Jon, I think that you are wrong, this is a powered pallet truck and not a forklift, if we were to go down the road you're thinking of how on earth do business's use the powered pallet truck that just has a stand on platform?

If I recall (seven dly sins) that main reason why limbs should not be placed outside of a guard is that you could get them caught between a piller and the OHG for example. This will not occur on a Pedestrian truck. Also consider Low level order pickers for instance would these be outlawed? Because these allow movement whilst youre not even on the machine!
( creep buttons with self centering steering)

So please can we try to be clear what were are saying here. I agree if we are talking Counter Balance BUT not Pedestrian operated.
