Deepak Kataria

CWT-SML Logistics forklift driver Deepak Kataria retained his title in the Forklift Challenge held as part of the Materials Handling Middle East 2019 exhibition.

Kataria beat 40 other contestants over three rounds.

The participants, who came from 15 companies, were put through a series of tests of safety, speed and efficiency.

Kataria's rivals work at Lulu Centre Logistics, DP World, Agility and Global Shipping and Logistics, among others.

We hope to include a full report on the three-day show, which hosted close to 100 exhibitors from over 30 countries, in next week's news.
