We understand the critical role that reliable, high-performance camera systems play in industries like logistics and warehousing, where every move counts. Recently, we received an inquiry from a customer in Singapore who was seeking a solution to improve the safety and efficiency of their forklift operations. Their main concern was addressing blind spots during the fork’s vertical movement and ensuring precise positioning when picking up and placing pallets. With this in mind, they reached out to us, looking for a stable, durable, and effective camera system.
Previously, this client had been using a camera and display system from a European supplier. However, they were facing issues with reliability and durability in their current solution, and the client needed a more dependable alternative. Importantly, many of the displays were still functioning well, so they only required the replacement of around 200 cameras. That’s where we stepped in.
Tailored Solution for Forklift Operations
To ensure we provided a solution that met the client’s needs, our team immediately began reviewing the product specifications and requirements shared by the customer. Understanding the importance of both reliability and efficiency in this application, we utilized our in-house 3D printing capabilities to quickly design a prototype. Within the same afternoon, our engineering team had created a working model ready for testing.
Once the prototype was approved by the client, we swiftly moved to the next phase—customizing a stainless-steel housing for the camera using CNC machining. Within 5 to 7 days, we delivered a finished product that matched the client’s specifications.

The Perfect Fit: CPH Camera for Forklifts
The camera chosen for this solution was the CPH (Compact Pinhole) Camera, which has become an ideal option for forklift applications due to its compact size, robustness, and durability. Measuring just 55 x 28 mm, this camera is small enough to be mounted discreetly under the forklift’s fork carriage or on the mast crossbeam without taking up valuable space.
The CPH camera’s design is inspired by Orlaco’s proven technology, ensuring that it’s a top-tier solution for viewing hard-to-see areas such as the tips of the forks. The camera features a fixed 51° viewing angle, providing a clear and precise image of both the left and right forks. This allows forklift operators to easily and accurately position pallets, enhancing overall efficiency and reducing the risk of accidents.
Built with stainless steel and rated IP68/IP69K, the CPH camera can withstand harsh industrial environments. It is vibration-resistant (up to 50G) and designed to operate in extreme temperature ranges, from -40°C to 85°C. These features make it suitable not only for forklifts but also for other heavy machinery such as excavators, cranes, and marine vessels.
The camera’s analog video output (PAL or NTSC) ensures seamless integration with existing vision systems, and it supports 12-24V DC power supply, making it easy to integrate with a wide range of vehicles and machinery.
