Zusammenfassung:Provided are systems and methods for monitoring the position of a handle (28) of a material handling vehicle (20) comprising a handle, a first sensor (70) positioned along the material handling vehicle, in particular on the mounting block (60) of the handle, a second sensor (72) positioned along the handle, and a controller (26) configured to retrieve first positional information from the first sensor, retrieve second positional information from the second sensor, and compare the first positional information with the second positional information. The controller can adjust the operation of at least one of a lift motor and a drive motor of the material handling vehicle based on the comparison of the first positional information with the second positional information. The sensors are accelerometers or gyroscopes.
