The head office of the corporation I work for has recently had all rearview mirrors removed from all forklifts, but not our rollclamp trucks. When I asked why just the forklifts and not the other trucks they said it was due to the size of the vehicle.The rollclamp trucks being larger needed the mirrors. I was then told that on forklifts equipped with rearward facing mirrors the operators would tend to drive in reverse while facing forward. Which I believe, at least in my situation, gives a wider field of vision than one could ever achieve by turning and facing backward. Is there anyone ou there that agrees with me on this?
