Keytroller, LLC is proud to be one of the sponsors for the upcoming US Open Forklift Rodeo and Safety Expo hosted by The Higgins Group of Springfield, Ohio. The US Open Forklift Rodeo expects to have participants not only from the US but also international competitors. Keytroller has donated it's most popular forklift access-monitoring system as a prize for one of the winners. This safety device can be installed on any make or model forklift and prevents untrained operators from starting, eliminates the ignition key, schedules maintenance, automates the daily checklist , monitors reckless driving (speed and impact sensing) and logs all usage events. There are several models available for different applications and different budgets. All models can be wirelessly enabled for seamless programming or retrieval of event log data utilizing WiFi, Zigbee or Bluetooth radios.
