Hyster's new E45-70XN2 electric forklift

Leading the news in this week’s Forkliftaction News, Hyster launches a new electric counterbalance forklift which it describes as “a high-performance evolution of a proven workhorse”.

Eneroc USA becomes the first lithium-only battery builder to be admitted to the Battery Council International, Cascade Corporation concludes its acquisition of 60% of Eurofork, UMKHA opens its new headquarters and Exide Technologies is re-awarded EcoVadis Gold.
