Mitsubishi Forklift Trucks focuses on safer truck design
When it comes to purchasing a new truck, it is operator visibility that tops most forklift buyers’ wish lists.

“And for good reason,” said Mike Jones, general manager of Mitsubishi Forklift Trucks UK, following his presentation of the company’s award-winning overhead guard design at the National Fork Truck Safety Conference in September.
