Mustang introduces a compact machine
OWATONNA, MN, United States
Mustang Manufacturing Company Inc has introduced the Mustang 519 to its product line.

The company's first compact telehandler, manufactured at the Yankton, South Dakota plant, offers a lift height of 19 feet and a 5,500lb lift capacity.

Mustang marketing manager Doug Snorek said the 519 was an ideal entry-level machine for small-to-medium-sized contractors. The machines will be available in North and South America, Mexico and Central America.

The new Linde forklift

Linde showcases new trucks at LogiMAT
ASCHAFFENBURG, Germany
Linde's new H14 to H20 diesel and LPG forklifts were introduced at trade fair LogiMAT 2007 in Stuttgart, Germany, last month.

Manfred Hoehn, Linde's market service manager, said the forklifts replaced the Linde H12 to H20 (350 series) forklifts, introduced in 1990.

Hoehn said the "unique comfort" of Linde IC trucks was now available in the lower capacity category. The new forklifts had "accurate and safe load handling with Linde's load control, spacious cabins, top-mounted tilt jacks with decoupling for less shock and noise, and better stability".

The Aschaffenburg-made trucks, with load capacities ranging from 1.4 tons to 2.0 tons, were launched domestically in October 2006.
