🏁 What a Night at Brewerton Speedway! 🏁

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who stopped by our tent during Race Night at Brewerton Speedway last Friday evening!

From raffles, giveaways, and our popular Prize Drop game to meeting members of the T&J team, it was an incredible night complete with beautiful weather and a fantastic crowd made that made for a perfect evening at the track!

One of the biggest attractions of the night was our Toyota forklift, where kids (and a few adults too!) had the opportunity to climb in, grab the wheel, and snap some memorable photos. It was wonderful seeing so many families stop by and join in the fun.

We're also grateful to Helping Hounds Dog Rescue for joining us and bringing along a couple of their friendly four-legged ambassadors. They were a huge hit with visitors of all ages and helped make our tent an even more welcoming place to gather.

A special thank you to Brewerton Speedway for hosting another outstanding event and providing a fun-filled night for the community.

And finally, a BIG shoutout to our amazing T&J crew who helped plan, set up, staff the booth, engage with visitors, and make the evening such a success.

Thank you to everyone who came out to see us - we loved being part of such a great night and look forward to seeing you again soon!

🚧 Forklift Friday Safety Tip 🚧

The Most Dangerous Forklift Habit Operators Still Ignore?

🚫It’s not speeding.
🚫It’s not sharp turns.
🚫It’s not even distracted driving.

πŸ‘‰It’s not wearing a seatbelt.

Most forklift tip-over fatalities occur when operators are not restrained inside the forklift's protective zone. In a split second, a routine task can turn into a life-changing accident.

And here’s something many people don't realize:

Experience doesn't always reduce risk. Sometimes it increases it.

When operators perform the same tasks day after day, it's easy to become comfortable, skip steps, or think, "I've done this a thousand times."

That's when complacency can creep in.

βœ… Buckle up every time.
βœ… Complete your pre-shift inspection.
βœ… Follow safe operating procedures.
βœ… Stay focused on your surroundings.

A seatbelt takes only seconds to use, but it could save your life.

At T&J, we're committed to helping our customers create safer workplaces through forklift operator training, refresher certifications, train-the-trainer programs, and workplace safety evaluations.

Stay SAFE and have a GREAT Forklift Friday!
