Fenwick Experience Tour 2014.

Forklift Cup is turning ten - and drivers from all over the world will be vying for the title World Champion for the first time.

From September 18 to 20 the Forklift Cup, the forklift drivers' championships, will be held for the tenth time. In the nine years since the first event, over 16,000 drivers alone in Germany have taken their starting positions to the cheers of nearly 100,000 spectators.

The anniversary Forklift Cup will be celebrated in midtown Aschaffenburg next to the city's renowned castle Schloss Johannisburg. On this occasion the competitions will for the first time include a World Team and Singles Championship in addition to the German Championship and the company team contest. During the past months about 2.000 drivers worldwide competed in regional and national contests in order to qualify for the World Championships. Drivers from 18 countries succeeded - next to those from Germany drivers from Austria, Belgium, China, the Czech Republic, Estonia, France, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Russia, Slovakia, Spain, UK and the US will pit their skills against each other.

"The Forklift Cup is an absolute recipe for success - in Germany it has established itself as the most outstanding event in the sector, and the best drivers are being treated like stars in their home towns. In addition, we have made a key contribution to work safety in production and warehouse logistics," concluded Emil Schneider, Forklift Cup Tournament Director and Head of Marketing Germany at Linde Material Handling. "For a number of years now, the format has been catching on in other countries as well. The international drivers who had competed here in Aschaffenburg have been inspiring their colleagues at home. The time has come for the first World Singles Championship!"
