Forklifts helps meet Halloween rush
Spalding, United Kingdom

Europe's largest pumpkin grower, David Bowman, has hired a fleet of Jungheinrich counterbalance forklifts to cope with its busiest period this northern Autumn.
The electric forklifts, which are onsite for two months, were used to transfer crates of harvested and washed pumpkins from the trailers that bring them in from the field to Bowman's 120,000 sqft. (11,148 sqm) store and 'pack house'. The crop had to be packed and delivered to the shelves of David Bowman's retail clients in time for Halloween.
The company grows two million pumpkins annually, which it sells to UK supermarkets as well as other suppliers in Europe.
