Although Caterpillar was aware that Inland's specifications included a deadman's switch and that Cal- umet modified the forklift units in order that it might comply with the specs, /7 it did not inspect the modified forklifts after the alterations were completed and ready for delivery.
Caterpillar had no involvement in (1) the decision to in- stall a deadman's switch; (2) the engineering or mechanical installation of the switch; or (3) the brand of switch to be installed.
The plaintiff contends that because Caterpillar knew that the forklifts were to be used in the steel making process, and in a building subject to extreme heat because of the presence of oper- ating blast furnaces, it had a duty to ensure that the forklifts were equipped with heat resistant seats.
