Abstract: A laser lighting assembly, mounted on a forklift, will be projecting a light beam parallel to and in the same plane as a fork, which itself is parallel to a floor or ground level. Until the forks are parallel to the floor or ground level the laser light will not be continuously on. When an operator of the forklift is adjusting the forks to be level, and then parallel to the floor or ground level, as the level positions are being approached, the laser light appears in a blinking sequence with the off periods initially being longer and then becoming shorter as the level positions are approached. Then when the level positions of the forks are reached the laser light is on full time.

Abstract: A laser lighting assembly, or another type of a directed high intensity collimated beam of light assembly, mountable on a forklift, or like purpose lifting and carrying equipment, to project at least one light beam, which is always directed parallel to and in the same plane as a fork or pair of forks, which are movably mounted on the lifting and carrying equipment for being raised and lowered. The projected light beam, during operations of the forklift, reflects from a changeable spot location on a load to be lifted, which is supported on a pallet, or is supported on a like fork receiving structure. When the fork is being either raised or lowered to be inserted, for example, in a fork receiving volume of a pallet, an operator of the forklift is observing the changeable spot location.
