Like-minded firms, largely from the United States, lined up against the dominant force in the material handling market – lift trucks – at NA08, Cleveland, the largest material handling show in the Americas this year, last month (April). And for exhibitors at CeMAT, the mission statement reads the same.

Read a full preview to the show (link below).

A full round-up will appear in the June issue of Hoist.
