More useful in this regard normal scooters appear to be accepted in Czech warehouses and if you were to peak into a facility today you're highly likely to see an inventory person scooting across the floor from point a to point b 500 meters away.Juliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02381204473168533313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4763772100015353700.post-4818253289839263012009-01-05T13:24:00.000+00:002009-01-05T13:24:00.000+00:00Avus - part two.

I did it several months ago with "oblation".<BR/><BR/>Julia: As editor of a magazine dealing with logistics (where pallet trucks, fork trucks, roller conveyors, etc, all play significant roles) I was supposed to behave myself with regard to the technology. Hence no racing. I imagine it would be a bumpy ride since both forks are offset from the centreline.Roderick Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16828395545197001637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4763772100015353700.post-46303587571665708132009-01-05T11:31:00.000+00:002009-01-05T11:31:00.000+00:00Ode to the pallet jack (called paletak here)... Ha...Ode to the pallet jack (called paletak here)... Have you ever raced two across a warehouse floor? I have only sedately cruised on one (think giant unwieldy scooter), but I have witnessed hot contests. Myself, I prefer to use them for their normal purpose and surprise suppliers by demonstrating that even management (and a woman at that) can move pallets weighing a ton with just a few flicks of the wrists and a tug here and there!Juliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02381204473168533313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4763772100015353700.post-45106284383523761482009-01-04T11:09:00.000+00:002009-01-04T11:09:00.000+00:00...and also Ursula Andress!The long/short sentence......and also Ursula Andress!<BR/><BR/>The long/short sentence thing has always given me pleasure, but I never knew it had a name (although I guess all written mannerisms must have).

I clicked your photograph to see if I could read the logo on the truck but it didn't enlarge. Not the BT logo though I guess, but if not whose?<BR/>A neat and beautiful thing is a pallet truck.
