In this week’s Forkliftaction News, we look at the life and legacy of Otmar Kaup, the founder of forklift attachment manufacturer Kaup, a true trailblazer in the materials handling sector.

We also report on two acquisitions, the launch of three new products, the opening of Hangcha’s Vietnamese sales centre and the European Union’s approval of a new hydrogen engine currently being tested in a range of equipment including materials handling machinery.

The news this week is as diverse as the sector we represent.
