Forklift tips down a grass bank – driver killed

21/09/2026 · Buhwil (TG) · Logistics · Fatal

Early in the morning a 38-year-old worker was driving a forklift on company premises. It tipped down a grassy bank and pinned him underneath.

Tipping forklifts mostly kill unbelted drivers who try to jump clear. Use the restraint, stay in the cab and mark routes well away from banks.
