INSIDE FORKLIFTACTION
'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the yard To hear the hum of a reachstacker was hard; The safety vests hung in the lockers with care, In the hope that St. Nicholas soon would be there.
The drivers were nestled all snug in their beds, While lifting routines were stuck in their heads; With operation manuals diligently learned, Finally, some decent rest had been earned.
We don't need Santa to thank for success Because industry efforts are sure to impress. So, we thank all our readers and hope they delight: HAPPY CHRISTMAS TO ALL, AND TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT!
