Description
In this episode, we talk to Ken Raycroft of Briggs Equipment in Dallas, Texas. He shares how he is working with customers on sanitation best practices with a program from Hyster-Yale that assures lift truck equipment is safe between shifts and multiple users.
Our news team discusses how many manufacturers are moving their sourcing and production from China, looking for more resiliency and to avoid tariffs. We also share how distributors without much automation may find their systems stressed this holiday season, as consumers avoid stores and move to e-commerce shopping.
