Briggs Equipment has landed a Yale rental contract worth more than USD1 million from Rssini Rheem SA, Mexico's largest automotive spring manufacturer.

The contract, signed in September, will see Briggs supply 32 Yale GP050 and GP080 forklifts, and 28 hydraulic lift tables. Briggs says it won the contract due to its reputation in the market. There were five other undisclosed contenders for the contract.

Rssini Rheem had operated a variety of plant-owned forklifts. They were given to Briggs as a down payment on the contract amount.

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.
