Fair wear and tear?

The Fork Lift Truck Association has produced a booklet which defines the term 'fair wear and tear' in relation to fork lift trucks. The Fair Wear and Tear? guide, which is available through FLTA members, explains to hire customers - and their dealers - what is and is not acceptable as wear and tear when a truck is returned at the end of a hire period. More than 50 real-world examples help illustrate the types of damage which are unacceptable, such as damaged tyres, torn canopies and buckled backrests.
