This weekend sees one of the highlights of the forklift calendar - the annual US Open Forklift Rodeo & Safety Expo in Springfield, OH. It looks like breaking all previous records with 81 participants from 40 teams already registered. Of particular significance is the participation of the winning team from a similar contest held earlier this year in Portugal. And as the event moves towards "World Cup" status, it will also host visitors from the UK and Canada who are looking to join in the action next year. Of course, Forkliftaction.com has been a staunch supporter of the event - to the extent that our US sales manager has been given an honorary title -"Brumby". Rodger Lamb is, of course, thrilled all the way to his hooves! Anway, good luck to all the contestants and we'll be reporting the results next week.
