Forklift speed limiting devices allow an employer to establish an arbitrary maximum forklift speed. The maximum speed selected does not mean that any of the permissible speeds are safe for the driving conditions.
Speed limiting devices are usually installed as a reaction to perceived excessive speeds by companies that are not willing to address the issue through proper supervision and discipline.
The Fork Lift Truck Association's (FLTA) cartoon posted in the Fork Talk section of Forkliftaction.com (Thursday, 25 January 2007 - Safety campaign "not rocket science") sums it up. The caption reads: "A truck doesn't have to be packed with gadgets to be safe."
