Hi all A bit of a random one here... I have 6 warehouses across derbyshire who all house yard men moving around pallets all day, rubbish bins also and bales etc. They all drive a standard gas fork truck to complete their duties. The question that's been asked to me is that can sun visors be fitted to the trucks to prevent glare during summer months. The dilemma I am facing is that vison will be greatly restricted if carrying a load and having a visor, but does that outweigh the glare of the sun and restricting an operative that way? I suggested sunglasses but some of the guys wear normal glasses and wont put sun glasses on. Ive searched the internet and actually cant find anything on it apart from the HSE's workplace transport. But this talks more about driving HGVs and other vehicles Any help would be much appreciated

What about light reactive lens prescription sunglasses? These will reduce glare when outside but not hinder when driving inside in lower light levels. Probably cheaper than additions to the truck.

I work for a forklift company and in the past we have fitted a protective window covering at the upper part to shield the operator. It was the type that you damp the window and stick it on.

I've sent you a suggestion on DM, will hopefully help you out. Although not spefifically for forklifts, its something I've had installed on office windows in the past to reduce glare.
