The Golden Gabelstapler awarded to Montréal Hydraulique 04 by Jungheinrich.

Jungheinrich has recognised a Canadian company for its sales efforts throughout 2008 by awarding it the Golden Gabelstapler (German for forklift).

This is the second time Montréal Hydraulique 04 has received this recognition. It first won the award in 2007.

Jungheinrich also presented its Elite Sales Awards to five of its top-selling dealers for 2008. The yearly awards are based primarily on sales volume.
Mid-Ohio Material Handling was named the second top dealer and winner of the Silver Award. Ontario-based Hewitt Material Handling was presented with the Bronze Award as the third-best performer.

Virginia-based CFE Equipment Corp was recognised as Jungheinrich's fourth top dealer and Norlift of Oregon, Inc. of Portland, Oregon was recognised as the fifth top dealer.

Awards were also presented to the top three sales managers for 2008. Eric Leclerc, sales manager at Montréal Hydraulique 04, Frank Mezgec, vice president of Mid-Ohio Material Handling, and Frank Stevens, sales manager at Norlift of Oregon, were all recognised for their efforts.

The award winners won a week's holiday in Barcelona, Spain accompanied by Jungheinrich's executive management.

The 10 top salespeople were also recognised.
