	Inside Forkliftaction.com Contact the Forkliftaction team Last year was a huge one. From the UK decision to leave the EU to the election of Donald Trump in the United States, there were so many surprises. Materials handling went through its share of radical change, with the rise of Industry 4.0, the adoption of new energy technology and ongoing industry rationalisation. But, amid all the change and uncertainty, the industry maintained its sense of community and duty, rallying to help out in times of disaster and getting behind all kinds of causes. Forklift businesses, large and small, also continued working together to improve operator safety and to raise public awareness about the risks. As we enter a new year, there's no doubt there will be fresh challenges, and if we have learned one thing at Forkliftaction over the past 16 years, it is that forklift folk are as tough as the equipment they work with. All at Forkliftaction.com hope that we - our own team, our readers, our supporters and the industry as a whole - overcome any obstacles, embrace all opportunities and continue to enjoy the spirit of co-operation that makes this industry so special.   This Week's Feature Editorial articles by Forkliftaction News    Another big year for materials handling There was plenty of activity in the materials handling market in 2016 - and the market growth looks like continuing in 2017.

[FORKLIFTACTION EDITORIAL CALENDAR] In The Discussion Forums "On Saturday the Owner of Equipco, Carl Swanson died. What will this mean for the future of Equpco with YHG reducing the number of dealers. Looks like another Hyster/Yale dealer.". malcolm1, United States "Kb up till 80s or so ,hands down perkins. The asian built engs ,in my opinion are ecliping all others. They.dont seem to wet stack,burn your eyes,shake hard on idle or a pain to start. All I've ever owned were cats ,clarks, and whites with perkins that all behaved the same way. All outdated and on the way out. Rub". Ruben, United States "With the increaseing technology involved in forklifts and future automated forklifts (which are already filtering through) around the corner, is a huge wage increase imminent? I'm thinking more in line with factory maintenance fitters/maintenance engineers/maintenance electricians which is around a 36k basic plus bonuses and O/T.". alain_prost, United Kingdom [FORKLIFTACTION FORUMS] Job Vacancies 1.
