	Inside Forkliftaction.com Contact the Forkliftaction team Normally, new product launches co-incide with major industry events or showcases like CeMAT. But we have seen several new offerings in the last few weeks from manufacturers around the world. This suggests that innovation is in top gear, and, as competition for marketshare intensifies, manufacturers are releasing new product faster than before. It also indicates that no-one is waiting for special occasions to launch new models. Instead, they’re being released as and when they’re ready - trying to get the jump on rivals as soon as possible.
