Can you ride on the forklift with operator?

It is generally not considered safe to ride on a forklift with the operator. Forklifts are designed for the operator to be seated and have proper controls to safely operate the machine. Riding on the forklift with the operator can obstruct the operator's view and interfere with their ability to control the forklift safely. Additionally, if the forklift encounters any bumps or sudden movements, it can be dangerous for the person riding alongside the operator. For safety reasons, it is recommended that only the authorized and trained operator be on the forklift during operation.
