Discussion:
Average operating hours - replacement cycles

I am doing a bit of research on replacement cycles for reachstackers - and the major decision drivers for replacement (cost/efficiency). What are your experiences wrt:
1) Average annual operating hours for your full/empty reachstackers? - lets say application in terminal/port intermodal set-up,
2) Replacement cycle for same (in hours)?
3) Do you use any efficiency/cost driven models to help you with the replacement/rebuild decisions?

Fact of the week
The black box flight recorder was invented by Australian scientist David Warren in the mid-1950s. While initially met with indifference in Australia, his invention gained international recognition, particularly in the UK, and is now a mandatory piece of safety equipment on all commercial aircraft.
