MOFFETT auctions a truck for local charities
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
CARGOTEC CORPORATION, PRESS RELEASE, 9 APRIL 2015 AT 2 P.M. EEST
As part of its 70th anniversary celebrations, MOFFETT, part of Cargotec's Hiab
business area, will be donating and auctioning a special edition 70th
anniversary truck-mounted forklift for charity.
The special edition truck will be a one-off build, featuring a custom paint
finish in platinum silver and anniversary edition branding. The model type and
specification will be selected to complement the fleet requirements of the
winning customer, and will be decided on in consultation with the local MOFFETT
dealer, the customer, and MOFFETT representatives.
The money raised from the winning bid will be donated to charities chosen by the
winners and runners-up of the MOFFETT World Championship 2015. Qualification
rounds begin in April across Europe, South Africa, Australia and the USA, with
the championship finals being held in October in Dundalk, Ireland.
The charities that will benefit will be local causes that are dear to the hearts
of the competition-winners in their home countries and localities, which makes
the charity auction all the more poignant.
"We encourage all of our customers to be generous with their auction bids,
because MOFFETT will donate the entire winning bid to charity," says Keith
Quigley, Senior Vice President, Truck Mounted Forklifts, Hiab. "By asking the
finalists of the MOFFETT World Championship to choose their favourite charities
in their home towns, we hope that many local people will really benefit from the
money raised. We value our close working partnerships with our customers, and we
think this is a fine way to celebrate our 70th anniversary."
The online charity auction will run until 30 September 2015, and bidders can
find more information, and pledge their bids, by registering at
moffettjubilee.com.
