Sorry for double posting, phone struggles.
I know why you would want to turn that down to half speed for control but that still might be difficult for the driver in the heat of the moment. I'd seriously recomended some kind of string potentiometer or encoder being added so that the forklift can be mostly autonomous. For what you're doing, with a state machine and PID control you could get it down to "Press X to pick up a tote".
