INSIDE FORKLIFTACTION
Our feature this week looks at one of the biggest segments in the materials handling market - pedestrian trucks.
While this equipment is seen just about everywhere, it is not regulated in many markets, and operators do not require licences to use the machines.
This makes safety even more important - and anyone using them is advised to observe the same caution which should be employed with bigger machines.
Whether you're already using pedestrian trucks or you're planning to add them to your fleet for the first time, make sure your operators are ready to use them safely.
