Does anyone know of safety regs (OSHA/ANSI) that would prohibit modifying a truck mounted forklift with a remote starter so that the forklift might be raised and lowered onto the back of the truck thus allowing the operator to mount or dismout the forklift from the truck without the operator having to climb aboard (or off - in the case of re-mounting the forklift)? The modification would, of course, be with the manufacturer's permission.
