MCFA supports National Forklift Safety Day

Mitsubishi Caterpillar Forklift America (MCFA), a leading manufacturer of forklifts under the Cat, Mitsubishi and Jungheinrich brands, will host its second annual National Forklift Safety Day on Tuesday, June 9 at its Houston, Texas, headquarters.

MCFA will promote the safe and efficient operation of forklifts through a fun-filled day of collaborative events with over 800 MCFA employees in attendance.

National Forklift Safety Day is sponsored by the Industrial Truck Association (ITA), which hosts an annual safety day event in Washington, D.C. This nationally-recognized day serves as a focal point for manufacturers to highlight the safe use of forklifts and the importance of operator training. ITA’s event provides an opportunity for the industry to educate customers, policymakers and the administration on forklift operating safety practices.

“From design and manufacturing, to training and operations, forklift safety is our top priority,” said Jay Gusler, vice president of operations, MCFA. “Recognizing National Forklift Safety Day is important, not only for our dealers and customers, but also for MCFA employees. This is a great day to remind everyone that 100% safety and ensuring our employees go home safely every day is our first priority.”
