At times, it felt like we wouldn't make it through 2021. Not only did we face wave after wave of pandemic infections, there were natural disasters, supply chain challenges and a ship stuck in the Suez Canal for a couple of weeks.
But through it all, materials handling kept on doing what it does best - and we saw strong performance from manufacturers, distributors and dealers around the globe.
We also saw a plethora of new models and plenty of product innovation.
You can read about the year's highs and lows in this week's special retrospective.
Meanwhile, the whole Forkliftaction team would like to thank our supporters - readers, contributors and advertisers - for the loyal support.
And personally, I'd like to thank my Forkliftaction colleagues for their efforts over the past 12 months.
Wishing you all the very best for 2022. Hopefully, when we look back this time next year, we'll have much happier memories.
