The Fork Lift Truck Association has launched its ‘Safetember’ campaign, which will run next month as part of National Fork Lift Safety Month.

She lost her left leg when she was crushed by a reversing fork lift truck.

Forklift prices look set to rise in the United States.

Forklift prices look set to rise in the United States.

Business, Finance, Industry
Speculation is mounting after Crown Equipment Corporation announced it "will implement a price increase effective September 4, 2018". There’s no indication yet of the size of that increase, nor whether it will be uniform across the range. Pending price increases are not unexpected, especially in the wake of last month’s introduction of new tariffs on a range of imports from China, including forklifts and forklift parts. These imposts augment recently imposed tariffs on steel and aluminium imports – raw materials heavily used in forklift manufacture. The major importers of Chinese forklifts are being forced to increase prices, many not able to absorb the full 25% tariff. And while many importers had stocked up ahead of the tariff implementation, inventories are believed to be running ...
