The rise in sales was attributed to “share gains from new products, particularly the all-wheel steer and European-design telehandler families”.

The rising sales helped to offset disappointing sales of work platforms where revenues were $91.3 million, 11 percent lower quarter-over-quarter, “primarily due to lower sales volumes affected by economic pressures in North America and in Europe, offset in part by stronger sales in other international regions”
