The hunt is on this week for old forklifts. Firstly, Forkliftaction.com is assisting Yale to track down the oldest Yale forklift truck or pallet truck still in operation today. Part of the manufacturer's 90th anniversary celebrations, the competition is open to operators of Yale forklift trucks or pallet trucks that are at least 20 years old in Europe, the Middle East and North Africa. The prize is a trip to New York, the birthplace of the very first battery-powered low-lift platform truck in 1920. You can find more information on the competition in our Photo Galleries.
Meanwhile, a reader is keen to identify a mystery old forklift and you can end the debate by going to the Discussion Forum and naming the equipment for once and for all.
