Can Forklift Safety be Solved Amidst Forklift Order Delays?

Forklift order delays in 2022 persist. It has been reported that major manufacturers of forklift trucks continue to have delays in fulfilling orders reaching as far as 40+ weeks from time of order. Although the issue of the supply chain is one of the main causes of the forklift order delays, companies are not willing to wait for their forklift safety solution.

Forklift Order Delays

Forklift order delays isn’t anything new to our industry. Even about 5 years ago, the order for new forklifts had increased to an average of 4-month delay for a standard forklift. Now, 8-10 months is fast becoming the norm, which means forklift fleet managers need to access their needs and place an order a year in advance.

What Can’t Wait…

Companies may be forced to contend with forklift order delays, but can’t wait for their forklift safety system. Another 8-10 months allows too much time for forklift accidents to occur. Companies want an answer now…today. Not only are companies concerned with fatalities, but injuries as well. This costs companies more than huge sums of money, but costs them in reputation and company morale. These last much longer than a one-time payment.
