Forklift Speed Control
Increase Site Safety by Using Forklift Speed Limiters
Forklift speed is often a factor when accidents occur, so enforcing your site speed limit through truck control systems is a simple and highly effective way to improve site safety.
Our intelligent control systems go beyond basic forklift speed limitation technology, taking site safety to even higher levels through our adaptive speed control and building zoning systems. By enforcing slower forklift speeds in high-risk areas, such as pedestrian zones, loading docks, and intersections, businesses can optimise their materials handling operations achieving a balance of safety and productivity. Manage forklift truck speeds based on changing working environments and varying levels of hazards
Available for the UK, US and the global market through our network of distributors and partners, our speed control systems are designed for companies operating single or mixed fleets of materials handling equipment – providing universal solutions for new and old diesel, LPG, and battery-powered forklifts and mobile plant.
Benefits of Forklift Speed Limiters:
- Increase Site Safety Through Enforced Speed Limits
- Intelligent Control Systems, No Loss of Power
- For Diesel, LPG and Battery Powered Material Handling Equipment
- Dynamically Manage Your Speed According To The Conditions
- Adaptive Speed Control with Zone, Proximity and Collision Avoidance Integration
- Available for Pedal, Cable and Hand-Throttle Operated Equipment

About Our Forklift Speed Limiters
Transmon’s programmable forklift speed limiters are ideal for enforcing a site speed limit on new and old equipment. An intelligent proportional control system is used to ensure hydraulic and incline driving performance levels are unaffected. Adaptive speed control can be provided when forklift speed limiters are combined with other Driver Assistance Systems such as proximity warning, active reverse, active collision avoidance and wireless zoning systems.
iTEch RSPC2 Forklift Speed Limiter
The RSPC2 Speed Limiter is suitable for diesel and LPG powered forklifts and mobile plants fitted with a mechanical-cable-operated throttle pedal. The programmable control system provides retrofitting possibilities for older equipment. The control system can enforce three different drive speeds without loss of power when combined with the kit or OEM speed sensor. EN1175:2020 compliant.
iTEch-7 Forklift Speed Limiter
The iTEch-7 Speed Limiter is suitable for diesel, LPG and battery-powered forklifts and mobile plant with a drive-by-wire accelerator pedal. The programmable forklift speed limiter system can enforce up to three different drive speeds. The forklift speed limiter monitors the actual road speed and throttles back when the maximum permissible speed threshold is reached. EN1175:2020 compliant.
iTEch RSPC3 Speed Limiter
New for 2026, the RSPC3 Speed Limiter is designed for warehouse materials handling equipment that is operated with a hand or thumb control throttle. Compatible with both 5v and 12v joystick setups, the system provides speed limiting across a range of stand-up and ride-on warehouse equipment.
The speed control system supports up to three different drive speeds and can apply temporary speed restrictions when triggered by collision avoidance and speed zone systems. Speed measurement is not required for temporary restrictions, providing flexibility across different site configurations. Latch-Mode speed management ensures a controlled speed release, preventing sudden acceleration when restrictions are lifted.
Key features
- 10-48v universal retrofit for hand/thumb throttle equipment
- Supports up to three configurable drive speeds
- Temporary speed restrictions via collision avoidance and speed zone integration
- Latch-Mode for controlled speed release
- Deployable with or without speed measurement
- Optional plug-and-play wiring harness adapters
- Compatible with most OEM speed sensors
- Designed and tested in accordance with EN1175:2020 electrical safety requirements for industrial trucks
Compatible Equipment
- Stand-up Rider Reach Trucks
- Stand-up Rider Counterbalance Forklifts
- Stand-up Rider Tow Tugs
- Ride-on Power Pallet Trucks
- Low Level Order Pickers
Designed for warehouse materials handling equipment operated with a hand or thumb control throttle:

Plug-n-Play For All Major Forklift Brands
Our iTEch-7 forklift speed limiters are designed for quick, straightforward installation with dedicated plug-n-play wiring harnesses available for all major forklift brands, including:
- Toyota
- Linde
- Hyster
- Yale
- Doosan
- Hyundai
- Jungheinrich
- Mitsubishi
- Crown
- Clark
- Manitou
- STILL
- JCB
- Volvo
Each harness connects directly to the existing throttle pedal wiring, allowing the iTEch-7 speed limiter to be integrated for a quick and simple fitment. With universal 12-24v compatibility across diesel, LPG, and battery-powered equipment, our speed control systems can be retrofitted to both new and older fleets. For older equipment fitted with a mechanical cable throttle pedal, the RSPC2 speed limiter provides a retrofit-compatible alternative.
OEM speed sensor harnesses are also available where sitewide speed enforcement is required, and the system integrates with collision avoidance technologies through a single connector for sites running forklift cameras, proximity warning, or radar systems.

Intelligent Speed Control Systems
Our intelligent speed control systems combine advanced technology with robust safety features to protect your workforce and equipment. Find out more about our complete forklift speed control solutions by exploring the section below.
Site Speed Controllers
The Transmon iTEch Control is a singular unit that combines multiple functions all from the same unit. The system monitors actual road speed and applies engine throttle restrictions as required to obtain the correct speed. Forklifts cannot exceed set speed limit.
Radar Speed Zoning
Speed Safety Zone
The Speed Safety Zone system offers our customers safe travel speeds in designated areas whilst keeping productivity at a maximum in lower-risk areas. Each gate, doorway or exit has a fixed transmitter, which can be fitted in various ways depending on the site requirements.
Road Speed Control
The new iTEch Road Speed Control helps our customers with forklift truck speeds in the warehouse. We have designed our system to detect if the travel speed of a forklift is above a pre-set speed. If the speed is too high, the system will be activated to slow the truck speed safely.
