It’s hard for any media to compete with the interest generated by the Olympic games, but maybe it’s not such a bad thing to be distracted from the tough economic times and challenging business environment at the moment. It obviously also helps when your nation is doing well in the medals tally.
There is, of course, a serious side to the games, and those in the materials handling industry can take some pride in the role their equipment played in helping prepare the venues and in moving supplies around during the events.
Sure, this may not have the gravitas of an international forklift competition, but I’m sure many readers are glued to their TVs and will remain so for another week. If you’re in that camp, enjoy the games. If not, remember, the world will be back to normal in a short while.

"I am undertaking research on behalf of someone who is interested in importing non-OEM forklift parts for supply to the UK market. I would appreciate any feedback that members can provide. ".
Novice, United Kingdom

"One little bit of advice I would give is don't always go on price on big trucks like these The service side is much more important, so I would make sure that whoever you went with new the machines and could offer you good service back up .".
Daveilift, United Kingdom

"OSHA's requirements for daily inspection of forklifts are in 1910.178(q)(7). But, OSHA does not require that the daily forklift inspections be documented. So, it is up to the employer's discretion to determine the duration of powered industrial truck examination record retention. (Reference: 2/7/2000 OSHA Letter of Interpretation)".
