Forklift shopping
The yard is buzzing and we need machinery to handle the volume. Logs and slabs are very heavy and they can only be moved by machine. Currently, we have two hyster forklifts and are looking for a third and forth. We just looked at a one which is the same as our other two. Repairs and familiarity are key. Besides the fact, it's a great machine. Then there was the Go Cart perfect for the yard and all the people who get lost coming to the back, now we can go get them :)
