Welcome to issue #192 of Forkliftaction.com's newsletter! We have an interesting line-up of stories for you this week. Be sure to read this month's feature focusing on manual materials handling equipment by Damien Tomlinson. This two-part feature will be Damien's last article for Forkliftaction.com In this issue, we have included a riveting tale of how JCB employee Richard Galley and his wife Kristin Meredith survived the tsunami horror while on holiday in Phuket. Galley, who has worked for JCB for 13 years, said: "We realise how lucky we are, especially as we continued to watch the events unfold on the news."
Our thoughts remain with those who lost loved ones in the tragedy.
Forkliftaction.com would also like to apologise for an error in last week's newsletter. Rodger Lamb reported that all major US manufacturers were present at ProMat 2005. This was not the case as we were later informed that US manufacturer Crown was not represented.
