Briggs could if they wanted buy any company in the forklifts industry including all manufacturers, apart from maybe Toyota. Briggs through there owner Sammons are probably in the top two financially backed companies in the industry.


But i don't think they will take over Rushlift , i think if Rushlift sell it will be to Doosan. Doosan can't afford to let Briggs take over Rushlift. Doosan will look at Cat after the Briggs takeover Briggs moved out all the cat trucks and replaced them with Yale over a couple of years. If they were to do the same with Rushlift move out Doosan and replace them with Yale , Doosan will have no ware to go. So i think Doosan will say to Rushlift name your price because if they don't they will struggle just like cat has done since Briggs took over.

Fact of the week
The use of "hello" as a telephone greeting is attributed to Thomas Edison. He is said to have suggested it as a simpler alternative to other greetings, such as "Do I get you?" or "Are you there?".
