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.
Regardless of the reasons, it’s good news for buyers and dealers alike, offering more and more choice - and lower prices for older models which are still pretty impressive by any standards.

"I have experience with 90 CB Pro 5, 3 wheelers. they were 2006 models and had major issues from brand new. Another lift company sold them but we had the service contract. Because of ongoing brake issues, trucks shutting down in isles, high downtime, the customer was ready to toss me out. Then, the manufacturer sent a letter to the customer, explaining that all drive units would be changed at no charge.".
RayTech, Canada
"With all the new battery technology out there, its only a matter of time before they take over. How long do you think its going to take for electric counterbalance lifts to replace all the LPG counterbalances running around in warehouses today? 2020?2030?2040? Will it ever happen? Sound off below.".

"Can someone help me with this problem? Under the display it shows the service key symbol, the forklift is working, but i dont know what the key means and how to cancel it.".
