Maryland Industrial Trucks is proud to support National Forklift Safety Day along with our forklift manufacturer UniCarriers Forklift. This year on June 11th, the material handling industry will be celebrating the 6th annual National Forklift Safety Day. Industry experts will be gathering on Capitol Hill to discuss the importance of forklift safety with lawmakers and government officials. All forklift manufacturers and their dealers nationwide utilize NFSD as an awareness tool for customers and a reminder that operator training is of upmost importance.

Some of those videos on the Internet involving forklift accidents will leave you with your mouth wide open or laughing. But forklift safety – and the statistics surrounding forklift accidents and deaths – are not funny. That’s why every year the Industrial Truck Association (ITA) sponsors National Forklift Safety Day to raise awareness and promote forklift safety. This year the event is on June 12th and Maryland Industrial Trucks is a proud supporter.
