Does the forklift have a line contactor that you close by turning the ignition switch to the "start" position? Some Hysters have this system and they're pretty much the same truck these days.
If you do have a line contactor you can use the handset by hot-wiring the line contactor closed then plugging in the handset as normal. (starting with the key switch off)
