Posted By Karen Todd Hello all, Has anyone ever fitted anything to a forklift truck to protect the driver from rain? I have seen people tie polythene or cardboard to the top of the ROPS, but the only type of cab I have seen that protects the drivers from the rain is a fully enclosed one, like on a sideloader. What does everyone else do? Any forktruck drivers I know wear a waterproof coat and a hat if they have to go out in the rain in a counterbalance truck. The ROPS of the truck has 4 posts going up and the top of it is like a grid. Would it be OK to affix something permanently to the top of this (as long as it didn't affect the drivers visibility)? Open to suggestions, Karen

Posted By Chris Pope Karen I had 10 years using forklifts, sometimes out in the rain. I would rather sit there in wet weather gear and have the best visibility around the truck than have one of these flexible affairs that have creases, smears of dirt and no windscreen wipers. I've got my customers to remove them. If a truck has a manufacturer's rigid cab that is a different matter. Chris
