Humanoids are now banned from being imported into the US
Humanoids are now banned from being imported into the US

In this week’s Forkliftaction News, we look at the US ban on humanoids, what it means and why some analysts believe it has been introduced to stymie Chinese imports.

We also preview the new line of electric high-lift pallet trucks released this week by Clark and look at Jungheinrich’s partnership with a Belgian-headquartered warehouse automation developer.

Also in the news this week, Crown is celebrating 40 years of European production, a new battery reach stacker is deployed in the Netherlands, who Donkey Forklifts has added to its dealer network, and the deployment of an AMR fleet by WEBER-HYDRAULIK.
