Interesting steering systems (without a steering wheel…), the announced electric whisper giants in the payload range of 10 to 18 t and Green Power in goods handling - but also scorching heat were already present at the opening on the Maimarkt grounds in Mannheim at the World of Material Handling by Linde MH.

The new Combi-SBT swap body transporter can transport a variety of swap units up to a maximum of 50 t, from standard container swap bodies to concrete wall panels, from production to storage.

Sensors in the front steering axle of the Combilift FSE allow for individual control of the two 15 kW drive motors on the rear axle. The speed of each wheel is regulated by the steering angle of the front wheels. This reduces the turning radius as well as tire wear.

The new RXE 10-16C effortlessly lifts a half-ton load to a height of 7 meters. A remarkable achievement for such a small forklift. This is made possible by the vehicle's low center of gravity and the extra-rigid construction of the lifting mast.

Toyota Material Handling's new automated underride device, the Autopilot CDI120, can be integrated into operational processes step by step or installed as a complete system in a single, targeted operation within a short time.

Low-lift pallet trucks are among the most frequently used devices for pallets and other loads that can be moved underneath over short to medium distances. The new T14 to T20 models from Linde MH make maneuvering in tight spaces easier, by integrated lithium-ion technology shortened design made possible

Hyster and Yale are two brands operating under a common corporate umbrella – but despite some overlap, they strive to establish their own distinct profiles. Yale, for example, is now launching its new N series, where each device is designed to be individually tailored to the customer.

Clark is expanding its S-Series models, available since 2018, with new diesel and LPG lifting machines with lifting capacities from 4 to 5.5 tons (S40-S55). They are available with super-elastic or pneumatic tires.

Hyster plans with new H2.0-3.5A models its existing Fortens and XT forklifts in the same load capacity class to replace. TheFurther internal combustion engine forklifts are also expected to be announced. company is promoting the models' configurability – a set of numerous functions makes the series highly adaptable.

With the electrification of the largest series, namely now also the machines in the load capacity range of ten to 18 t, the entire range of Linde Material Handling counterbalance forklifts is now available in emission-free versions.

Intralogistics system provider and forklift manufacturer Jungheinrich has given the go-ahead for its new production capacities and 350 new jobs in reach truck production with the groundbreaking ceremony in Chomutov, Czech Republic, as announced in November.

Kion presented a strong showing and undiluted results at its virtual Annual General Meeting, looking back on 2021. At his first Annual General Meeting at Kion, the new CEO, Rob Smith, highlighted the company's expertise in electric drives and battery technology.

Jungheinrich has no need to revise its figures. The forklift manufacturer reported what it describes as "business performance in line with expectations" for the first quarter. At the same time, the company acquired its 41st direct sales subsidiary, ITS Forklifts, based in Auckland, New Zealand.

The new Traigo24 series from Toyota Material Handling is available with lifting capacities of 1 ton, 1.25 and 1.5 tonnes, and lifting heights up to 6.5 m. Thanks to its small size, this compact machine is equally suitable for light to medium-duty applications in factories, warehouses and shops.

That sounds like considerable lifting power: Forklift manufacturer Jungheinrich has signed a sponsorship agreement with the young wrestler from Fribourg, Lario Kramer. The 23-year-old from Galmiz in the canton of Fribourg has already been named "Up-and-Comer of the Year" by the Swiss Wrestling Association.
