Mitsubishi Logisnext Americas Group (Logisnext), a leading North American provider and manufacturer of material handling and innovative automation and fleet solutions, knows that the welfare of forklift operators is a top priority. For the 10th anniversary of 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 to prioritize and champion forklift safety in the workplace.


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

  • Logisnext executives will attend the 10th 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 13, Logisnext employees across the company’s three campuses will celebrate the milestone occasion as part of the company’s ongoing commitment to focusing on safety best practices.
  • To further raise awareness of the importance of forklift safety in the workplace, a marketing toolkit was made available to the Logisnext dealer network to help promote the “Safety First” campaign at their dealerships and to their customers during the month of June.

Logisnext’s “Safety First” initiative reinforces the importance of properly trained forklift operators and proper forklift 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. Put forklift safety at the top of your list—for more information and to download these new resources, visit Logisnext’s National Forklift Safety Day page.
