Thanks for the reference to "100 Years Forklift Trucks". I missed its media release in newsletter #214.

The book can be purchased in Canada, Mexico, and the United States through Systems Material Handling Company (SMHCO) which is a subsidiary of TVH Forklift Parts (Belgium). Google: SMHCO or use the forkliftaction. com business directory for toll free number. Search for: SMH; Category - Parts, Components and Accessories - New & Used.

SMHCO is a wholesale distributor but will sell the book direct. If you have problems with a sales person when ordering the book by phone because you are not a wholesale customer, ask to speak to the Sales Manager.

The book (200 pages) comes in two versions so you will have to specify which version you want to order. One version is Dutch/French and the other version is English/German.

I received my English/German copy today and have already read most of it. I find the book very informative. It definitely is a forklift historical book worth having.
