October issue of The MHEDA Journal focuses on relationships between material handling equipment manufacturers and distributors.

Dewitt, NY - The current issue of The MHEDA Journal, the leading online magazine for the forklift, storage and handling, and general material handling equipment industries, is now available for viewing at www.TheMhedaJournal.org. The print magazine was mailed to subscribers on October 15.

This edition features a focus on partnerships between manufacturers and distributors of material handling equipment. Such partnerships are essential for success, particularly in a down economy. In a time of uncertainty, mutual commitment from the supplier and the distributor is one thing both parties can be sure of to achieve positive results. This issue contains 18 stories of how collaboration directly resulted in sales.

Unique applications for material handling equipment described in these articles include:

An ergonomic lift table solution for assembling exhaust systems

A specially designed pallet rack system to hang hose inventory

27 custom modular containers for a steel plant

Air curtains at an outdoor bakery

Customized pallet handlers for beverage distribution

Sale of more than 6,000 forklift tires in a one-month period

Custom-made hoppers to gather particulate at a steel mill

Column protection at a makeshift distribution center in an old building

Drum mixers that led to sale of other products.
