Hi,

I have very little experience or knowledge of forklifts. I am wondering in general what types of control systems exist on forklifts? How common is "drive by wire"? Specifically I'm looking for ways to interface to various systems of the lift like speed, steering, etc. What models or types of forklifts is this possible for?
I've seen some safety systems recently that do things like limits the forklifts speed based on turning radius or load, how is this done? What is the connection?

Thank you for your time, sorry for the barrage of questions :)

Fact of the week
The origin of "love" as the score zero in tennis is debated, but two main theories prevail. One suggests it's derived from the French word "l'oeuf" (egg) which resembles the shape of the number zero. The other proposes it's related to the Dutch word "lof" meaning "honour" as players might be playing for honour when scoreless.
