Sorry if I offended. I think SpeedShield solves the problem. Not sales talk, but true solutions to the safety issue of travel speed. The Occupational Health and Safety Association sites 1 of every 5 forklift accidents reported occur due to traveling faster than a safe speed. If it were not important, why are Hyster, Yale, Caterpillar, Mitsubishi, Clark, Nissan and all the other major forklift manufacturers providing the ability to limit speeds of their forklifts. It is for safety reasons. Not all companies could use the same maximum speed and keep productivity up. So dealers can set the safe maximum travel speed on their new trucks according to customers situation. Older trucks don't have this option and one top speed is not always the best solution. Different zones within plants could use diofferent top speeds. Drivers aren't doing this or speed would not be the reason for 1 out of 5 accidents. They have been trained, they just are not doing it. We offer a solution. Do you have another solution?

Fact of the week
The word "okay" (or its abbreviation "OK") originated as a humorous misspelling. In the 1830s, a fad in Boston involved using abbreviations of intentionally misspelled phrases. "OK" stood for "oll korrect," a playful mispronunciation of "all correct".
