All the customers reach truck's I look after, the operator's are trained to fully tilt back on the forks loaded or unloaded when travelling, this also helps stop wear on the fork's when unloaded ( none of mine drag along the floor, chains always adjusted correctly )

All the newer reach truck's I look after also go a lot slower forks first OR with reach extended to encourage the driver to operate the truck correctly - these features can be turned off but the management & trainers wanted it left switched on.

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".
