Fire Blankets
Forklift and Pallet Truck
A forklift fire blanket is an industrial fire containment solution designed to isolate forklift fires in warehouses, logistics hubs, ports, and high-risk operational environments before they spread.
Warehouse fires can escalate within minutes whether caused by lithium-ion forklifts, pallet trucks, or goods stored on pallets. The fire blanket is engineered to rapidly contain and control fires at the source, preventing spread to racking systems, inventory, and building structures.
By cutting off the oxygen supply, the blanket suppresses flames, limits smoke and toxic gases, and helps protect valuable assets while significantly reducing operational downtime.

Practical guidance for warehouse operators, industrial safety managers, and emergency response teams responsible for protecting people, inventory, and infrastructure.
A forklift fire blanket is used to rapidly contain and isolate fires involving forklifts, pallet trucks, or goods stored on pallets. In warehouse environments, it helps prevent fire spread to racking systems, inventory, and building structures by cutting off the oxygen supply and limiting heat transfer. It is particularly effective for lithium-ion battery incidents.
A fire blanket does not “extinguish” a lithium-ion battery fire internally, but it effectively contains and isolates it. By smothering flames and limiting oxygen, the blanket controls fire spread, reduces toxic smoke release, and prevents escalation into a large-scale warehouse fire while emergency responders manage the situation.
By containing the fire at the source, the blanket minimizes secondary damage to stored goods, infrastructure, and adjacent equipment. Unlike water-based suppression systems, it reduces water damage and contaminated runoff, helping facilities resume operations faster after an incident.
Yes. The Bridgehill Forklift & Pallet Truck Fire Blanket is designed for both conventional (diesel/LPG) and electric forklifts, as well as pallet trucks. It provides rapid containment for fuel-based fires and isolates lithium-ion battery incidents.
The blanket withstands peak temperatures up to 1600°C (2912°F) and continuous exposure up to 800°C (1472°F). This high-temperature resistance helps prevent heat transfer and reduces the risk of fire spreading within warehouse and industrial environments.
