As a trainer, and definitely not a service tech, I have a tech question for you. From my understanding, and knowledge, all forklifts in Canada, the data plates, must be in the imperial measurement system. Although Canada is a metric country, data plates are supposedly to be in imperial, and if so, metric beside it.

If you were a service tech, and you were performong an annual safety inspection, and the forklift being saftied had a metric only data plate, would you strongly urge the client to switch over to imperial? Would you certify the truck even though it has a metric data plate?
