It has been a big week of product launches for the materials handling sector.

French equipment maker Manitou launches 10 new rough-terrain and semi-industrial forklifts, Linde launches a new “unparalleled” horizontal order picker, Hyster releases a pedestrian detection dashboard, ARLYX unveils an autonomous materials handling solution for underground mines and a new BESS system for port cranes has been released in Switzerland.

With National Forklift Safety Day next Tuesday, June 9, we take a look at what is being done in the UK and US to mark the annual event which promotes all-year round safe forklift operation.

And for those who can’t get enough of forklifts at work, the Do You Even Forklift? game has launched on all major platforms, offering 65 levels of parking and physics-based challenges.
