Mitsubishi Logisnext Americas group (Logisnext), a leading North American provider and manufacturer of material handling and innovative automation and fleet solutions, is proud to support National Forklift Safety Day. Logisnext and its family of brands — Cat® lift trucks, Mitsubishi forklift trucks, Jungheinrich®, UniCarriers® forklifts, and Rocla AGV Solutions — are teaming up with the industry to raise awareness of forklift safety and reinforce the importance of properly trained forklift operators.


The company is supporting National Forklift Safety Day through a variety of safety-focused activities:

  • Attendance at the 11th annual Industrial Truck Association (ITA) National Forklift Safety Day event in Washington, D.C., which will include presentations from OSHA, industrial safety, and forklift industry experts. 
  • On June 11, Logisnext employees across the company’s three campuses will celebrate with several scheduled activities as part of the company’s ongoing commitment to focus on safety best practices.
  • To further raise awareness for importance of forklift safety in the workplace, a marketing toolkit was made available to the Logisnext dealer network to help promote the “Together We Lift – Together We Stay Safe” campaign at their dealerships and to their customers during the month of June.

Logisnext’s “Together We Lift – Together We Stay Safe” initiative reinforces the importance of proper forklift training and certification. New tools are available to help contribute to a safer working environment, including a forklift safety poster series, a forklift inspection checklist, and additional operational safety resources.
