Rotating forks in a fork lift?

Being involved with MIOSHA, I can tell you that no manufacturer in the U.S. would sell one with a 1 touch button,due to liability.What would happen if someone came up on the blindside and the button was pushed,they could be crushed to death.Any modification would have to be made in house and then you would be subjected to severe penalties and fines if something bad ever happened and they found out you altered the safety aspect of the mechanism.Stick with one that has a human hand on the controls all the time,you will be safer and out of court! Hyster makes a variety of great fork lifts-they were one of the main brands with rotating turrets and side shifters.
