let me clarify, i am not saying that i want to raise the governor on all of the lifts up to where they go 20 mph, but instead, i am trying to improve productivity at my workplace by making it possible for one employee, not even me, to work faster. in contrast for your statement that "it is not because a lift is faster that the job is done faster", it actually is. if it takes the guy twice as long to drive down the dock to pick up a piece of frieght, then it takes him twice as long to do that particular action, correct? i don't see how that could be debated.

per the toyota website, the speed on the lift is supposed to be up to 10.9mph, but on the lift i am inquiring about adjusting, one can walk faster. i think that is a big enough difference to try and get it adjusted.

as for calling the dealer, let me explain my thoughts on that, i and my boss both work on all of our cars ourselves, so i know that this would not be hard to do, if only i knew how. i am on a lot of online automotive sites, and there is a great deal of camaraderie there, with everyone willing to help each other out. as you see in this thread (forkliftaction.com/forum/discussion_82.htm) there is a hint of discussion about sharing information, and about helping each other out, it also goes on to say that these forums are the best spot for it.

having said that, if anyone here knows how to do this, and is willing to help someone out, please let me know. thanks.
