I'm quite sure that if a salesman was asked to put in writing with his/her signature that a forklift could be used as a tugger on any occasion the answer would be no.

When a question is vaguely answered or addressed in a brochure or literature there's a reason. There's never a question about lifting height, weight capacity, etc. Isn't it interesting that when this question is raised, there are so many interpretations?

I'd love to see what OSHA would have to say on this subject if someone got hurt using a forklift as a tugger with company approval- I bet they'd have no trouble interpreting this question.
