INSIDE FORKLIFTACTION
Sometimes, one is especially proud to be part of the materials handling industry. When you hear of forklift companies supporting recovery efforts, such as after the recent floods in central Europe and China, you really feel the need to pat them on the back.

See our story this week on DHL's efforts to distribute more than 1 billion vaccine doses in more than 160 countries and you can't miss the forklifts at the centre of the action.
They say when the going gets tough, the tough get going. And when it gets very tough, they use forklifts!
