We’re proud to support and work with the Industrial Truck Association to help reinforce the safe use of material handling equipment.”

This day provides educational opportunities for customers, forklift operators and the government on the importance of safe forklift procedures. Mitsubishi Logisnext Americas and its family of brands ̶ Cat lift trucks, Jungheinrich, Mitsubishi Forklift Trucks, Unicarriers and Rocla ̶ are supporting National Forklift Safety Day through a variety of safety-focused activities:
