Discussion:
Forklift- Technician ratio

I was wondering how many lifts a tech is supposed to handle. I was told the other day the industry standard is 35 to 1. I've personally handled up to around 120 lifts, but alot of those were ones with very low usage ( about 4 hrs/week). I've never worked for a forklift dealer so I have no idea what a dealership expects of it's tech's.

Fact of the week
In March 2002, identical twins in Finland died on the same day in similar accidents within hours of each other. A 70-year-old man was killed by a truck while cycling; hours later, his twin brother was killed by a truck on the same road, about a mile away, before the family had been informed of the first accident.
