Our thoughts go out this week to the victims of the Oklahoma tornado. As the community tries to get back to normal and counts the cost of the disaster, there's no doubt the forklift sector will play its part in the recovery - as we've seen in almost every catastrophe in recent times.
There will surely be massive challenges ahead for the people affected by the tornado, and we wish them well in the rebuilding and healing process.
