Forkliftaction’s “Forklift Diaries” is a place where we like to share real-life experiences of people who work in materials handling.
Our little blog aims to celebrate the huge variety of roles that make up the materials handling community and the tales that stir within.
From drivers to trainers, dealers, techs, engineers, managers, salespeople and more, we’d love to hear your story!
Nothing fancy, just a few simple words (and a photo or two) about your work with forklifts: a weird or a typical experience, a strange encounter, a challenging dilemma, a confession or a funny anecdote…
Here are some topics that may inspire you:
- Interesting worksites or cargo
- Reflections on a long career in materials handling
- Perspectives/experiences as a tech, trainer, operator, engineer, dealer, recruiter or other role in materials handling…
