The Future of the Materials Handling Industry

On 10th April 2019, we joined fellow TCM dealers from across Europe at The Belfry Hotel & Resort near Birmingham to discuss the past, the present, and the future of the material handling industry. Our hosts TCM also announced some exciting new product launches.

The presentations from the European President and Senior Management team were both interesting and insightful, further reinforcing the TCM shared vision to continue challenging for excellence on a Global stage.

In addition to sharing news and customer success stories, the conference was coloured with discussions about the latest material handling industry trends.

During the conference, TCM also revealed how they are helping businesses to reduce their fuel consumption, lower emissions, and reduce their material handling costs.

The material handling industry is adapting by introducing more sustainable business practices; this is reflected in the new emission regulations and supporting products and solutions, such as TCM’s electric trucks, Li-ion battery technology, and fuel cells.

New 80 volt electric CB truck and optimised ICE trucks

During the conference TCM revealed the launch of a brand new electric counterbalance truck, the FHB-F1 80 volt 2.5-3.5 ton model.

This latest addition boasts class-leading energy consumption, enabling businesses to achieve a lower TCO (total cost of ownership) and invest their money elsewhere in their operations.
