	Inside Forkliftaction.com Contact the Forkliftaction team As you read this newsletter, you are in the company of almost 53,000 other industry folk. Importantly, most of our readers are hands-on forklift users - either operators or fleet managers. The next largest block of readers is, of course, forklift dealers. North America remains our biggest audience, accounting for more than four in every 10 readers, but Europe is catching up, making up a third of our audience. One of the reasons we ask readers to register and provide some details is so that we can understand our audience and tailor our offerings to their needs. So rather than simply forwarding this on to colleagues, please get them to register for their own membership so we can serve you better.   Local News FROM THE FORKLIFTACTION.COM EDITORIAL TEAM Urgent reminder to convert forklift licences Australasia News Adelaide, South Australia Forklift drivers in South Australia cannot afford to delay any further in converting their pre-1995 qualifications to the new High Risk Work Licence as the September deadline approaches, see {statlink|2|Forkliftaction.com...
