wow, LiftOne already is a dealer for the products of Caterpillar Lift trucks, Mitsubishi Forklifts, Jungheinrich, Linde, and a few other brands, I wonder how 'arms length' this will have to be to keep both NACCO and MCFA happy?

I am guessing Elvis has really left the building now.

"it's not rocket surgery"
Just heard that Barloworld is getting out of the lift truck business in the USA and selling out to Briggs Equipment and Lift One. Guess I cannot say I am surprised they had really become a mediocre at best dealer over the last several years.

They used to be pretty daggum big. They've gotten a lot smaller in the last 4 or 5 years. I hear that they're fixin to get really, really small. There might not be enough life boats available. Did you ever see the movie Titanic?

In the Uk were called Barlow Handling a few years ago - think they are South African owned or something. Big enough to have cornered the MoD lease / buy back scheme.
