Forklift Signal
Decals Available to
MCAA Members

MCAA and the Material Handling Committee have added another dimension to the Association's Rough Terrain Forklift Safety Training Program.

FORKLIFT SIGNALS

easy-to-read Forklift Signals in decal form.

You can affix these self-stick decals to your equipment or to any other location that has good visibility for the worker.

Colorfully designed, the decals are made of durable dri-mark vinyl to withstand all types of weather conditions.

This is another important step to aid in the proper safety training of your personnel. Take advantage of these decals and of all the tools in MCAA's Rough Terrain Forklift Safety Training Program.

The decals are available from the MCAA Executive Office at the following price schedule: 1-10 decals, $.45 each; 11-50 decals, $.40 each; 51 or more, $.35 each.
