The 24 nominations – representing 17 companies from across the globe – will form the industry’s annual Pick of The Year and will vie to earn an ‘Archie’ at Awards 2014, to be held on Saturday 1st February at the Birmingham Hilton Metropole.  

FLTA Chairman Geoff Martin says: “This year’s list represents all that’s finest in the fork lift truck sector – in its widest sense: from collision avoidance systems and remarkable fuel efficient engines to life-saving safety campaigns and futuristic gloves that remotely control trucks.”

Voting is open to anyone whose work involves materials handling equipment. This includes anyone who owns or hires fork lift trucks, as well as those who manage, supervise or train fork lift operators – and the operators themselves.  

All voting will take place online. The closing date is 31st December 2013.
