joseph_h,
sorry for not responding earlier. Have been busy. The speed limit in my warehouse is 10km/h. I cannot fully agree that looking at the speedometer would pose a safety hazard unless his is constantly focussing on it. Similar to when we drive cars. And when travelling backwards with load, it is unlikely they would speed. But we still need it, otherwise, they would say "you tell me not drive faster than 10 kmh but how would I know how fast I am driving??!"

dan_m,
It is not easy to just tell all the forklift drivers to slow down. How many would listen? If only people would listen and observe safety rules, then we would not need to install safety devices like sensors etc etc..


Anyway, just saw this discussion thread, talking about speed limiting in Forkliftaction.com forum. Check under 'Lifting Machines'
