| Poland: Arni at North Coast S.A. |
| It is summer, the time to fall in love! Let me give you some advice: the best way to someone's heart is through their stomach. So don't waste any more time and prepare a delicious dinner for your friend. Don't worry! Everything you might need has already been delivered to shop near you by me and North Coast, who employed me to help in their distribution of high-quality groceries. |

| Switzerland: Red Wiking at wg Logistic |
This time I had the chance to spend several weeks in the large warehouse of another transport company – WG Logistik. It is 15,000m2 in area and holds store about 4000 pallets. I was very impressed. They used me to move things over short distances – for the longer runs powered BT forklifts are used.

| Spain: Teide at Chocolates Valor |
| I have been working at Chocolates Valor for the last three months and it has been a great experience. I was able to work with a very fragile yet heavy material. The factory smelled really good – I guess you can imagine – but, unfortunatly, I didn’t meet Charlie, nor my cousin the Magic Lifter. What a pity!. However, I did lift pallets full of chocolates in all kind of shapes, sizes, and colours. A sweet, sweet experience! |

| Czech Republic: Golem at Toyota parts logistic center |
My latest mission has been in a Toyota car parts logistics centre. I thought I wouldn't be very busy there – how often do you see a Toyota broken down! But no, it was very interesting. I was handling all types of pallets and steel containers, loading lorries and also order picking.
My operators really liked my Quicklift function and said that I was very easy and smooth to use. The logistics centre is ordering more BT trucks to replace me!

My latest mission has been to help bring the famous Czech Budweiser to beer fans all around the world. I was working between the warehouse and the bottling room, handling paper wrapping, glue and labels for the bottles. I also helped at the goods-out area with barrels and bottles.

| Italy: Maciste at Baxi |
I am now working at a factory that makes boilers (Baxi S.p.A.) and exports them all over the world. My job is to handle the incoming raw materials and parts, such as pumps and valves, and take them to their places in the warehouse. The distance is about 50 metres and I carry up to 500kg at a time on Euro pallets, handling from the short side.
I work both of the factory's shifts each day, which is 16 hours! Everybody I work with has nice things to say about me, especially how good my pump is and how quickly I can lift the loads.

| Romania: E-liza at Ocean Fish |
I have nearly finished my second assignment now – the one at the fish processor with all the vinegar and salt! It's been hard but I'm OK.
They used me for lots of different things including unloading lorries and delivering the goods to the coldstore (at –20°C!), order picking from there into the preparation area (from the cold to the corrosive!)..... |

I have just left Hoekstra, a transport company in Sneek, where I have been on my first assignment.
They used me to help deliver two 1500kg stainless steel containers to a cheese manufacturer in Dronrijp – something they used to do with a powered truck. They said with me it worked just fine.

| Finally… after three months I was collected from the cheese company VIKA. It specialises in the production and application of cheese-based and other savoury building blocks. Together with my operator I took care of about 100–120 pallet movements a day without any problem. The guys at VIKA were certainly happy with my performance |
