditions.
Visual & Audible Alerts
Our K10’s warning package includes three red single-color linear lights and an audible/visual alarm. The red light can remain steady to mark a safe work boundary and flash quickly when the system is triggered. So, operators can see the alert, and nearby workers hear it. The lighting creates a visible warning zone around the equipment. This helps people react faster and stay clear of danger areas.
All-Weather Reliable
Do you usually operate in outdoor areas? Our K10 has you covered. It uses millimeter-wave radar, which works effectively in low light, dust, or changing outdoor conditions. The system is also compliant with RoHS 2.0 and EMC-tested under EN 55014-2:2015. This adds confidence for buyers who want a dependable obstacle avoidance radar for daily use in commercial and industrial environments.

Functions of the Radar Obstacle Avoidance System
The K10 radar obstacle avoidance system is designed to work as one unit. It offers zone marking, obstacle detection, and forward collision warning.
So, let’s look at these functions in detail:
1. Forward Collision Warning (FCW)
The K10 can support forward collision warning by detecting obstacles in front of the vehicle. It triggers alerts before the impact risk increases. This function is useful for forklifts, construction vehicles, sanitation vehicles, shuttle buses, and cranes.
Moreover, FCW helps operators respond faster to people or equipment entering the travel path, especially in areas with frequent stop-and-go movement.
2. Side/Rear Obstacle Avoidance
Side and rear blind spots are a frequent source of low-speed collisions. The K10 uses three sensors to monitor multiple directions and warn when someone or something enters the risk zone.
This feature is very useful for reversing equipment, turning forklifts, and mobile machinery working near walls, racks, and crew members. A strong radar obstacle avoidance system can make these routine movements much safer, faster, and more efficient.
3. Zone Marking
The included red linear lights do much more than warn after detection. They also help define a visible safety boundary around the vehicle. When steady, they mark the work area. However, they flash to show immediate danger when triggered. This zone-marking function improves site awareness for pedestrians and nearby operators.
4. Use Cases of the Radar Obstacle Avoidance System
The radar obstacle avoidance unit is suitable for various vehicles. Here are some of its use cases:
- Construction vehicles: Construction sites are crowded, noisy, and always changing. Vehicles often work close to crews, barriers, and material stacks. The K10 helps operators monitor movement around the machine and react before contact occurs.
- Mining trucks: Mining environments can limit visibility with dust, vibration, and uneven terrain. The K10 adds a durable detection layer for moving objects around support vehicles and site equipment.
- Agricultural machinery: Farm machinery often works near workers, storage areas, and service vehicles. The K10 supports safer operation during transport, loading, and field transitions.
- Forklifts and warehouse logistics: Forklifts are one of the clearest use cases for the K10. The system’s warning lights, audible alert, and multi-zone detection suit warehouse aisles, loading bays, and logistics yards where pedestrian interaction is constant.
- Airport ground support vehicles: Airport support vehicles move around aircraft, staff, carts, and service equipment. The K10 helps improve spatial awareness in these active zones where safe low-speed movement matters.

Step 1: Position Radars
First, you should install each radar facing horizontally in the center of the intended zone. There should be no angular deviation in either the horizontal or vertical direction. Also, keep the detection direction clear.
Note: You should not place metal materials or metal layers in front of the radar.
Step 2: Mount Lights & Alarm
Follow these steps to set up the lights and alarm units:
- Install the red warning lights on the left, right, and rear sides, based on the vehicle layout.
- Then, mount the audible-visual alarm where it can be easily seen and heard by the operator and nearby staff.
Step 3: Wiring
You can easily complete the wiring by following the diagram in the manual. Then, the warning light wiring is simple:
- Connect the black wire to the negative terminal.
- Connect the red wire to the positive terminal.
Step 4: Test
Now, you should test the system. Here’s how:
- Make sure unrelated moving objects enter the radar field during testing, as that can affect results.
- Check that each radar zone detects motion, each warning light responds correctly, and the audible-visual alarm activates as expected
- Adjust the detection range and width to match the machine and work area.
The K10 24GHz obstacle avoidance gives buyers a clear answer to a common safety problem. It detects objects in real time, warns operators, and supports safer movement in busy zones. With three radar sensors and warning lights, it offers strong value in a compact package.
