In this week’s Forkliftaction News, we look at the November Logistics Manager’s Index which has dropped to the lowest it has been since June 2024.

We report on a ruling by an Indian High Court that forklifts used only for materials handling at a private warehouse are considered motor vehicles under the relevant legislation and must be registered.

We also have a look at the key themes coming out of the TOC Asia event, report on Clarks’ new lithium forklift series and Yale Lift Truck Technologies new Li-ion battery and charger system.

Also in the news is an Indian company which has doubled its fleet to have what may be the world’s largest lithium-ion powered forklift fleet, and see which US manufacturer is collaborating with global giant Kalmar to have its equipment distributed internationally.
