Forklift Speed

Any reasons why most forklifts do not have speedometers?

Our safety dept would always harp on us to limit our speed to a certain speed limit in the warehouse but how would we know if there are no speedometers?

Anyway, if we reduce the speed by tinkering with the engine, does it affect the performance of the forklift (apart from its speed of course)??
