Yeah, I am kind of done telling operators not to speed. That seems to be the position of my management. So, now we install speed limiting devices on all our Toyota forklifts to limit speed to 10km/h.

But guess what, we are frequently encountering tampering of the device. Wires get yanked out, fuses get removed. We even had to rivet in metal bars across the dashboards to prevent them from prying open the covers to access the wires to the speedometers. Even that didn't stop them and we get damaged bars!

Who knows, I might even resort to changing the whole transmission to have only 1 gear!! (Is that possible??!)
