SMH is deeply saddened by the devastation from the earthquake in Chile.
On Saturday, February 27, 2010 a devastating magnitude 8.8 earthquake struck Chile, one of the strongest earthquakes ever recorded. According to Chilean authorities, over 700 people are now known to have been killed and more than 1.5 million people were without power in and around the capital of Santiago. We are deeply saddened by the devastation from the earthquake in Chile and know that the rescue mission and re-building of Chile will be a long and costly task. We may never know the full impact of the disaster, but we must have great faith for the recovery and healing of Chile.
Our thoughts and prayers are with all Chileans, but especially our customers and their families stricken by the earthquake.

The first Parts Professional Training of 2010 is coming up on March 23-25 at the SMH Headquarters in Olathe, KS. The course was designed to help attendees strengthen their parts departments through increasing productivity. The skills presented during the training have proven to be important in the down economy.
Participants will experience a “Hands on” learning environment where they study all areas of the forklift truck along with truck classifications and carriage classifications of the Industrial Truck Association. The training concludes with inventory training, and parts department management training. Attendees will have the opportunity to brainstorm and strategize with other attendees in which they will create a strategic plan for improvement specific to their own needs within their parts department.
