Forklift Lever vs Pedal Control - Which is Right for You?

A Forklift lever and a pedal control are the two common methods used to operate a Forklift. A lever is more often than not used for raising and lowering the forks, while the pedals facilitate the movement in terms of speed and direction. Each method has its noble purposes, and choice of such methods depends on the specific tasks posed to you. Forklift levers are accurate and most suitable for operations that involve precision. Pedal controls however are not as accurate but are easier to handle and more suitable for rapid provision of changes in speed or direction. Recognizing the distinctions that exist between these control methods will assist you in determining which one is suitable for your forklift operation.
