"Have An Exceptional Day!"
I got 39 years, (was a Journeyman level tech in 1974) but I ain't all that convinced that it something to brag about...
almost kinda like I was too stubborn or much of a 'thick skull' to be a used car salesperson.

1917, Clark, USA
1919, Towmotor, USA
1920, Yale & Towne, USA
These dates reflect when machines were first built and sold to the public. There may have been earlier precursors that led to the development of actual fork lift trucks that were not marketed.
