    I actually laughed at that and had to explain this to my bewildered wife.

    But there actually is a difference between forklifts and other powered industrial equipment that you also forks on. Logging and sawmill operations usually need more versatility than a forklift can offer and their forked equipment is usually closer to farm equipment than anything else.

      Ha. Yeah, I went for the joke, but I actually used to work for a construction equipment rental company, and one of our common items was material handlers (i.e. boom forklifts). All that to say, I’ve driven one before!

      But I stand by the joke. Glad you enjoyed it. Hope your wife did too.
