By GlobalDataSpecialist warehouse
handling
- Demand for specialist very narrow
isle lift trucks suffered during 2009 as operators generally
consolidated existing fleets rather than upgrading. - Figures show slight signs of
improvement in the later stages of 2009.
Container
handlers
- A decrease in demand relating to the
downturn within the UK transport and haulage sectors.
Telescopic
handlers
- UK demand reduced significantly early
2009 due to the decline in general house building and construction
sectors. - An overcapacity within the UK sector
for building site specification examples with many currently
available on the second user market place. - It is anticipated that demand will
improve when construction projects come back online.
Rough terrain fork lift
trucks
- Demand down in 2009 again related to
the building and construction sectors, although actual prices have
remained pretty constant due to less numbers of such in the market
place.
