Heavy Metal: Big Lifts – what’s the difference?

Feature Article - 19 May 2005

by Christine Liew In 1948, a sawmill in the small Swedish village of Lidhult needed a machine to move timber. The sawmill owners bought an old truck, turned the chassis backwards and built a forklift. The machine became the envy of other sawmill owners and a demand was created. A few years later, a forklift production plant replaced the sawmill.
