As our listing of the largest lift truck suppliers in the world shows, 2001 was a tough year that didn't treat all companies equally. Last year was not kind to many suppliers of lift trucks. The global market declined nearly 12 percent in terms of total lift trucks sold. The greatest pain was felt in the North Americas, which was off 14 percent.

And as would be expected, revenue at the 20 largest lift truck suppliers in the world reflected these conditions. But not all felt the pain equally.
