Hi, I'm new to the site but not to forklifts. As always in the warehouse industry, we have trouble getting people to use their seatbelt. I was wondering if there are any systems out there that have a safety interlock that prevents the lift from functioning unless the seatbelt is fastened. I know most skidsteers have a safety interlock system requiring the operator to be in the seat and have the seatbelt fastened. Seems like a logical solution to the problem of not wearing the seatbelt. The hyster service guy said that there isn't such a thing and I think it would be a pretty simple thing to rig up if hyster indeed doesn't have any such thing. Just wondering what everyone else thinks or if they know of something that is currently available like this. Thanks a bunch!

Fact of the week
The word "okay" (or its abbreviation "OK") originated as a humorous misspelling. In the 1830s, a fad in Boston involved using abbreviations of intentionally misspelled phrases. "OK" stood for "oll korrect," a playful mispronunciation of "all correct".
