Pedal powered forklifts

Only in Japan, you say?   Why not here?

Imagine those gas and propane powered machines replaced by

clean and healthy human-powered versions. 

Cleaner air, and much quieter, except for the sound of working muscles

and vigorous breathing.

More exercise, better health, and employment for summer students (among others)

looking for work.

Which major company will be the first to go 'human powered'?
