lol, lights don't do squat. People just ignore them like they do all the other lights and horns. They're also set so close to the hilo when anyone does see them it's too late. The ones on my fork are st out about 10 feet in the rear and 15 in the front so people actually see them before the forklift gets there...when they pay attention.

@1:21 the operator is backing with his hand on the upright. @1:35 the operator is backing with his hand on the upright. @3:09 the operator is backing without looking behind him. But since this is a sales video masquerading as a safety instructional, it tracks that you'd overlook such basic operator errors.

Don't forget the demo truck they were using with the bent backrest. Takes talent to fold those back
