Well, I don't know what are the standards prescribed in your contract with the customer, but for me it's hard to imagine how to make a proper inspection in accordance to manufacturer requirements within such rate.
In 6000 hours you must replace at least 12 times engine oil, fuel (ev LPG) filters, 3 times hydraulics filters (usually expensive)+ oil, on some trucks transmission filters, 6 times air filters, belts, etc.
Plus a lot of checking, lubricating, testing.
For an average IC truck, properly made inspection takes 2 to 6 hours of labour.
For electric trucks it takes less time, but it's pretty much work to do either.
I can only imagine such rates for the simple pedestrian controlled trucks.

Fact of the week
At the opening ceremony of the Sydney Harbour Bridge in 1932, marching bands were instructed to walk out of step as they crossed the bridge. This unusual directive was given as a precaution due to concerns about the bridge's structural integrity during its early use.
