The automation of material handling is rapidly expanding within the logistics domain, driven by factors that span from budget management to ensuring health and safety standards. Organisations throughout the supply chain are actively seeking ways to lower operational and production costs while decreasing manual labour.

The logistics market has recently welcomed a new contender in the forklift trucks segment: Bobcat, a well-known manufacturer of compact construction equipment.

Saudi-based JuffaliTrucks, a subsidiary of Juffali Commercial Vehicles (JCV) specialising in pre-owned trucks, trailers and applications, has launched a new online platform (www.JuffaliTrucks.com) to offer customers a comprehensive solution for their trucking needs.

Two years after joining forces, Hilti and Trackunit are launching a van inventory and heavy equipment management solution that aims to deliver new automation and productivity gains for construction customers globally.
