The nominations for the International Forklift Truck of the Year (IFOY) Award 2014 are in. In the first selection round, the jury chose eleven trucks and solutions from Crown, Jungheinrich, Still and Toyota for the final round from all the entries. Newly developed trucks, trucks that represent further developments or special models with significant technical improvements that have come onto the European market since December, 2012 were eligible for the award. "Not everyone has what it takes for IFOY. Only the best rise to the challenge of the tough selection process, and only the very best trucks and solutions are nominated", says Anita Würmser, Chairperson of the IFOY jury.

Nominated for IFOY Award 2013 in the Forklift Truck Solutions Category: Crown
90 percent lower maintenance and damage costs and a smaller - but far more efficient - truck fleet: this is the highly successful outcome of the project implemented by MHE specialist Crown at the Spicers company in the UK. Offering over 17,000 items from its product portfolio, including leading stationery brand 5Star™, and operating from eight strategically located distribution centres, Spicers is one of the UK’s largest wholesale providers of stationery and office supplies.
Nominated for IFOY Award 2013 in the Forklift Truck Solutions Category: Jungheinrich
For many years the family owned Warimex enterprise, which specialises in the worldwide import and export of household and gift items ranging from cosmetics to kitchenware, handled its logistics activities manually in a rented warehouse in Kehl. The storage area was spread over three floors and there was no warehouse management system, so the Warimex management decided to look for a new and more efficient solution. They commissioned Jungheinrich to build a completely new logistics centre in Neuried near Offenburg with a design that not only optimises front-to-end goods transport and makes the movement of goods transparent but also achieves zero error rates. The project was completed in November 2012 after a construction period of just two months.
