The fire is left without air
The fire protection specialists of the Wagner Group have been honored with the "GIT Safety Award 2026" for their "OxyReduct F-Line." The system expands the OxyReduct process with H2- based fuel cell technology, which simultaneously ensures emission-free energy supply.

Temperature-controlled at the motorway junction
Movianto, a logistics service provider specializing in pharmaceuticals and healthcare, is setting up a new cold storage facility in Wiesloch-Walldorf this month. A photovoltaic system there produces approximately 3,100 MWh per year, more electricity than the site consumes.

Fusion reactor in creep mode
Despite all the political turmoil currently shaking the world, work on the ITER fusion reactor, in which countless nations are involved, continues – much like on the ISS. Recently, another of the 15-meter-high segments for the future plasma chamber was delivered by heavy-duty transport.

Nonstop strapping
Mosca offers a comprehensive portfolio of integrated end-of-line systems for transport packaging, strapping machines, stretch wrappers, and associated consumables. Strapping made from materials such as PP and PET is produced with increasing recycled content.

Dynamic open-plan area
Relocations often involve considerable effort. Furniture needs to be transported, boxes packed, and unwanted items disposed of. The company " Optimal Umzug " from Lachen, Canton of Schwyz, offers services tailored to the greater Zurich area.

Optio L-Series updated
Developed with the user in mind, the completely redesigned generation of low-level order pickers in the Optio L series from TMHE sets new standards. Increased platform lifting heights, low entry, and versatile model variants for loads up to 2.5 t make these devices highly sought-after helpers.

Cold chain in transition: Ambitious goals
Temperature-controlled logistics is facing an energy revolution: battery-electric trucks, long-range hydrogen vehicles, and cryogenic cooling with nitrogen are transforming the industry. Enough "material" for the SVTL to discuss future processes and alternatives at Galliker in Altishofen.

DLR expands drone defense
While Russian drones have long been surveying German bases and critical infrastructures as potential targets for their “ asymmetric warfare ” a project called CUSTODIAN (Counter-UAS Technologies for Detection, Interception and Neutralization) is now slowly gaining momentum at the DLR.

ASTAG and GS1 to go green together
The Swiss Commercial Vehicle Association and GS1 Switzerland are merging their "Lean & Green" and "We go green!" initiatives. Both ASTAG and GS1 are embracing sustainability as a triad of economy, society, and the environment.

Interoperability proven
At an " Automation Day " hosted by Agilox, insights into the current status and future direction of the robotics provider were provided, rounded off by workflows that – modeled on real practical processes – demonstrated interoperability with the AMRs together with a Fanuc robot arm and a Palomat.

The new Traigo24 series from Toyota Material Handling is available with load capacities of 1 t, 1.25 t, and 1.5 t, up to 6.5 m lifting height. Thanks to its small size, the compact unit is equally suitable for light to medium-duty applications in factories, warehouses, and shops.
It's the smallest electric counterbalance forklift in the Traigo series. It's designed for simple, straightforward operations in confined spaces. Equipped with an energy-efficient lithium-ion drive and sophisticated ergonomics, it should ensure high productivity.
"There is currently high demand for electric forklifts. Our customers' requirements vary greatly depending on the loads to be transported, the work environment, and the right energy solutions. With our Traigo family, we are able to meet every need. For example, our new Traigo80 forklifts enable the transition to electric drive without compromising on performance. On the other hand, our new compact Traigo24 models facilitate simple applications for customers with occasional use," says Jose Maria Gener, Vice President of Sales & Marketing at Toyota Material Handling Europe.
Thanks to its compact chassis, the 24-volt electric forklift truck is extremely maneuverable and perfect for stacking loads in narrow aisles. Despite its compact size, the Traigo24 offers a comfortable operator's workplace. The new pedal layout and a tiltable steering column with memory function allow for more legroom. The integrated display provides easy access to key operating information, such as wheelbase position, load weight, and mast position. The electric forklift truck is also available with a range of different controls: mini levers, multifunction levers, and standard levers. The redesigned dashboard also provides good visibility of the load. The Traigo24 can be used both indoors and outdoors.
The electric forklift's features have been expanded with two new mast options – the FV and FSV masts. Both improve visibility to the fork tips and simplify maneuvering in low-ceilinged work environments.
In addition, more powerful and energy-efficient LED lighting is available as an option, ensuring operation in dark areas.
