Reach trucks are not fitted with seat belts as the risk of trapping the operator during a lateral overturn is deemed to be lower, due to the position of the operator who is sitting sideways at the rear of the machine, hence jumping or falling from the machine would not place the operator between the truck and the ground.compared to the obvious risk with a counterbalance machine.

It is not impossible though, for example if the truck turns over backwards in a longitudinal axis the operator would still be at great risk.
