Cayden · Answer 1

Well if the sawmill makes 500 2x4's per hour and runs for 3 different 4 hour shifts a day, its going for 12 hours. Then if the forklift can move 10 bundles of 50 in one hour that is 500 2x4s. So it will take 12 hours to load a full days worth of production. In other words, the answer is 12.
