History[1]

Knut Jacobsson started Elitmaskiner in Göteborg in 1958. At the time the company only made trucks for indoor use. Elitmaskiner changed its name to Atlet in 1966.

The company started by making hand pallet trucks. Around 1960 powered stackers and telereach trucks dominated the market. Knut Jacobsson then invented the pedestrian stacker that had a lifting capacity comparable with the telereach trucks, but could be used in narrower aisles, thanks to its patented side stabilizers.

Atlet started providing training for truck operators in the 70s. Technical developments continued with computerized simulations of warehouse management solutions, automatic trucks and mobile terminal systems, and between 1988 and 1994 Atlet took part in a development project in collaboration with doctors and occupational therapists. This resulted in Tergo, a telereach truck with ergonomic solutions such as the mini steering wheel and floating armrest.

Nissan Forklift, a subsidiary of the Nissan Motor Company, bought Atlet AB in 2007. Nissan Motor Company spin-off its Industrial Machinery Division and establish a new company, “Nissan Forklift Co., Ltd.”, effective from October 1, 2010.

gollark: So just take the image feature outputs and run them through a classifier thing?
gollark: Mine mostly don't share templates, actually, but that's a reasonable idea anyway. I'll look into it.
gollark: I wouldn't expect it to be able to understand hugely abstract things or whatever but just approximately match my tastes.
gollark: I want to make something to automatically classify memes as worth adding to my meme collection or not. I have several thousand already in there which are in it and so "good", and could probably crawl tons from Reddit which are probably "bad". Is this practical?
gollark: Is few *really* an adjective?
