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.
