There's no escaping this environmental consciousness wave. This week, Forkliftaction.com's news coverage includes an item on Nissan Forklift Corp North America's "green program" - a major environmental initiative in the USA. Meanwhile, there's also some valuable information which will help American forklift owners claim a 50 cent per gallon tax credit if they use propane. It appears very few eligible operators even know about the perk. The incentive clearly makes it worthwhile doing one's bit for the environment.
And a couple of quick corrections to last week's newsletter: In our story about Translift Bendi, there was a reference to the overall UK market for reach AND articulated forklifts being about 3,000 units. We have been informed that the market for reach trucks alone is about 3,000, while articulated sales in the UK are an additional 1,000 a year.
And does an upside-down letter really matter? Well, when we refer to the Maxx brand as the Waxx brand, it certainly does. Apologies to anyone inconvenienced by the errors.
