Thanks again for your replies. I would have never of thought that this issue would create all this interest.

I would like to make it clear. When I am training I apply the same standards like everyone else in this thread including the use of travel tilt. This is because I'm covering myself and ensuring that the trainee has the knowledge of the possible hazards in their environment.

All I'm saying if the floor is level,no slopes/inclines,no kerbs etc etc do I stop a FLT driver for not using travel tilt and explain that the reason that you need too is -

That`s how you where trained.
Because it is good practice.
Because of floor hazards although there arn`t any.
Because you can repair a leg bone easier than an ankle bone.

I hate to disappoint you all but there is a training world and a real world I have seen both sides. FLT drivers are constantly under pressure to achieve their targets. If you all really think that FLT operators drive to how they have been tested you need to take your blinkers off.
Apply the tilt and taking it off when you are moving over a hundred pallets per shift takes time. I always drive to test standard and yes always use the travel tilt but will never keep up to speed with another driver.
