Finally, standing in the middle of the year a truly competent and detailed overview of the mood of the entire industry is available - the 2008 fiscal year is complete, whether there is, as usual, there is no single maturities. STAPLERWORLDWORLD offering this service still in the early summer, so that the results of large corporations with fiscal year = calendar year may be considered. The fact that companies like JCB, Liebherr and Terex (Genie, PPM, Fantuzzi forklifts) are not listed, has its ground, and their material handling sales, understandably, is extremely difficult eliminated in the net income. 2008 was safe for a long time is an absolute record year with a total market volume of about 900,000 vehicles. In May 2008 the World FFZ production reached a value of around 90,000 devices - after that's quickly went downhill, the last quarter of 2008 already showed a level which was held in the first two quarters 2009th The U.S. is an entirely separate market, which had already been disconnected from the upward trend, only 157,000 units were sold (In 2007 there were 191,000). This of course depends on the cause, together with the building crisis, which has its impact on FFZ different types of four-wheel gas forklift tires (the standard unit in the U.S.) to the four-combi, Schwerstapler and truck mounted forklifts. Europe is by far the largest market, which recorded 2008, approximately 381,000 units, while imports are rising here, of course, even if one can not truly speak of a "rollover" of the Far Eastern market with devices. Few Chinese brands (HC, EP, Heli) have been able to permanently establish themselves in different markets and achieve good results, how well the devices, shows the current Helf test in this issue. Europe is in contrast to the U.S. and Asia, also a very sophisticated market with the largest by far now, not only brands but also for devices. The offer is especially in the warehouse and Sytemtechnik widening fanned. Who would have thought that today there is already some eight manufacturers of Standstaplern in Europe. They follow a trend from the U.S., the "standing" to worker paid less than sedentary. While this is not so in this country, but the gaps in the market for the devices (keyword DIY stores) to do more and more. The tractor-field is getting more sophisticated. The ranking takes into account only the manufacturers that have reported their sales to us, we have the companies can even give each of their sales and have it reviewed each case and nachrecherchiert, if that was possible and desired.
