💛 R U OK? DAY — EVERY DAY SHOULD BE R U OK? DAY 💛

There is always someone to talk to.

Today is just another day, but it raises awareness of R U OK? and the importance of checking in with the people around us.

Every day should be R U OK? Day when it comes to friends, family, work colleagues — and even a stranger you meet in the street.

You never really know what someone else might be going through. Sometimes a simple “Are you OK?” can make all the difference.

Take a minute. Ask the question. Listen. Be there.

We are all humans after all. 💛

From everyone at West Coast Forklifts — look out for each other, not just today, but every day.

🐶 WILLSIE’S WACKY WEDNESDAY!

“I SWEAR BOSS… THE PALLET LOOKED GOOD WHEN I PICKED IT UP!” 😂

We’ve all seen a forklift operator who gets a little too confident!

But when the pallet starts leaning, the load looks dodgy and the floor suddenly becomes a swimming pool… 🚨

STOP. CHECK IT. THEN MOVE IT!

A quick pre-start and load check can save you from turning a normal Wednesday into a WACKY Wednesday! 😂

🚨 THE $20,000 INSTANT ASSET WRITE-OFF IS HERE TO STAY! 🚨

Looking at upgrading your forklift equipment?

The Australian Taxation Office has confirmed that from 1 July 2026, the $20,000 Instant Asset Write-Off is permanent for eligible small businesses.

If your business has an aggregated annual turnover of less than $10 million, you may be able to immediately deduct eligible assets costing less than $20,000 — potentially making this a great time to invest in equipment for your business.

🏗️ WILLSIE’S WACKY WEDNESDAY – THE FORKLIFT PARKING TEST! 😂

🚗 Parallel parking? Easy.
🚜 Reversing a forklift into a tight spot? Now THAT’S a skill! 😎

Ever watched someone spend 10 minutes trying to park a car in a massive car park… then wondered how forklift operators manage to squeeze a machine into a space barely bigger than the forklift itself? 😂

🤔 WACKY QUESTION OF THE WEEK:

How close is TOO close when parking a forklift?

A good forklift operator knows that parking isn’t just about getting the machine into the spot — it’s about making sure:

✅ Forks are lowered
✅ Parking brake is applied
✅ Controls are neutral
✅ The forklift isn’t blocking walkways or emergency exits
✅ The machine is left safe and ready for the next operator

Because when it comes to forklifts…

“I’ll just leave it here for a minute” is usually how the trouble starts! 😂

🤪 Willsie’s Wacky Wednesday Forklift Knowledge

People say money can’t buy happiness…

Clearly they’ve never driven a brand-new forklift with ice-cold air conditioning on a 40°C Perth day. 😎

🚜 Forklift Fact:
Keeping your tyres at the correct pressure (or maintaining solid tyres in good condition) can improve stability, tyre life and fuel efficiency.

CHEAPER ISN’T ALWAYS CHEAPER! 🔧🚜

You really do pay for what you get when it comes to service, knowledge and experience.

Choosing the cheaper option can sometimes end up costing you far more in the long run.

We recently had a customer who was pulling their hair out after spending over $5,000 trying to diagnose and repair a forklift problem.

The machine had been off the road for weeks and weeks, with parts being replaced in an attempt to find and resolve the issue.

We sent one of our mechanics who specialises in forklifts — because that’s what we do. We’re a forklift company, not a general mining equipment supplier.

Our mechanic diagnosed the problem and had the machine back up and running in less than 4 hours.

The repair required only 2 parts, some wiring and tuning.

That’s what you’re paying for when you choose an experienced forklift specialist:

🔧 Knowledge of the machines
🔧 Experience diagnosing problems
🔧 Getting the job done properly
🔧 Less unnecessary parts replacement
🔧 Less downtime
🔧 Keeping your equipment working and your business moving

Cheaper isn’t always better — sometimes it’s a false economy.

When your forklift is costing you money sitting idle, you need someone who knows what they’re looking at.

West Coast Forklifts — keeping the wheels turning.
