If your idea of fixing a ‘check engine’ light is to cover it with duct tape, pay serious attention to this article; it might just save yourself a lot of pain and money.

It can be confusing to get a grip on which licence you need for your forklift, which is why it is essential that you make sure you acquire the correct one.

Ever since the inception of the modern forklift, manufacturers figured it was a good idea to use batteries to power them—even as far back as 1906, when many machines were still operated by steam or diesel. More than a century later, and batteries still are king when it comes to powering forklifts. Therefore, it is in the forklift owner’s best interest to ensure that the batteries in their forklift fleet are well maintained.

We all love them. As they say, a dollar saved is a dollar earned. Nothing could be truer when it comes to hiring expensive machinery. A good deal can save your company thousands; conversely, a rip-off merchant can burn through your cash reserves like your cash was coated in litres of diesel from a faulty forklift. Speaking of which: value isn’t just about the cheapest deal; consideration should also be made about the quality of the units you hire. What good is a cheap forklift if it costs you thousands of dollars and valuable man-hours just to keep the blasted thing running?

It’s easy to declare that your company is trustworthy, but we all know that actions speak louder than words. Perhaps the easiest way of showing our commitment to helping companies make the right forklift choices (rather than what would net our company the most money on a short-term basis) is that we don’t try to hide the fact that sometimes the right decision is to purchase a forklift instead of hire one.
