CLARK Material Handling Company, a top-ten global manufacturer of forklift trucks and spare parts, announces its support for and participation in National Forklift Safety Day (NFSD) on June 8, 2021, as part of its commitment to the material handling industry and in partnership with the Industrial Truck Association (ITA).

Improvements in forklift operator and pedestrian safety through different stakeholders working together—manufacturers, dealers, employers, and employees as well as federal and state safety officials—continue to drive an overall decline in the forklift accident rate. 

“We know a safe operator is a trained operator, and a trained operator is a safer operator. Knowing that, we continue to promote proper training and safety at every opportunity,” said Dennis Lawrence, President and CEO of CLARK Material Handling Company. “The very strong lift truck demand experienced in today’s business environment makes the need for continuous awareness about safety and training a must.” 

Following along with the activities coordinated through the ITA and its member companies, CLARK will promote National Forklift Safety Day with a special employee program at its North American headquarters in Lexington, Kentucky. 

“The National Forklift Safety Day program promotes the idea that safety is a shared goal. We are very proud that our ITA member companies and dealers support this initiative. Each year we look forward to this national event, and in particular, to bringing forklift safety to the attention of the greater material handling community,” Lawrence concluded.

Survey: In-store shopping sentiment up 21%

E-commerce activity remains robust, but a growing number of consumers are reintegrating physical stores into their shopping journeys in 2024, emphasizing the need for retailers to focus on omnichannel business strategies. That’s according to an e-commerce study from Ryder System, Inc., released this week.

Ryder surveyed more than 1,300 consumers for its 2024 E-Commerce Consumer Study and found that 61% of consumers shop in-store “because they enjoy the experience,” a 21% increase compared to results from Ryder’s 2023 survey on the same subject. The current survey also found that 35% shop in-store because they don’t want to wait for online orders in the mail (up 4% from last year), and 15% say they shop in-store to avoid package theft (up 8% from last year).

Hyster-Yale partners with Dept. of Defense’s SkillBridge program

After years in the military, service members and their spouses can find the transition to civilian life difficult. For many, a valuable support on that journey is the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) SkillBridge program. During their final 180 days of service, participants in the program are connected with companies that provide them with civilian work experience and training. There is no cost to those companies while the service member continues receiving military compensation and benefits.

Among the SkillBridge program’s supporters is Hyster-Yale Materials Handling, which provides lift trucks and technology solutions, primarily under the Hyster and Yale brand names. Hyster-Yale and its independently owned dealers partner with SkillBridge to recruit and train current service members, specifically for positions as skilled technicians.
