The new Materials Handling Index (MHI) has been a huge success and we are overwhelmed with the response from the Forkliftaction.com community. Every day more forklift users worldwide gather contact details from the extensive database of member companies.
Due to the healthy response, businesses will now be listed free in one MHI category per business address. Companies can buy additional business categories, maximising exposure to potential sales, for a nominal annual fee.
The optional, higher-ranking Priority Listings, which feature a company logo, a service summary, a website link and complete contact details, attract 20 times more traffic than basic listings.
For more information, contact Penryn Maddrell, Forkliftaction.com's marketing consultant, by email on www.forkliftaction.com.

Happy Birthday to Forkliftaction.com News's European correspondent, Luc De Smet, who celebrates a milestone birthday today (he's not saying how old he is!). Congratulations Luc!

This week Forkliftaction.com's research team has revised and added specifications in the Equipment Catalogue for the Toyota range of forklifts and tow motors, manufactured at Toyota's Takahama plant and sold in the Asia-Pacific region, Oceania, Africa, Latin America and the Middle East. If you deal with this brand, please check our entries and contact research manager Rodger Lamb if changes are required.
