speaking of LPG fires in forklifts, you all probably heard about the "blue rhino" LPG refill plant [for home grill gas exchange tanks] that went up in flames this year [2013] in Florida, but did you see the news video from the beginning of the fire, that showed a forklift, with forks in the air, engulfed in flames, blocking the travel path, in front of a LPG delivery truck, which was the -2nd- thing to catch fire. I never heard an official report yet, but my money is on 'equipment malfunction' in the yard.
On this note, I am wondering about all you experts opinions as to the "best practice" as to where to mount a fire extinguisher on a forklift. [maybe that should be a different thread? since we are getting a long way from fixing Kevin's Yale]
They say when you meet a 'wise older person' you are really only meeting someone that was LUCKY enough to live through their experiences to be able to learn from them, and while I don't claim "wise" I do claim 'only lucky enough to have lived through them'.
and Swoop, -NOW- I know who you are.... lol [just kidding]
