I want to ensure that TE is always moving forward just for animation on a 2 directional AGV aisle. Currently i have code to identify if TE is in reverse, but on rotating TE 180 degree it comes to original orientation and looks like it's moving in reverse.

Set the "Stop and Rotate" threshold to below 180° and the "Switch to Reverse" threshold to above 180°.
Then also increase the rotation speed, so the turning doesn't take several minutes.
You won't see the forklift rotate over time since it's running its own animation for the forks. It will swap directions instantly once the rotation time has elapsed.
About the method you tried: The AGV network uses kinematics to move the travellers. Those are constantly updated and mandate the position and orientation in the model. It is not possible to manually change the position or rotation of an AGV without hooking into the AGV system.
