The following message is an excerpt from the ITSDF home page welcome message:

" TO: Friends in the Material Handling Industry
  FROM: William J. Montwieler, President
  Industrial Truck Standards Development Foundation
  RE: Welcome to the ITSDF Website

A special note is in order at this point—ITSDF will make its standards available gratis to anyone who wants a copy. Our intention is to secure use of the standards on the widest possible basis. As changes are made in the standards and new editions issued, they will be revised in their entirety. We encourage you to participate in the standards process. Your input will always be welcome."

Thanks to the Industrial Truck Standards Development Foundation and their gratis policy! This free use policy will greatly increase safety in the powered industrial truck arena as these standards are now readily available to safety personnel and safety trainers.
