Jungheinrich reports an increase in H1 incoming orders

In this week’s Forkliftaction News, we report on Jungheinrich’s H1 financial results and the reasons it has adjusted down its EBIT forecast for the year.

We also look at some of the highlights from MHEDA’s Q3 2026 Economic Advisory Report including ways businesses can help to future-proof themselves, Toyota Material Handling North America’s USD100 million investment in a new counterbalance forklift manufacturing site, and the monthly Logistics Managers Index which is a key indicator of the health of the US logistics sector.

Also in this week’s news is OshKosh Corporation’s investment in a robotics company, the delivery of eight hybrid straddle carriers from China to Namibia and a response to the UK appointing a Minister for Logistics.
