I've got two early 1980s Toyota forklifts that run on propane.
I understand that there's a zero admissions requirement by 2009.

At the same time, I've been running a very lean budget. I'd rather
not have to buy new forklifts, but have been told (in one version of the story)
that I'll have to.

Anyone know for sure?

I wonder if older forklifts are "grandfathered" into the law, the way older cars are grandfathered
in for emissions testing?

Fact of the week
Foundling hatches are safe, anonymous drop-off points for unwanted infants, allowing parents in crisis a way to surrender a baby safely without fear of punishment, ensuring the child is rescued and cared for. The concept started in the 12th century, was abandoned in the late 19th century, then reintroduced in 1952. It has since been adopted in many countries.
