Fri, 11 Sep 2009 17:15:00 GMT

Ability Handling ran a news story on Monday 6th October 2008 highlighting the dangers of not complying with 'Thorough Examination' , you may remember this?

With this many companies operating fork lift trucks in the Yorkshire area may be risking prosecution and serious accidents through ignorance of ‘Thorough Examination’. Often described as the fork lift truck’s equivalent of a car’s MOT test, but much stricter, Thorough Examination is a legal requirement for every truck aged 12 months or above whether the truck is owned or hired.
