INSIDE FORKLIFTACTION.COM

This week's call for award nominations highlights the contribution of the 'lifting' segment of the materials handling sector.
While a large part of our focus is on forklifts and horizontal transport, lifting is clearly a crucial part of moving materials and the Lifting Equipment Engineers Association plays an important role representing those who work in every aspect of the industry, from design, manufacture, refurbishment and repair, through to the hire, maintenance and operation of lifting equipment.
The awards, now in their fifth year, recognise these achievers, but the LEEA should itself be acknowledged for its contribution over the past 75 years - and its impact on training, standards setting, and examination and licensing systems.

FACT OF THE WEEK
A wolf howling at the full moon is a well-known sight in popular media, but wolves don't actually do that. Wolves howl to communicate with members of their packs or to scare other wolves away from their territory. Each wolf has his own distinct howl. A wolf's howl can be heard up to 10 miles away.
