A plurality of stop switches may be located on a webbing belt or strap 5 or other conventional means through a slot Fig 1, 4 in the housing. Each switch has a resilient or pliable housing Fig 1, 1 which may be made from an elastomeric material. A series or array of switches may be electrically connected via wiring through channels Fig 1, 3. The belt and associated switches may be retrofitted to a pedestrian pallet truck and interlinked to the tiller arm emergency stop circuit. The belt may be located around the lower edges of the vehicle. If the truck contacts an obstacle such as the drivers foot then the switch housing deforms and stops the vehicle. Removal of the obstruction allows the switch to return to its original state. The device is intended to prevent or reduce accidents involving pedestrians and users of new and existing lift trucks
