how do you think is it really important for operators what colour is their forklift?
oh. ok. I am waiting... thanks a lot. by the way, has anybody already talked about this theme?
Ah...if you want history you should refer to the Book recently published by TVH called "100 Years Forklift Trucks". I will send you an email.
thank you too Rodger... dont you have any historical information on your web-site?
You could get a start on this project by searching our forkliftaction website.
You could go to the "Spec Checker"...see the button on left hand side of the home page,,,search the major brands and then you will find photos of a lot of the new model machines......or......probably better to go to the "Business Directory" and search major countries in the category "Manufacturers Index". In this way if the manufacturers have a shopfront, you get links to their websites and can see at a glance the style of their machines. You will note that forklifts made in Italy have the famous Italian design flare.
So start your search for "Italy" in "Manufacturers Index" and then "Germany", then "USA" then "Canada" then Europe" etc
Hope this helps
thank you, Joseph. thats very kind of you to help me )))

If the new Jungheinrich rotating cabin lift truck pans out, it will revolutionize standard forklift truck manufacturing. It ergonomically addresses some operator sprain and strain causes by rotating the operator in the direction of travel in lieu of having the operator look over his/her shoulders while backing. It also improves travel visibility thereby increasing pedestrian safety. With a few additional tweaks, it could also offer other ergonomic improvements. The styling is also acceptable.
Forklift functionality, however, will always beat forklift styling. Linde probably has the most futuristic look for a forklift. Buyers, however, want more than futuristic looks.
As for Komatsu, I feel that they need a new color scheme. Their trucks remind me of junkyard assembled cars in the U.S. where the owners replace damaged exterior parts with salvaged parts of mismatched colors.
