Hello, this is a question for the independent forklift repair business owners out there. I am currently a forklift technician for a Yale hyster dealer and I enjoy working on forklifts as I find it different and better than the automotive side. At some point I would like to have my own business, however one thing for me is accessing service, repair and diagnostic aids when I do. My question is, how do I get over that hump of not having the troubleshooting info as we all know many manufacturers in the material handling industry are very strict when it comes to accessing that. Obviously I know I'll have the knowledge of most mechanical repairs but it's mostly electrical troubleshooting and wiring issues id be a bit afraid of getting into. Tia

The word "robotics" was coined by Russian-born American science-fiction writer Isaac Asimov who first used the word in 1942 in his short story 'Runabout'. He characterised robots as helpful servants and as "a better, cleaner race."
