Hi Chaps.

With the increaseing technology involved in forklifts and future automated forklifts (which are already filtering through) around the corner, is a huge wage increase imminent? I'm thinking more in line with factory maintenance fitters/maintenance engineers/maintenance electricians which is around a 36k basic plus bonuses and O/T.

I personally think the basic salary is very poor when you consider similar job's like HGV's and Plant attract a 28-32k basic. Hopefully things are about to change!
