A Moffett truck-mounted forklift

Hiab, the parent company of Moffett Engineering Ltd, is moving Moffett's forklift production to the Dundalk, Ireland factory, to improve production efficiency.

Moffett, which claims a 60% global market share for the truck-mounted forklift segment, produces its forklifts from plants in Ireland and the Netherlands.

Assembly operations in the Oude Leije plant in the Netherlands will be phased out by year end, but Hiab plans to establish a technical support centre there. The centre will provide technical and spare parts support; operator, safety and service training; and refurbishment of trade-in machines.

Moffett BV managing director Keith Quigley tells Forkliftaction.com News he cannot comment further because Moffett is currently finalising discussions with workers' unions in the Netherlands.

A trip down memory lane...

It’s the year 2000. You’re in front of a boxy beige desktop waiting for the screeching ramblings of your dial-up to reach its finale. You go to Yahoo!, MSN, or maybe AOL, and start the mind-numbing process of finding your very specific needle in the digital haystack. And with web pages loading one image at a time, patience isn’t just a virtue – it’s a requirement!

As clumsy as this early iteration seems now, this technology was the great enabler that allowed Forkliftaction to connect to the industry across the globe.

To everyone who has connected with Forkliftaction in the past 25 years, thank you for your contribution to our success! We feel deeply touched by your words of encouragement.
