Seatbelts for safety

The safety of the operator depends on seat belts. Accidental tip-overs are a preventable but all-too-common risk for forklift operators. Operators who are not properly restrained and who are then flung from their seats and crushed by the lift truck are much more likely to sustain injuries or even die.

Forklifts don’t have springs or shock absorbers as cars do.
