A heavenly omen?
Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it's Superfork!

That was the consensus recently when fork arm manufacturer Vetter was showing off a new turntable ladder to the local fire brigade in Burbach.

It was undoubtedly a fully tapered fork arm with TWS suspension, quipped one observer.

Managing director Arnold Vetter sees the cloud formation as an omen: "This is definitely a clear sign of hope in turbulent times!"
