Specialist 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.
