The tide of new products continues, and this week we report on a few new offerings which reflect broader industry trends.
The move to electrification sees MacGregor debut a fully electrically driven heavy-duty transloading crane. Hubtex, meanwhile, has released its new RoxX electric heavy-duty compact forklift.
Also on the electric front, Hyundai Material Handling will be offering OneCharge lithium ion battery technology to customers via its North American dealer network.
Of course, product development for ICE forklifts has not slowed, with Clark releasing new Stage V HMC diesel and LPG engines for its popular GTS series.
So, despite the economic pressures, supply chain challenges and geopolitical tensions, there is still plenty of choice of materials handling equipment

FACT OF THE WEEK
The earliest known production of steel is seen in pieces of ironware excavated from an archaeological site in Anatolia and are nearly 4,000 years old, dating from 1800 BC. The main reasons for the popularity of steel are the relatively low cost of making, forming, and processing it, the abundance of its two raw materials (iron ore and scrap), and its unparalleled range of mechanical properties.
