I've reached my limit, and need some help. We've had another pedestrian hit by a forklift attributed to impaired vision, i.e. the mast blocking the driver's view. Thankfully the person will be fine, but it could have been a fatality.
My question for you is: Who is making a forklift or retro-fit type mast that is below the line of sight of a seated operator? I'll buy 100 of them if I can find them!
My local vendors for Linde and Hyster tell me there are none. Surely you all are dealing with this issue, are there any solutions?

Sounds more like using the wrong type of truck for the application.
90% of what we move is lifted 6 inches above the ground and carried across the factory. Probably only 20% of our forklifts have a need to lift higher than a semi truck bed. So if I had masts that were no higher than 4 foot, but could raise a load to 5 foot, I would die happy.
What is the maximum height that you would be lifting?....they do make a short mast,a trucking company i used to service had short masts on their forklifts,masts were only about four feet high...so they could load inside of tractor trailers without hitting rh roofs...
