WL Applications
Based on 2012 Conjoint Study

 34% surveyed: 2,000+ hours on their wheel  86% of operators had buckets
loader per year  50% had forks as attachments
 Total surveyed: averaged 1,509 hours per year
The average hours per year was higher for CAT and More Volvo operators had forks as attachments than
Volvo users than for Case or Deere any other brand
