German term or phrase: Flurfördermittel
This is from a spreadsheet so there is no information other than the headings. It's for a company putting on a trade fair for the supply industry, in a list headed "Sektor".

"Stapler, Flurfördermittel"

I gather it means fork lifts etc but don't know if there's an equivalent general term in EN. Thanks!
