Forklift tariffs are now set at 15%

This week in Forkliftaction News, forklift imports into the US now face a lower tariff of 15%, TMH Europe signs a deal to procure recycled steel for equipment production and Amazon unveils its next-gen Proteus AMR.

As the sector marks National Forklift Safety Day in the US and UK this week, the UKMHA reports 85% of workplace incidents involving technicians occur when they are working at customers' premises. What more can be done to protect techs? Join the conversation or you can tell us what you think on our contact form.

You may have noticed the Forkliftaction website has been a bit slow recently as increased activity by AI bots has taken its toll – as many businesses can attest to. Our tech team has now successfully addressed this and the website is performing significantly faster again.

While on the topic of AI, it’s a good time to remind our readers our news stories are produced 100% by people – not AI.
