Why isn there a fixed fee for Thorough Examination – like a cars MOT fee?
Unlike a car, a fork lift truck cannot easily be taken to a testing centre. The inspector must come to the fork lift truck. The distance and time involved in travelling, which will vary between inspections, must be reflected in the price. The time taken for the inspection will depend upon the type of equipment being examined. Materials handling equipment is much more diverse in its construction and use than cars, so it’s impossible to standardise on the time taken for an examination. Again, this affects the cost to the examining company and hence the cost to the customer.
