Hi,

I think the pallet, load and Europe real estate answers are all relevant to answering the question.

On a similar note, what are your views on automation? Perhaps the US has larger warehouses and its also more automated? And would that factor into the use of fewer forklifts?

And along those lines, I noticed that the Kiva robots (acquired by Amazon) seem very compelling from a pick and pack perspective. Do you see that as a very likely competitor to forklifts in the near future?

Thanks again.

Fact of the week
The use of "hello" as a telephone greeting is attributed to Thomas Edison. He is said to have suggested it as a simpler alternative to other greetings, such as "Do I get you?" or "Are you there?".
