The HIANZ National Forklift Operator Championships, proudly sponsored by AB Equipment and the Forklift Industry Sector within HIANZ, were held across the country in June. We saw competitors battling it out at the Auckland, Mt Maunganui, Hastings, Palmerston North and Christchurch AB Equipment branches for the Regional Heats.

These five finalists came up to Auckland for the National Finals in Auckland on 23rd July at the Viaduct Event Centre, alongside HIRECON24.

Congratulations to the winner Anthony Allen from Booths Logistics in Hastings, NZ Forklift Operator of 2024.
