The new forklifts report your every move. The old ones just leak oil.

Plant manager showed me the telematics dashboard on the new electrics — every start, stop, lift, even how hard you set the forks down. Meanwhile the old propane Yale we keep for parts just sits there leaking hydraulic oil like it's got a pulse it can't explain. I used to hate the leaks. Now they feel like the only honest thing about a machine.
