Are your forklifts staying within safe speed limits?

Do you have any way to warn operators when they are exceeding a safe speed?

Do you have speed limit signs, but no way to enforce your limits and no way for the operators to know how fast they are going?

Are you experiencing damage, near misses or accidents due to speed related issues?

If you have some of these problems read on, you are in the right place!

Until recent years, not much was possible in terms of limiting forklift speed. Many of the newer electric forklifts have options to program acceleration and top speeds, but unfortunately electric forklifts are not the main problem when it comes to speeding. If you are trying to monitor/control speed on an electric narrow aisle forklift or a rider pallet jack we suggest you contact the manufacturer of the equipment for your best solution If you are working with sit down forklifts of any type read on. Gasoline and diesel forklifts, used in wide open outside operations, are some of the fastest forklifts around and propane forklifts are very fast in relation to the highly congested areas in which many of them operate.

Several companies specialize in offering aftermarket solutions to monitoring and/or controlling speed on forklifts of all fuel types. These systems effectively deal with speed issues, but they require some thought and planning on your part to come up with the right solution for your forklifts and your facility.
