I wonder if anyone is seeing any door closings on brand name dealers, or just "right sizing" for the market?

In Central Florida we are taking a beating. Every dealer in town is on a skeleton crew. Service departments that had 18 to 30 techs two years ago are now functioning with 6 to 9 techs and they are still not making 40 hours per week. We are seeing independents close their doors and some of the smaller dealers really struggling. The Clark dealer has already filed bankruptcy.

NMHG HQ in North Carolina just a had a major layoff this past Friday. Affected all departments and struck pretty hard. NMHG of course handled it with their usual efficiency and sensitivity.

to give you an idea I am located a couple hours west of Toronto. I am a independant contractor, all summer we had 50 to 60 hour weeks incl every other sat. Since Sept things have slowed down major , everybody is cutting down on expenses. The automotive sector for example ( nut and bolt factories) major lay offs to the extent of half staff. Down to two shifts instead of three and looking at a four week shut down at Christmas. Lumber whole salers products not moving and people just standing around. My work load has reduced by 60 percent which has me very worried ( last week lay-offs ). the only good thing now is the price of fuel 75 cents per liter down from 1.35We`re here for a good time

You can change the name but you can not change the facts, they are public record.

Thanks Bino2. Fact is they were in bankruptcy until Mr. Allen and another investor came along. I have friends in every major dealer in town. All of them had recieved notification a little over a year ago and all of them still have Mr. Allen on COD. So he has gotten mad and put everyone else on COD. Shall we talk about the stories of trying to get credit under a different name. Dont tell me what I know Mr. Allen. As Bino2 stated you cant deny public record. Over the last 20 years I have been offered work there many times and once again I gotta say not in a million years.

Public records show that Clarklift of Florida is a new entity that bought Clarklift of Orlando, which is now dissolved. That is not a name change! The new owners have invested millions of dollars in private money to bring the Clark brand back to prominence. We have many open trade accounts and I’ll provide bank references to anyone because we are strong. Clark has been making forklifts for over ninety years and we have great products. Clark is becoming a force once again. My name is Larry Allen and I can be reached at 321-504-0515 if anyone has a question.
