HOUSTON (June 8, 2015) – Mitsubishi Caterpillar Forklift America Inc. (MCFA), a leading manufacturer of forklifts under the Cat® lift trucks, Mitsubishi forklift trucks and Jungheinrich® brands, will host its second annual National Forklift Safety Day on Tuesday, June 9 at their 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.

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.
