Yes, and no, but I will take some at our next regional.
The forklift motor is mounted at the top of a lift frame and the gears were mounted on the outside of the frame so it was definitely a pinching hazard. We felt the drive gearboxes were one of those "well, if you really want to stick your fingers in there, you're asking for it" things, but better safe than sorry.
