Looking for a good read? MHEDA is offering members FREE access to the newly released book, Uncommon Threads: Weaving a Life Through Family, Business and Faith written by fellow MHEDA Member, John Wieland, CEO of MH Equipment. In this book, Wieland offers thoughtful business advice, unabashedly shares the mistakes he’s made along the way and asks useful questions that will serve as a primer for anyone wanting to live a successful and fulfilling life without losing their perspective on what success really means.
Forkliftaction reports: “In recent years, the sector has seen unprecedented technological disruption and, despite the global pandemic, significant growth. Driven by a number of factors – most significantly, the rise of e-commerce – but also increasing labour costs, environmental regulations and the digitisation of data and analysis, the sector has been forced to adopt new technologies to remain relevant and efficient.”
Within the report, a range of manufacturers share insights on what is new and innovative in forklift design and components, and reveal the challenges and trends that have underpinned their most recent technical developments.

On the Bright Side
The Material Handling Education Foundation, Inc. (www.mhefi.org) is an independent charitable organization that was established in 1976 with a mission to engage and attract students to the material handling, logistics and supply chain industry by providing financial support.
Since 1976, our programs have supported over 1,000 students and educators seeking pathways to quality educational programs and fulfilling careers. The Foundation offers scholarship award opportunities to undergraduates who are pursuing a material handling, logistics or supply chain career.
The student should clearly demonstrate dedication to achieving excellence, strong leadership skills, potential for future growth as a leader and persistence in the pursuit of education.
Scholarship awards range from $1,500 to $6,000 and must be used for costs relating to tuition, fees and books associated with attending school full-time. One application allows students to compete for one of the multiple scholarships offered by the Foundation. Scholarships are one-year awards, and former recipients may re-apply each year if they continue to meet the eligibility requirements.
The deadline for completing the scholarship application process is January 31, 2022. Steps include completed nomination, completed application and transcripts received. Scholarship awards for the 2022/2023 academic term will be announced by April 30, 2022. Questions may be sent to Donna Varner, MHEFI Executive Director, at dvarner@mhi.org.
