Remote Ground Mount Plus (RGM+) provides the next level of safety in the forklift transport mounting process. RGM+ builds on MOFFETT's Remote Ground Mount (RGM) feature, which allows operators to enter and exit the machine while the machine is still sitting on the ground, by adding the ability to side shift to correct alignment issues prior to retracting the forklift into the mounting kit.
