Eight editors from Europe’s leading materials handling press enjoyed a visit to the NMHG Craigavon manufacturing plant recently and were treated to a true Irish experience as their visit, organised by Yale, coincided with St Patrick’s Day.
The visit was designed to showcase Yale’s new VL series of energy efficient and highly productive electric forklift trucks and to demonstrate the state of the art facilities and production methods at the Craigavon facility where Yale’s next generation of electric counterbalance forklift trucks are produced.
Feedback on the new VL series was extremely positive amongst all editors which included the UK’s ShD and Handling & Storage Solutions; Spain’s Logistica Profesional and Handling & Storage; Germany’s STAPLERWORLD; Finland’s LOGISTIIKKA, Poland’s Logistyczny and a freelance journalist from Belgium.
Our group of editors were also briefed on the extensive 90 year history of Yale, from the very first electric lift truck in 1920 and the commencement of manufacturing in the heart of the black country, to the Queen's Award for Export Achievement and the launch of Yale’s search for the oldest Yale truck still in operation today.
The visit was rounded off with a traditional Paddy’s night celebration in the heart of Dublin – we look forward to reading the editors’ reviews.
